CSC has long had contracts supporting military IT systems at Joint Base San Antonio, Lackland, and this hotel sits minutes from the base's main gates. If you are rotating through for project work or training support, code 41862 drops your nightly rate and stacks with Radisson Rewards earning at 20 points per dollar. That means a typical three or four night TDY here saves enough to cover a couple of dinners on the Riverwalk.
The Property
The hotel is at 6502 Enrique M. Barrera Pkwy, tucked between Lackland AFB to the south and the SeaWorld San Antonio theme park to the northwest. The surrounding area is suburban and quiet, with strip malls and chain restaurants lining Highway 90, so you will not struggle to find a Whataburger or H-E-B grocery store within a few minutes. San Antonio International Airport is about a 20 minute drive north depending on I-410 traffic.
Country Inn & Suites properties at this tier offer standard king and double queen rooms, plus studio suites with a separate sitting area and pullout sofa for longer assignments. Rooms typically include a microwave, mini fridge, and a desk with an ergonomic chair and accessible power outlets. Wi-Fi is complimentary across the property, which matters when you are uploading deliverables back to the CSC VPN in the evening.
The hotel includes complimentary hot breakfast each morning, covering eggs, waffles, oatmeal, and rotating items, which is a genuine perk when your per diem needs stretching. There is an outdoor pool and a small fitness room with cardio equipment and free weights. Guest laundry facilities are on site, useful if you are staying more than a few nights and want to pack light.
Lackland AFB's Valley Hi Gate is roughly five minutes south by car, making the commute painless even during morning gate congestion. For after-work dining beyond fast food, the Potranco Road corridor has options like Los Barrios and a cluster of Tex-Mex spots locals actually recommend. The Riverwalk and downtown San Antonio are about 15 minutes east on US-90, easy enough for a weekend evening out.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $130 | $111 | 2,220 pts | $8.88 | $102.12 | $27.88 |
| Superior | $210 | $179 | 3,580 pts | $14.32 | $164.68 | $45.32 |
| Premium | $340 | $289 | 5,780 pts | $23.12 | $265.88 | $74.12 |
On a typical night where the public rate runs around $210, entering CSC code 41862 drops it to roughly $179, saving you $31 before you even factor in points. You will earn about 3,580 Radisson Rewards points on that stay, worth approximately $14.32 at standard redemption value. That brings your effective net cost down to around $164.68, a total savings of about $45.32 compared to booking at rack rate without the program.
How to Book with Code 41862
- Go to radissonrewards.com and log into your Radisson Rewards account, or create one if you have not already
- Enter San Antonio, TX as your destination along with your check-in and check-out dates
- Expand the Special Rates or Corporate Code section on the search form
- Type 41862 into the corporate code field
- Confirm that the Country Inn & Suites Lackland AFB property shows a reduced corporate rate, then complete your booking with a personal or corporate card
Stack Your Savings
If you hold Radisson Rewards Premium or VIP status, your points earning jumps to 30 or 50 points per dollar respectively, which layers directly on top of the corporate rate. That means a $179 night at VIP tier earns 8,950 points worth about $35.80, nearly doubling your effective discount. Status also gets you room upgrades when available and late checkout, both useful on travel days.
The best credit card pairing here is the Radisson Rewards Premier Visa, which earns 10 bonus points per dollar on Radisson stays on top of your member earning, pushing a standard member to 30 points per dollar without any elite status at all. If you do not carry that card, general travel cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Capital One Venture still earn their standard multiplier, so you are double-dipping on currency. Always put the stay on a card that codes hotel spend at 2x or better.
Radisson runs periodic promotions, often quarterly, offering bonus points for completing a set number of stays or spending thresholds. Register for these on the Radisson Rewards promotions page before your trip, since they require opt-in and do not apply retroactively. Booking midweek also tends to yield lower base rates near military installations, as weekend demand rises from SeaWorld visitors.
Bottom Line: Depending on the night and season, CSC employees using code 41862 here can expect effective savings between roughly $28 and $74 per night once you account for both the rate discount and the Radisson Rewards points earned. The location is hard to beat for Lackland AFB work, breakfast is included, and the 4.0 rating across over 1,100 reviews suggests consistent quality without surprises. It is a practical, no-fuss pick that keeps your travel budget and your per diem in good shape.
