Isnt it funny how they like carpet better than all the expencive scratching posts.we have one spot in the lounge and one on the landin and a patch in the babies room (when they sneak in there).I haven used it but theres a catnip spay you could try using to tempt them to the scratching post.
Someone suggested that on Facebook, but the thing is she is clawing all the carpets so I would have to spray the whole house. It's worst on the stairs, but if I spray the stairs I fear she will just move to a different bit of carpet - or worse the wallpaper or curtains.
I think somehow - perhaps with catnip - get her into scratching her scratching post.
Can't address your problem as we don't have cats but I love both scratchers but the Tardis is definitely the one I would get if I were rich and had a cat.
Lexi claws the carpets too. If I catch her and tell her to stop, she does. Lexi would probably scratch a carpeted scratching post, but John doesn't want the ugly thing we have downstairs upstairs. And when we bought a cheap one for upstairs...it got carpet pieces everywhere. Wish I had some good advice for you.

I did think about trying catnip.
Maybe you could spray the carpet with cat repellent?
