184. Hotel Planner Points: How to Earn Points for Any Event

Some of the biggest points opportunities have nothing to do with your credit card at all.    It turns out hotels quietly reward the person who books an event with them, a conference, a retreat, a wedding, a family reunion, and most people have no idea. They're called planner points.    To unpack them, I sat down with Rachel Posada Fletcher, who spent years as an event manager negotiating exactly these kinds of hotel contracts. And the best part is you don't have to plan events for a living to earn and benefit from planner points.   Tapping into this points earning potential comes down to simply knowing the opportunity is there and being willing to ask for it. Rachel gets into how these rewards work, the ways a single event can pay off on more than one front, and what she wishes more people understood before signing a hotel contract. If you run a business, help pull together events at work, or have a big celebration on the horizon, I think you'll finish this one seeing your next gathering as more than just an expense.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/hotel-planner-points    Eager to learn the secrets of award travel so that you can turn your expenses into unforgettable experiences?
