Starwood Preferred Planner: a truly rewarding experience for meeting planners.
Starwood Preferred Planner is one of the best reward and recognition programs for meeting planners. As a Starwood Preferred Planner, you are automatically enrolled in the Starwood Preferred Guest program, so you can use just one member number, whether you're booking for business or pleasure.
As a Starwood Preferred Planner, you can look forward to the following exclusive benefits:
- Free Nights with No Blackouts: Stay just three times to earn a free night. Only Starwood Preferred Planner allows you to redeem Starpoints(SM) any time you want to go. Other programs say no blackouts, but limit the number of free rooms available. With Starwood Preferred Guest, if there is a room available in the hotel, it's yours!
- Earn one Starpoint for every three U.S. Dollars of eligible group rooms revenue, meeting rooms revenue and catering revenue, less taxes & surcharges, maximum 20,000 points, when planning meetings regardless of billing method.
- Earn Starpoints whether you are planning a group meeting, wedding reception or family reunion.
- Redeem your Starpoints for $100 gift certificates towards educational books, conference registration fees and membership dues with Meeting Professionals International.
- Through StarGift you can donate the points you earn from planning meetings and events to UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
- Instant, Paperless Redemption: Redeem Starpoints instantly online, over the phone or at the hotel. No lead time, no paperwork -- unlike other frequent guest programs.
- Redeem points for gift certificates from some of your favourite stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue.
- Room Upgrades: As few as 1,000 Starpoints can get you an upgrade to a Specialty Room or Suite at participating Starwood hotels and resorts. Arrange an upgrade before your stay or when you arrive at the hotel.
