Maximize points & miles from Large Event
Hello!
I'd greatly appreciate some advice on how to maximize point earnings from an event I'm organizing next year.
The event is a 30 day motor tour across the United States. It will require somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 rooms for a total of 30 nights in 23 different cities/towns.
I would imagine 4500 hotel nights have a very good point/milage earning potential if played right. I will administer all room bookings & payments. I will also make individual booking agreements with each hotel. Half of the cities we're staying at don't have the big hotels but chains like fourpoints, hampton inn & best western are present.
How would you approach this booking process, & what loyalty programs will have the best earning potential for this event?
