I sense an ethical problem in your setting out to maximize your own points from this endeavor. You should pick the properties that will be best suited for the overall purpose of your group and all its individual participants, not the hotel from which your personal gain is highest. if the participants pay some or all of their own expenses, you probably should disclose that as an event organizer, you earn some points. How do you plan to allocate the upgraded rooms and other freebies?
