Starwood is offering a promotion for event planners (or just whoever is doing the bookings) to earn extra Starpoints for booking groups for 2013.

Here are the deets:

• Preferred members earn 1 Starpoint for every $3 USD spent on group bookings
• Gold and Platinum members earn 1 Starpoint for every $2 USD spent on group bookings
• Plus, earn one elite-night credit for every 10 group nights (elite-night credit not eligible towards Lifetime elite credit)

This extra Starpoints bonus is a great little bonus for doing the extra work of group bookings. At the same time, if you are planning an event or meeting at a Starwood property, definitely take a look at becoming a registered Starwood Preferred Planner so that you can get in on a signing bonus, 2% rebate on master-billed rooms, and your choice of a welcome bonus.
