While doing some research for another post, I came across a promotion that Hilton is currently running which offers meeting planners the choice of either 2x Event Planner points or the ability to make the meeting carbon neutral via its Plan It Forward promotion.
The Deal
- Event planners can earn 2x Event Planner points or make your meetings carbon neutral at Hilton properties with their Plan It Forward promotion.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- To qualify your meeting or event, book 10 or more Peak rooms by December 31, 2022. Your meeting or event must be held by March 31, 2023. Offer available worldwide only at participating hotels. Offer is not available for citywide events, social or sports team guestroom blocks. Offer subject to availability and may vary by hotel and region. This offer is for new business only and may not be combined with other offers. See hotel contract for additional terms and conditions.
- Carbon Neutral Meetings: Participating hotels will procure, at no cost to the group customer, the necessary carbon credits to offset the estimated emissions from the meeting or event, based on calculations from Hilton’s LightStay platform. Offer available worldwide only at participating hotels. Offer is not available for citywide events, social or sports team guestroom blocks. This offer is for new business only and that it may not be combined with other offers. The applicable terms and conditions of the Carbon Neutral Meeting offer will be expressed in the applicable group booking contract signed by the group customer and the participating hotel. Only hotels that have opted-in to the Plan it Forward Offer or the Carbon Neutral Meetings Offer are eligible to participate in this offer.
- Hilton Event Planner Program: Event Planner Bonus Points must be awarded for meeting room and guest room charges; eligibility of all other charges is at the sole discretion of the hotel.

Premium (if available) has a fee. Not free at properties with a resort charge. To learn more about the program or to join visit https://www.hilton.com/en/events/hilton-honors-event-planner-program/.

Quick Thoughts
It doesn’t look like there’s much time left to take advantage of this promotion. Although it’s valid on events and meetings through March 31, 2023, those have to be booked by December 31, 2022.
Something else to bear in mind that Event Planner points are earned at a different rate than stays at Hilton properties. Hilton Honors members earn 10x points on Hilton stays (5x at their Home2 Suites and Tru brands), but event planners normally only earn 1x point per dollar spent on guest rooms, meeting rooms, etc., so this Plan It Forward promo means you’ll earn 2x Hilton Honors points. That’s not going to be a huge return unless you’re spending a lot on the event(s), but it’s points you might as well earn if you were going to book it at a Hilton property anyway.
