Frequent Traveler awards voting wraps up October 15. If you haven’t voted, now’s the time. Already several hundred thousand travelers have cast ballots in each hotel and airline category — literally millions of votes cast for the best loyalty programs out there.

The award ceremony will be held Thursday, November 4 in Houston — and the traveling public is welcome.

There will be top leadership from the airline and hotel frequent flyer and frequent guest programs in attendance. In all, I expect about 350 attendees. There are a limited number of spots left, but you’re welcome to RSVP. It’s not free, however… Randy Petersen did pick up the full tab for travelers who wanted to join for dinner at the Freddies. But we just don’t have the deep pockets or sponsors to make that happen. (Then again, the first decade-plus that Randy hosted the Freddies, he wasn’t in a position to pick up the full dinner tab, either.) Instead, $41.50 covers cocktail hour, dinner, and after-party. Naturally that doesn’t cover the full cost. So we’re able to help out a bit.

Hope to see some of y’all in Houston!
