Frequent Traveler University is being held at the Sheraton Meadowlands on April 27 and 28, following the Thursday evening Freddie Awards and the Friday Randy Petersen Travel Executive Summit.

The Saturday schedule will feature Randy Petersen, The Points Guy, Mommy Points, Daraius of Million Mile Secrets, legendary frequent flyer Steve Belkin (“beaubo” – known for hiring disabled rice farmers to fly in and out of the Golden Triangle area of Thailand for the miles, among other exploits), and Tommy Danielsen Milepoint co-founder and organizer of the MegaDOs. I’m also speaking in three slots as well. Your organizer is, as ever, Milepoint co-founder Pizzaman.

I’m told that Sunday will feature a ‘credit card lion’s den’ where issuers will pitch their cards to experts who will ask the tough questions in response, and where several major hotel and airline loyalty programs will have executives on hand to meet directly with their members.
