As you may be aware, the Freddie Awards will be held at the Delta Museum in Atlanta, GA this year on April 30th. They celebrate the best loyalty programs in hotels and airlines, and the promotions, offers, service and other features they provide to consumers.
Voting is now open, and I thought I’d take a look at the programs I voted for this year:
My top programs pretty much fell into these few:
- American Airlines AAdvantage for their loyalty program, award availability and elite status perks.
- Kimpton Karma Rewards for their loyalty program, free night availability and Inner Circle perks.
- Hyatt Gold Passport for their Diamond tier perks, and generally good customer service.
