Check out these exciting new changes to Frequent Traveler University Advanced Newport Beach!

As some of you know, I’m involved with the Frequent Traveler University project, and our next event will be from December 4-6 in Newport Beach, California.

Here’s how we describe the event, in a nutshell:

Over two days, our experts will share their extensive knowledge of how to earn, book, and travel like a pro on both revenue and reward tickets. FTU Advanced features a small-group setting, allowing our experts to go far beyond the basics, and Q&A sessions with each speaker will give all participants an opportunity to engage at a high level to discuss complex issues and address your most difficult questions.

I’m responsible for the scheduling, and we’ve add some exciting classes to this upcoming Newport Beach program, many of which we haven’t offered before. My goal is to vary each event that way each Frequent Traveler University provides new sessions, and for next year, new speakers, too.

Topics will include the following:

• Advanced Tricks with Credit Card Rewards
• Introduction to Advanced Reward Bookings
• Advanced Manufactured Spend
• NEW: Pro-Tips: Alaska Airlines
• Pro Tips: American Airlines
• 101 Tips, Tricks and Hacks to be an Expert Traveler
