Last night was a blast at the 2012 Freddie Awards here in NJ. I got to hang out with some of my favorite bloggers, meet industry folks, and chat about points and miles with readers – definitely my kind of night out! It was also funny seeing all of the bloggers with their heads buried in their phones (myself included), reporting live tweets as the winners were announced. For those following me on Twitter, I apologize for blowing up your home feed; I think I tweeted more last night than in an entire year. My fingers hurt!
At the end of the night, all attendees were given a swag bag filled with goodies from the sponsors. I have enough goodies in my small apartment (for those who know me on a personal level, I’m the complete opposite of a hoarder… I’m notorious for taking only a backpack on long trips abroad).
With that said, who wants my goodies? I’ll be giving my entire swag bag from the 2012 Freddie Awards to a lucky winner. Some of the cool items inside are: a black leather passport holder, a neck pillow from American Express, a nice toiletries bag, American Express TSA-approved travel bottles & clear zip case, Inside Flyer magazine, a commemorative “2012 Freddie Awards” bag tag, a fun airplane lollipop… etc. Take a look at the picture below:

I like all your posts because you’re so darn cute!
I enjoy your trip reviews. We travel a lot and its interesting to hear of other peoples travels.
Too bad you were not at todays event. I will have to catch up with you later. I love the trip reviews and posts on how the flights and hotels are its a form of trip advisor that you know you can trust.
I agree – trip reviews are great. I’m taking that same CX F flight for my honeymoon soon so it was nice to see what we can expect!
I appreciate your Resources Tab as I find it very easy to navigate, and it has helped me as it is just as the tab indicates, a “Resource.” In addition, I wrote you recently and you were kind enough to reply.
You give great trip reviews!
I really enjoy when you post about how to get free points (without actually traveling!) Love being able to earn points even when I don’t have time to fly or spend the night at a hotel.
I love the hotel reviews!
love the info on good deals on luggage/bags!
i like the trip recaps that you do especially the ones to asia.
I like that your posts are clear and easy to read. I especially like info on getting points/miles for free
Trip reviews are really informative and fun to read!
Enjoy the trip reviews and resources tab.
The Trip Reports tab :)
More specific hotel reviews with photos, but I love all your posts! Keep up the great work and enjoy FTU.
I enjoy your posts that have personal experiences. Those are always fun to read!
More trip reports with destination highlights!
I like posts about credit cards and flight discounts!
I like your personal journey type posts that simply relay your experiences. Everyone else does the “this promo was posted 60 seconds ago”. Hearing how you’re implementing the promo and how it went and your thinking behind it is helpful rather than simply duplicating everyone else.
Posts from your Dad!
Personal perspective. That’s what makes reading fun!
Continue doing what you are doing! Your blog stands out from others because of its content….your trip reports are great!

I like the posts pointing out how to score free points and miles.
The reason why I bookmarked this blog and keep it along with thepointsguy, the frequent miler, and million miles secret is because of the wonderful stories that you share about your family’s travels and the great ways you guys collect points. These are wonderful qualities that the other blogs just don’t have! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful stories with us!
I love when you give news about new ways to accumulate points!
I like the resources tab.

The trip reports and how to get points/miles
It’s cold in northern NJ now. I’d rather read your blog than going out. Your Resources tab helps me narrowing in searching on some deals. Keep it up…
Trip reports are the best…
I’d enjoy hearing about how the miles “game” intersects with your acting career. Or aspects of your acting career that are helped by your miles expertise.
Although I didn’t win, I really liked it when you referenced my post. (Example – the beach ball idea, brilliant!) You made me smile,
I love the trip reports! Keep up the great work.

I’m new at all this and I love your trip reviews AND how to accumulate more miles. I’d love to learn how to book award tickets myself when multiple airlines could be involved and how to add a “free” stopover on my trip to Sydney next year.

Hotel reviews are easy to find on many other sites, flight reviews are good but many do it already. I would prefer to see more of “things-to-do” on a trip.
