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:
To win, all you have to do is leave a comment below sharing your favorite types of posts on the blog. I have a lot of fun ideas as to where I want to take the blog in the near future, and I appreciate all of the feedback and support I get from the readers. Simply leave a suggestion, tell me what you want to see more of, less of, or just any general feedback and comments.
I’ll select a winner from the comments using Random.com on Tuesday May 1, at 9:00 AM EST.
Good luck and I look forward to your feedback!

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.
Cameron says
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!
Daniel says
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.
Justin says
You give great trip reviews!

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.

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 personally enjoy the Blogs of you and your family’s personal experiences both bad and good of places you have gone to or recommend. I enjoy a heads up to not only places of interest that are a must; but precautionary measures from experiences you have encountered. Your pics also that you post are wonderful and connect well to the topic of the Blog. You bring your travels to life both verbally and visually.
