The Frequent Traveler Awards were held Thursday evening at Citi field in New York. Yours truly donned a tuxedo and had the honor of presenting Program of the Year for an Airline Frequent Flyer Program to Aeroplan (Americas), Lufthansa Miles & More (Europe & Africa), and Emirates (Middles East, Asia, Oceania). Here’s Ben Mutzabaugh’s take from USA Today, titled “And the world’s top frequent-flier awards go to …” It was an amazing evening, healined by emcee Robert Wuhl, himself a frequent flyer and mileage aficianado.

The Top 6 Current Deals for Earning Miles and Free Travel
Through May 6 a new Chase British Airways Visa receives up to 100,000 bonus miles for the $95 annual fee and modest required spend.

There are 5 days left to apply for the Chase British Airways Visa and receive a 100,000 mile signup bonus, an offer which expires on May 6th. It’s a phenomenal offer. For instance, 100,000 British Airways miles can be used for a business class ticket on Cathay Pacific from New York to Bali via Hong Kong (with an allowable stopover). 80,000 British Airways miles can be used for, say, New York or Miami in business class on LAN all the way to Easter Island, with a stopover in South America in each direction (perhaps in Santiago and Buenos Aires).
