Check out our Top Rewards Cards to boost your points earning and travel more!


Frequent Traveler University Seattle is May 4, 2024.

Seattle FTUs have been among our most high-rated events. FTU Seattle 2017 was a month before we moved to Seattle. That trip I returned to NY via an overnight stop in Fairbanks, Alaska to attempt to catch the northern lights (Fairbanks was in heavy downpour and I slept in the terminal till my dawn flight rather than trudge to a rental car.)

This May we make a return to the Sheraton Seattle Airport South. Last time Tim S. got the upgrade to the coveted bi-level suite. Who will get it this time?
