The Frequent Traveler University brings together some of the top loyalty program executes, travel bloggers and mileage gamers. It’s a great event for those looking to learn how to earn more miles and redeem those hard earned miles for unique travel experiences.

The next event in Tampa, Florida has a packed formal schedule with an impressive list of travel bloggers for you to glean information from to use with your next award trip, loyalty credit card application or “braking the bank” points earning promotion. What ever you are interesting in learning about these formal sessions will be sure to provide valuable information.

But there is one less talked about event which can have just as much if not more rich information exchanged. At this session there is no formal agenda but there is much to be learned. The Friday night happy hour at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay.

With a complimentary bar, great company and views of the Tampa Bay, the drinks and Frequent Flyer secrets will surely flow freely.
