Vote in the HfP Travel & Loyalty Awards 2023 – and win 10,000 Avios

Back in November 2019 we launched the Head for Points Travel & Loyalty Awards. It was a big success, both in terms of the number of HfP readers who voted and the way that the airline, hotel, credit card and airport lounge industry embraced it.

In January 2020 we hosted a lovely dinner at Quo Vadis in Soho to celebrate the winners.

We decided to make it an annual event. And then …. well, you know the rest.

But now we’re back, with the Head for Points Travel & Loyalty Awards 2023.

We are in the privileged position of having an audience – you – that has an exceptional knowledge of business travel, airlines, hotels, airline lounges and travel credit cards.  Many of you experience these products on a regular basis, and far more frequently than either Rob, Sinead or I do.

The Head for Points Travel & Loyalty Awards 2023 are a great opportunity to recognise the cream of the crop when it comes to UK premium business and leisure travel.  A lot of the areas we are covering, such as airport lounges and travel credit cards, are ignored by other awards because they are too niche – but for our readers, they are very important and appreciated.

You can vote in the Head for Points Travel and Loyalty Awards 2023 here.

We have a small bribe to encourage you to do so – full details below.  One entrant will win 10,000 Avios.

What are the categories?

There are 14 categories, including:

• Best Business Class seat

• Best Premium Economy seat

• Best UK airport lounge

• Best new or refurbished UK airport lounge

• Best UK travel rewards credit card

• Best credit card sign-up bonus of the year

• Best hotel loyalty programme

• Best hotel loyalty promotion of the year

• Best value miles or points redemption of the year

…. and more!

We genuinely want to recognise the best of what is out there.  Whilst we have drawn up a shortlist for each category, we have also included an ‘Other’ option.  If you think we have missed something good, write it in.

Rob and I will look at all of the ‘Other’ suggestions and select a small number of ‘Editor’s Choice Awards’ alongside the main winners.  This means that niche lounges, credit cards or products can still be a winner, so please put them forward.

You can skip any categories if you don’t have a particular opinion or no relevant experience – just click ‘Next’.

What can you win?

Voting is open now and will end at midnight on Tuesday 2nd January. We hope you can spare a couple of minutes (and it really is just a couple!) over the festive period to let us know who you think should win in each category.

One voter will be drawn at random and will receive 10,000 Avios.  We will also throw in two tickets to the Head for Points Summer Party in June (date TBC) and a handful of drinks vouchers on the night.  For clarity, we are paying for the Avios ourselves – British Airways is not sponsoring the awards in any way.

Thank you to our sponsor Rakuten Advertising

The awards and the winner’s dinner in January are being generously sponsored by Rakuten Advertising.

Rakuten Advertising leads the industry in delivering performance-driven ad solutions that help some of the world’s top travel and finance brands connect with unique, highly engaged audiences – from first impression to final sale.
