Diners Wins Freddie (2/4/99)


FULL STORY:

For the second year in a row, The Club Rewards program by Diners Club International was awarded the prestigious Freddie Award for the "Best Frequent Traveler Affinity Charge/Credit Card”, by the readers of InsideFlyer.

In addition to winning the coveted Freddie for being the favorite program of the year, the 82,480 voters awarded Diners Club a score of 9.3605 out of a possible 10 in terms of value delivered.  The voters, some of the world’s most frequent travelers, belong to seven loyalty programs on average.

The Freddie Awards -- named after Sir Freddie Laker in honor of his accomplishments in marketing travel during the 1970’s -- have become a popular method for frequent travelers to make their likes known concerning frequent travel programs.  The Freddie is the frequent traveler’s answer to the Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Awards.
