I'm still wondering why it took IB a month to post the results 
& note the timing coincided with the Freddies. 
On a dif note - I never noticed a lot of upgrades w/ Hiltons overseas, so a bit surprised that they took that category.
Cheers.

That's a copy of the release from today. The basic explanation of how the voting tabulation works is in the top section of the Awards announcement page www.flyertalk.com/awards.

Trophy posted now at http://www.flyertalk.com/awards/ 
It was inspired by vintage luggage tags used in decades past to route baggage around the world. It also includes a few details that will be familiar nods to hardcore FlyerTalkers! Hope you like him/her/it!

I'm very disappointed the Delta Air Lines that they didn't win this year. Maybe they will try again. Oh well! 
I always though DL want to win. They didn't have a best SkyMiles program.

. Yes, the trophies do look cool.
And United's going to slide farther down the list next year given this year's debacle w/ the takeover, er, merger.
Cheers.

The Freddies are not part of this community anymore, so who really cares when the Freddies are given out?
