There's a glitch in the ballot. When you vote in the "Outstanding" and then submit, the software tells you that you've already voted in the "Best" ballot, even if you haven't. However, exiting and reentering the ballot seems to allow you to vote again.

opposite problem
I voted for both halves but there is no button or other indication to show I have finished, and indeed I get the message to vote again when I log in./

Does the message appear when you are logged in as well? It should only appear if you are not logged in or if you haven't voted yet.

Hmm... what message are you referring to? There is a sitenotice with the Awards logo that appears (once) at the top of the forum if you are *not* logged in when you come to FT, but there's no message if you're logged in...

right but there is no "signoff" after you vote
that says something like "thanks for voting" or whatever. But I see from my handle that it says I voted so I guess it worked.

Yeah, I had the same experience & figured it out after I saw the avatar.

Cheers.

Swiss Int'l Airlines and Austrian Airlines are not listed.
They are part of Miles & More but they are different airlines than Lufthansa. If Agean is listed as sperate airline with Miles & More, so should they.
I want to vote for Swiss!

This award is about loyalty programmes, not airlines... A3 have their own programme?

You may still see the banner the first time you come to the site; it will disappear when you navigate to any page

Thanks for voting!

Why should I see the banner at all, esp. when I'm already logged in?!

Error message received
I've attempted to vote numerous times while logged in, using both Firefox and Safari. But in each instance I get the following message:

"There was an error saving your vote. Please try again later."

Any suggestions?
