It is time for the the next Frequent Traveler University, which is coming up in Chicago on the weekend of June 1-2, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare Chicago

FTU bills itself as a way to learn the insider tips, tricks and secrets to using frequent flyer miles, hotel points and credit card rewards in a small group environment. FTU Signature combines high-quality topics and indispensable social networking with like-minded travelers to create an unforgettable attendee experience

FTU Signature Chicago 2019

FTU Signature is what I think of as more of the “traditional” FTU – this is the whole weekend and your ticket includes

  • Two days of educational sessions.
  • Lunch on Saturday and Sunday with iced tea or lemonade
  • Internet in the conference rooms.
  • For the first 75 people to purchase a ticket: Free pizza dinner with soft drinks on Friday night!*

Speakers include:

With more to come

You can read the full session lineup at the FTU Chicago website. There are sessions on travel, manufactured spending, as well as a roundtable discussion on the future of miles and points.

Tickets are $249 though I have codes for $35 off (making your total price $214 – see below)

FTU Chicago 2019 promo codes

There is one set of FTU Chicago 2019 promo codes for $35 off of FTU Chicago 2019, using promo code EARLYBIRD.  This code gives $35 off registration, regularly $249. This code expires at midnight PST April 10, 2019, lowering the weekend ticket cost to just $214

You’ll also get a “free” Pizza dinner Friday night, May 31st (attendees will get a RSVP email prior to the event, limited to first 75 participants to register, includes pizza and soft drinks.). I put “free” in quotation marks because technically it’s “free” with your $214 purchase :-). Perhaps “included” would be a better way to put it? 🙂

Should you go to FTU Chicago 2019?

I’ve had fun at conferences like this.  For many of us, we are the only “miles and points” people in our area, so it can be fun to spend time with other people who “get it”.
