The oldest and most prestigious awards for loyalty travel were held on April 25 at the C.R. Smith Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.   Taking top honors as Program of the Year in the Middle East/Asia/Oceania region, IHG® Rewards Club also won first place in five of the six categories for which it was nominated:   - Best Promotion for Accelerate* in Europe/Africa  - Best Promotion for Accelerate* in the Middle East/Asia/Oceania - Best Loyalty Program in the Middle East/Asia/Oceania - Best Redemption Ability in the Middle East/Asia/Oceania - Best Redemption Ability in Europe/Africa **The Accelerate promotion provides unique, tailored offers for members to earn bonus points by completing stays.*   In addition, IHG’s loyalty program received second-place awards for Best Elite Hotel Program in both Europe/Africa as well as the Middle East/Asia/Oceania region.   **Christian Hempell, SVP Global Partnerships & Loyalty, commented:** “IHG® Rewards Club winning five Freddie Awards is especially meaningful to us because they are voted on by members, who are at the heart of what we do. This recognition confirms that we give members more of what they want in a loyalty program.  We continue innovating member benefits and experiences delivered by IHG Rewards Club at our brands in the global IHG portfolio.”   With 15 of the world’s leading hotel brands and more than 5,600 hotels around the world, IHG offers travelers and members of its global loyalty program, [IHG® Rewards Club](https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/gb/en/home), a hotel stay for all travel occasions.
