It’s that time of the year, and we are excited to announce that voting is officially open for the 2023 TPG Awards!
This is the sixth annual awards event where we honor the best in travel, credit cards and loyalty programs. And with several years of experience under our belts, we’re changing things up a bit to make the awards better than ever.
To get the most complete picture of the best travel brands and services helping travelers this year, TPG readers can now rank up to three of their top picks in each category. So, if you’re on the fence between a few different options, you can rank them one, two and three instead of choosing just one.

Additionally, along with some stand-by favorite categories, such as the ‘Best travel rewards credit card’ of the year, there are some fun new categories.
New categories include “Best destination in a TV show or film” and “Best travel power couple,” where two different credit cards or services work together to unlock some cool perks or time-saving benefits.
We’ll combine TPG readers’ input, TPG editorial top picks and an expert panel’s picks into one equation with equal weight to determine our TPG award winners for the year.
While everyone can only vote once, TPG readers who subscribe to our free daily newsletter will get their votes counted double.
And because one of our core missions is to use travel as a force for good, for each vote we receive, we’ll donate $1 to our charity partner, Make-A-Wish, to unlock the travel dreams of children experiencing a critical illness, up to a max of $25,000.
Voting will be open all month, so make your voice heard by Sept. 30. Winners will be announced at the TPG Awards in New York City on Nov. 6.
Cast your vote for the 2023 TPG Awards.
