Happy anniversary, Global Traveler. Over the past 12 years the magazine has become the leading voice for savvy, frequent travelers and a trusted source of travel information. Reaching the GT reader is essential to us, and it’s an honor that two of our Chase cards — The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card and the Marriott Rewards Credit Card — continue to be recognized in the GT Tested Reader Survey awards. Our partnership with the magazine is important, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.

As an international publication, it covers destinations around the globe, a perspective reflected in its annual reader survey awards. Keep up the excellent work!
