A Guide to American Express Lodge Accounts

How having a travel account can make your life easier!

Paying for the company’s travel on invoice saves a lot of time and effort. However, Your Travel Corporate work closely with American Express to offer an alternative. An American Express Lodge Account offers a huge list of extra benefits to be had when managing business travel.

You can have multiple card holders on the same account, meaning each traveller can have their own card to book their business travel. This can be monitored from one central login, which makes it easier to keep track on individuals spends.

Rewards

You will acquire 1.5 Avios points for every £1 spent on the card. These points can then be used to pay for further business trips or upgrades. Your Travel Corporate can fully manage the Avios account for you and let you know when you have enough for a trip or an upgrade, making this process as easy as possible. You will earn 50% more On Business points (company points). Also, there is a 2,500 On Business point bonus when you spend £25,000 or more in a year. For more information on On Business and how it can benefit your company please get in touch.
