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.
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.
With an American Express Lodge Account, you have up to 55 days invoicing. With 10 billing cycle options available it makes it so simple to manage cash flow.
You can choose to provide worldwide cash access to card holders travelling on business, as part of your company programme.
Each card holder that travels will have access to Global Assist. This emergency hotline is to be used on any international or domestic business trip. It’s a phone service that will have you connected to an English-speaking medical or legal assistant at any time of the day.
The American Express Lodge cards also support contactless and Apple pay.
If you would like any more information or would like to get started with the American Express Lodge Account please get in touch today. You can either call us on 0203 805 4599 or email hello@yourcorporate.co.uk
Working within the entertainment sector to provide the ultimate in flexibility and service as well a proactive approach towards account management. In 2016 a trans-Atlantic artist management firm approached Your Travel Corporate to construct a travel plan for its UK and USA offices with an annual spend of £750,000.
Prior to working with Your Travel Corporate, the firm had contracted the services of another national travel agent. During the 12 months spent working with this agency, there were significant challenges in service delivery which led to multiple issues, lack of proactive account management and limited delivery of policy compliance.
After a problematic year, the firm took the decision to move away from their substandard agent and seek to engage a new agent – they chose Your Travel Corporate for several reasons;
– The ability to work with a dedicated account manager and director, ensuring a positive relationship and understand of needs was built from the outset.
– Our ability to understand and implement client objectives pro-actively.
– Our personal and bespoke approach to client service.
Results;
With our unique understanding of travel management and the importance of getting it right first time, we could map out a plan to move the firms travel management to Your Travel Corporate, with adequate and well thought out milestones, ensuring that our account management team worked effectively with the firms PA, EA and account team enabling the delivery of a full operational service within 3 months. A third quarter report shows a 19% saving on travel spend and we’re pleased to say that we’ve had extremely positive feedback from our client!
