Lodge Cards

There has been a swing in recent years away from traditional 30 day accounts and credit cards towards lodge cards.  But what are the benefits?  Corporate Traveller investigates...

A travel-only lodge card provides a simplified method of paying for all business ravel related transactions.  It is basically another form of 30 day account but comes with several benefits to the traveller.   The lodge card is held by Corporate Traveller who, by arrangement, debits it for the costs of corporate travel transactions (such as airline tickets, accommodation and car hire) at the time a supplier’s invoice arrives.  The key benefit is that you will receive a single, consolidated statement with all you transactions for the billing cycle.

Corporate Traveller has contracted with AirPlus International who offer a simplified, flexible solution for day-to-day business travel payments.
