Are you "gifting" or "collecting/transferring" travel credits, related to COVID travel bans?
We are consolidating all ticket credits, including guests, to one account (UATP) for each airline.
We are doing the same as Laney. We have had many people ask to 'give' the credits to graduating seniors when a ticket was cancelled in their name, but we are finding ways to utilize that credit either through the UATP process or name change waivers. The airlines have been very good about working with us on all our cancelled tickets.
We are considering giving students access to our booking tool and agency. Our program is mandated, but the student travel on behalf of the university is all over the place. The provost would like a solution to this issue. Does your university allow this, can you share your procedures with me and how you handle paying for the travel? We do not have a ghost card or single payment solution, we issue corporate cards to our employees who travel.
Has anyone explored sponsored guest travel feature on Concur? Our site has a virtual card on the back end for travel bookings.
We have not. I would be very interested in hearing more about what you are doing
Update: After reviewing the Sponsored travel feature in Concur we decided not to implement this function. We have few guest/student credits that we will handle directly with our TMC and the employee that booked the travel on behalf of the guest/student.
