Business travel gets rewarded

Whether you’re a small, medium or multi-national sized company, when it comes to business travel finding value in your corporate travel process will always be key. So why is it then that most loyalty programs run by airlines and hotels reward just individual travellers for using their services?

In order to get maximum value from your corporate travel it would benefit companies to use a loyalty scheme that rewards both the traveller and the company. One such company offering this is BlueBiz.

Any businesses that often fly with KLM or Air France can save money by benefitting from the extra services their programme offers. As a member your company will earn Blue Credits which can be redeemed for free tickets and access to KLM Crown Lounges at Amsterdam Schipol Airport. Travelling employees of companies which are BlueBiz members can take one extra bag for free, a saving of €15 to €30 per flight, guaranteed seats and enjoy priority status. The Blue Credits a company earns for each flight depends on the destination and class of travel. One Blue Credit is worth one unit of your local currency. Thus, the more the employees of the companies fly, the more free flights the company will earn.

It is quick and easy to enrol your company in BlueBiz. Membership is free of charge, click here.

Earn double the benefits

The Flying Blue programme offers the ideal combination with BlueBiz by allowing you to earn Blue Credits for your company and Flying Blue Miles for yourself on the same flight.

As travel restrictions and costs increase, smart business travelers are looking towards loyalty programs to maximize their travel perks.

Loyalty schemes for business travellers are aimed to make their trip more efficient, more comfortable and save them money. With that in mind here are two more we would recommend:

Hilton Honors

Understanding the importance of the business travel market, the Hilton group has positioned many of their hotels close to airports and business districts – convenient for flight transfers and early morning presentations. The Hilton Honors reward scheme rewards guests for staying in their hotels, giving them the opportunity to upgrade to improved suites for free. Members with enough points may even be able to stay completely free in the future.

PartnerPlusBenefit

Headed up by Lufthansa, PartnerPlusBenefit is a rewards scheme which offers benefits for business travellers aboard ten of the world’s largest airlines including United Airlines, SWISS and more. Regular travellers can get access to a range of benefits including cut-price flights, free hotel stays and airport transfers. The ten airlines in the scheme cover hundreds and hundreds of routes across countries in all continents – serving millions of passengers every year.
