Travelocity Business(SM) today announced two new enhancements aimed
at increasing the productivity of the business travelers who use
its services. First, Travelocity Business will start issuing
individual e-mail statements to business travelers that clearly
outline all of their recent travel and transaction activity. The
reports are designed to aid travelers during the expense reporting
process, and reduce the number of follow-up calls needed to get the
details from an agent or corporate travel manager. In addition,
every traveler who refunds a ticket through Travelocity Business
will now receive an immediate e-mail confirmation that the refund
took place, to prevent worrying and waiting for the adjustment to
appear on the next monthly credit card statement. "The mindset of
corporate travel agencies has been to collect travel data and share
it at the managerial or procurement level," said Joel Bailey,
director of Product Marketing at Travelocity Business. "Now, we're
finding ways to also share relevant data with the individual
travelers, so that they stay more informed and spend less time
during their work day searching for the travel information they
need." The individual traveler statements will be available for
issue either once or twice a month, depending on dates set by the
corporation that can be adjusted to reflect corporate card billing
cycles. Some of the data that will be shared on the statements
include: -- Trip history - Outlines all activity associated with
each trip taken by the traveler. Includes changes, cancellations,
refunds, and any service fees associated with the corresponding
trip. Each service fee will be assigned a unique number that also
appears on the traveler's credit card statement to allow for easier
reconciliation and reporting. -- Unused tickets - Lists all unused
tickets available for use to help the traveler recoup their value.
-- Expiration alerts - Proactively notifies the traveler before
credit cards expire. About Travelocity Business Travelocity
