Frequently asked questions
- A lodge card is a business card specifically designed for business travel. It can be used for paying for plane and train tickets, as well as for accommodation. The card is lodged with a travel management provider, so all pre-trip expenses are charged to one card number. This helps simplify administration and streamline travel expense payments.
- Regular business cards can be used for all types of business expenses, including pre-trip and on-trip expenses. However, a lodge card is intended for pre-trip expenses only, and is typically handled by the finance team, travel manager, HR manager, or office manager, depending on the company size. A lodge card cannot be used for other purposes, as it is generally added directly to a travel management platform, and doesn’t allow other types of payments or other vendor categories.
