Expedia Business Travel Resource

Expedia.com just announced the launch of a new Business Travel resource for unmanaged business travelers, which is those of you who book your own business travel.

“Travelers book with Expedia.com because we deliver them choice and control, with the best selection of travel options, booking tools and information that help them easily book the right trip at a great value,” said Paul Brown, President, Expedia North America. “We understand the unique needs of unmanaged business travelers and have developed a travel booking resource that speaks directly to their needs and helps them make confident travel decisions.”

The MileageManager tool streamlines travel points tracking, which is SUPER important to the independent business travelers. This tool enables business travelers to manage and track multiple travel rewards program totals in one place.

And Expedia’s ThankYou Rewards program allows travelers to earn rewards points across multiple travel providers, and providing total choice and flexibility in redeeming rewards. ThankYou Rewards can be used in conjuction with your current frequent flyer program, so you aren’t losing out on your miles.

MileManager is available for a free trial for 30 days. It is a whopping $4.95 per year thereafter.

Other benefits include:

ExpediaToGo – This service allows travelers to send their flight itinerary to their mobile devices for easy reference while on the road.

Special travel deals for business travelers – Expedia pulls deals on the most popular business travel routes and destinations into one place. These offers are consistently refreshed in order to continually bring added value to our business travel customers.

Tips and tools for travel arrangers – Expedia’s own professional travel arrangers compiled tips and advice on ways to more efficiently and effectively arrange travel for others.

Although I’ve read SO many bad things about the provider lately that I don’t know if I can recommend their services. Check here and here.
