With all the recent changes in the world, everything seems to be getting more complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

But with hotel billing we’ve changed the way we’re doing things, to the make your life easier…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We asked you what changes you would like to see in the way we book and bill hotels and we listened. We’ve implemented the following changes below to help you budget better internally and recieve invoices quicker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n

All your hotel bookings will now be charged at the time of booking using a hotel billback for those clients who opt in. This will give you instant visibility on spend to date in a certain month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By being charged upfront not only will you have greater visibility but there will no longer be reconciliation delays between us and your hotel. This means a faster, better service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
