Small Business Travel Rewards

How it Works

Business travel reward programs are designed to reward a business for its loyalty in choosing to fly with that particular airline. For a business, this means that your business can earn points for travel awards while you and your employees also earn miles every time you travel. This benefit is at no additional cost to your business but requires you to:

Become a Member of a particular airline's business loyalty program by signing up for the Travel Reward Program e.g., Business ExtrAA using your Airline membership number; e.g., American Airlines AAdvantage®.
Designate a company representative to manage the Travel Reward Program; e.g., Travel Manager(s) , in order to:

Review your company's Account Summary online
Redeem points online for what you want when you want it
Update account information online
Sign up for promotions online

SIGN UP IN 1 OR 2 EASY STEPS
1. Obtain a Frequent Flyer Number (Skip to #2 if you already have a Frequent Flyer No.)
2. Sign-Up for Travel Rewards Program - Enter Referral Code BUZ500 to earn 500 bonus points which is 25% of the way towards your first earned ticket!
