Hotel billback allows a business traveller to stay at a hotel without having to pay their hotel bill on departure. Instead, the hotel bills the traveller’s Travel Management Company (TMC) or corporation. Until now, hotel billback has followed a time-consuming manual process, leading to inevitable delays in reconciling client travel expenses. Recognising the need to address these challenges, Amadeus has partnered with Conferma to deliver a more reliable and efficient billback solution for business travel agencies and TMCs to offer their clients.
Amadeus Hotel Billback enables you to send a payment to a hotel, to ensure the end-traveller is not charged upon checkout, by providing a secure virtual card number as payment. Amadeus Hotel Billback works with your own virtual cards as well as cards provided by your corporate customers, and automates the process of generating a virtual card number, sending a payment confirmation to the hotel and then reconciling the payment when the guest checks-out.
This fully automated process simplifies the payment for your travellers’ accommodation, saving valuable time for business travel managers
