Very stupid question... I don’t travel a lot but starting to travel monthly. How do I get miles? I have to book through our corporate website. So no miles on cc... is it just through the airlines?

Sign up for the rewards programs through airlines and hotels. Store your membership information in your corporate system. It should automatically recognize and credit you with miles and nights.

Sometimes delta offers accelerated status to consultants. Seems to go firm by firm but it was something like 8 one way trips to hit silver and 12 for gold

Sign up for the frequent flyer program on the airline you fly, then when you book your tickets you should have an option somewhere in your system to enter your membership ID. So it will track your flights and collect points

Create a loyalty membership with the airline of your choice and make sure the loyalty number is in your profile on your corporate booking website. If you have the option of paying with a non-Corporate credit card, then you can use one that gives you airline/hotel point too. You can also set up a loyalty membership with hotels and earn points too.

Sign up for the frequent flyer program for the airline you plan on traveling with and you’ll get a frequent flyer number. Enter that number into your travel profile on the CWT site, and you’ll start accumulating them.

What the other fishes said makes most sense. We book most our flights using a wbs code anyway so you won’t be using your CC for that.

Acn also has fast track programs for airline status ( e.g silver/ gold / plat for delta etc.). Enroll in the one that suits your needs.

Thank you!
