When I had to book flights, car rentals, and hotels at my last job, I did anything I could to just do it straight through the Delta or Hilton apps. Trying to use Concur was a nightmare. I could be done in a couple minutes and it isn't like I don't already have the corporate codes added to the respective apps. Saves the same amount of money and cuts out the shitty "travel agency". As a millennial, the more I can do on my phone in the least amount of time the better. There are always exceptions, but booking travel is something I would rather do on my phone.
The amount of bribe money that must be going to various leadership teams at large corporations to get them to pick Concur must be insane. It's such a terrible system, no one would willingly select it.
My employer will throw a fit if you don't use the shitty booking service.
All reimbursements go through Concur in the end anyway, so there's no escaping it. I'm not eating the $2,000 after being forced to socialize for an entire week.
This guy travels for business. I think the worst thing about having to go through apps is if you need to send a travel request it's nearly impossible on an app. Otherwise apps the way to go
