An immediate bank of eligible supplier card payments.
A travel business went live with TL Virtual Cards and immediately used Travel Ledger’s Expedia TAAP integration to pay both new and existing deferred payment bookings by virtual card. By doing so, the customer created an instant bank of eligible bookings capable of generating ongoing cashback opportunity — while keeping payment and booking data connected for easier reconciliation.

A travel business recently went live with TL Virtual Cards and quickly identified a practical way to unlock value from its Expedia TAAP bookings. Using Travel Ledger’s Expedia TAAP integration, the customer was able to apply TL Virtual Cards to both new and existing deferred payment bookings.
Both new and existing deferred payment bookings could be reviewed and paid through the integrated virtual card workflow where eligible.
The customer did not need to wait for future booking volume to build before seeing the benefit.
The result was a smarter supplier payment process with an immediate cashback opportunity.
