One booking. £788 cashback.
How one Travel Ledger customer discovered the value of travel virtual cards with their very first cruise supplier payment.
Actual result from this customer. Individual results will vary.
A £65,000+ cruise booking, ready for a smarter payment.
An existing Travel Ledger customer recently enabled TL Virtual Cards in their dashboard. Almost immediately, they had a cruise booking worth more than £65,000 due for payment. The cruise line accepted card payments, creating an ideal opportunity to use TL Virtual Cards for the first time.
Rather than treating the supplier payment purely as a cost of doing business, the customer used a TL Virtual Card to make the payment through their existing Travel Ledger environment.
One supplier payment generated £788 cashback.
That single payment generated £788 in cashback. There was no need to create additional sales or change the underlying booking. The opportunity came from a supplier payment the customer already needed to make.
Generated from one existing £65,000+ cruise booking — credited directly to the customer’s Travel Ledger account a few weeks later.
- No new sales needed
The value came from a supplier payment already due — not from additional booking volume.
- Paid directly to Travel Ledger
The £788 cashback was credited directly into the customer’s Travel Ledger account.
- Booking unchanged
The underlying booking stayed exactly the same — only the payment route changed.
Every eligible booking is now a potential opportunity.
After seeing the value generated from their first TL Virtual Card payment, the customer is now actively reviewing other supplier payments to identify where card acceptance could create further cashback opportunities.
The shift is simple: rather than seeing supplier payments as purely administrative, they are now looking at each eligible booking as a potential opportunity to generate additional value.
