## Why add loyalty programs?
23+
24+
Adding loyalty programs to your profile means you won’t have to manually enter your information each time you book. Rewards and miles will apply automatically at checkout or after your flight has occurred, saving time and ensuring you get credit for each trip.
25+
26+
You can add as many loyalty programs as you're enrolled in.
27+
28+
**Important:** Loyalty benefits will only apply if the name and gender in your travel profile match the name and gender on your loyalty accounts.

# FAQ

For hotel or car programs, select **Custom program** and manually enter the details. Custom options are currently only available for hotels and car rental providers.

85+
86+
## Why didn’t I earn points on my last booking?
87+
Check that your **loyalty name and gender** exactly match what’s listed on your travel profile. If they don’t match, loyalty benefits may not apply.

## Why add a secondary approver?
23+
24+
If you’re someone who approves travel for others, adding a backup approver ensures travel requests don’t stall when you’re out of office. If you're unavailable during the 24-hour post-booking review period, any assigned secondary approver can step in to approve or deny the request.
25+
26+
Note: This setting only applies to members responsible for approving travel. If you don’t approve travel for others, you can skip this step.

## Why assign a travel arranger?
23+
24+
Travel arrangers are team members who can book travel for others. Adding one (or several) to your profile is helpful if someone regularly handles your bookings, such as an executive assistant or office manager.

26+
Only users with the **Travel Arranger** role can be assigned as an arranger.

## Can I have more than one travel arranger?
49+
Yes! You can assign multiple arrangers—everyone listed will be able to book travel for you.

53+
54+
## Can arrangers see or approve my bookings?
55+
Travel arrangers can book on your behalf, but they don’t approve trips or access your personal bookings unless they created them.
