Idea

I think it would be a great idea if AirPlus could invoice on a daily basis and then have payment due on the same day every week, bi-weekly or monthly.

Key benefits would be:

  • lower credit lines needed for customers
  • for legal firms/consultancies quicker potential turnaround for onward billing

What do you think?

This way I’d like to call on every business traveler, travel-manager and travel agency to support carbon offsetting programs and to think twice, if every business trip is needed.

This is the result of a current survey of AirPlus Community members that was completed yesterday.
