Unused tickets

Money your company already spent — and can still use

Unused tickets: an airline ticket next to coins, representing credits from canceled trips recovered before they expire

Every travel program builds up issued tickets that never fly. Without tracking, they simply expire — and the amount already paid quietly becomes a loss.

The platform monitors every unused ticket, calculates the available credit, shows the expiration date and suggests using it on the traveler's next booking.

Report for finance

Total credit balance by cost center, treated as an asset instead of a lost expense.

Savings with no negotiation needed

It's the cheapest savings in the program: using what's already been paid for.
