Corporate
Soft-Dollar Discount Programs
Soft-Dollar
programs are designed to reward companies that fly carriers often, but not
often enough to be able to negotiate exclusive “point-of-sale” percentage
off discounts.
Companies that have direct discount agreements with their primary airline
can also use these programs to get benefits from their second or third tier
carriers.
Best
of all, the cost of enrollment is FREE!
How
“Soft Dollar” Programs Work
Soft
Dollar Programs are based upon performance. Every dollar you spend on an
enrolled carrier’s program is automatically tracked and reported to you
quarterly. As soon as your airfare spending reaches the pre-determined level,
your company will be eligible for exciting rewards.
