Lodge card

A lodge card is a type of corporate credit card—whether physical or virtual—that businesses use solely to manage travel-related expenses like flights, hotels, and car rentals.

Unlike individual credit cards issued to travelers, a lodge card is usually held by an organization’s travel management company (TMC) or corporate travel department and used to settle multiple bookings in one account.

Lodge cards help simplify travel expense tracking by consolidating charges from multiple suppliers into a single, detailed invoice. They are used in corporate travel programs to monitor spending, reduce fraud risks, and simplify billing processes. For example, a business might use a lodge card to pay for all employee flights booked through a global distribution system (GDS).
