    Very well suited for founders who are building companies in the US but are not US citizens. Works like a charm for start-ups who are looking for a cutting-edge product and not an outdated bank! Small-medium teams. Not well suited for those who are used to traditional banking and prefer in-person interaction or over the phone.

    A specific scenario where TripActions was well suited was when I needed to book a hotel stay in Cologne, Germany for multiple colleagues. The fact that they were registered users made coordinating their stays a seamless process. I have not had an occasion where TripActions was inappropriate to use.

    Pros
    Brex
    • Rewards - The rewards were the main reason for us switching. Our previous card provider did not have a good rewards program.
    • User Interface and experience - When a charge is recorded on the Brex card, users immediately receive a text notification asking them to send a picture of their receipt. Brex automatically attaches the receipts to the charge which has saved our users a significant amount of time.

    • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
    • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

    • Limited partnerships with all the major airlines, or if so, slowly just adding more airlines to their platform
    • Not a lot of information about the ratings of the hotels. I have stayed in hotels that I probably wouldn't have if their information was more up to date

    It has worked well for us for at least 5 years so I would anticipate us keeping Brex

    This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

    Usability

    The usability is pretty great. I love the UI / UX for uploading the Memo; at times, I do not even need to be inside the platform. I simply use Slack.

    Prompt and always extremely fast to respond. I also think the intuitiveness of their solution negates the need for much support

    - Easy bookings and quick expensing - Excellent chat support - Savings for the company since employees opt for rewards which require booking cheaper than average priced hotels - Rewards for employees - Easy to use customer interface - Great mobile applications for android and iOS - Ability to control payment methods for a different types of bookings like hotels or flights or car rentals.

    Divvy allows you to get hyper focused in on how much individuals are allowed to spend. Honestly it is comparable to Brex, but is more well suited for micromanaging organizational spend. Brex is good because I am able to give my employees limits that match our budgets and I don't care about micromanaging their spend.

    I like TripActions more because everything is on a mobile app that is super user-friendly. The customer service team is also world class-I genuinely have never felt so taken care of. More so, Concur Travel and Expense never rewarded me for traveling, while I made over 200 dollars in Amazon money just for doing my job.

    • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
    • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
