It's great to be back blogging again. I apologize to everyone that I've been on "vacation" from blogging for quite a bit of time now. I just felt that I had to take a "break" for a while.I recently had to book a trip for two staff members. The problem was that I had to book both people on one person's credit card. This part was easy, but when it came time to add the "Frequent Flyer Program" number into the extra person's profile, I hit a small snag.
Now, please note that I do not endorse this in any way, shape or form, but you can try this at your own risk.
I was not able to add the "Frequent Flyer Program" number to the flight, but was able to add it to the hotel. I contacted the travel website that I was booking through and they explained that only the person with the "Frequent Flyer Program" can add their number. But strangely, I was able to add it to the hotel portion.
You can try this, if you wish, but remember that you are doing this at your own risk.

Welcome back to the blog world. Good tip. I will be making lots of travel arrangements in my new job so this will come in handy.
Hi Patricia,
Thanks for the comment. Nice to see that this is helping you out.

Another work around here is to purchase both tickets separately. Book the first ticket. Pay with the credit card. Go back to the website and book the 2nd ticket, using the same credit card to pay, using the other guy's credit card, but the 2nd guy's frequent flyer number. Most websites will allow you to book under one name and use a credit card under another name.
I used to make extensive travel arrangements in a previous job, and this is how I'd manage it.
If you go through a travel agent, they can usually manage this for you.
Hi Jodith,
Thanks for the comment. I didn't think of this, but a great idea! I will definitely try this next time.
