An international corporation can use TripGift® to provide digital travel value towards eligible flights, temporary accommodation and ground transportation during an employee’s relocation. For an allowance of €5,000, $10,000 or more, contact TripGift’s business to business solutions team to confirm the proposed value, supported issuance structure, currency, validity and booking requirements before committing to recipients.
TripGift supports 117 transactional currencies and travel redemption across 180+ countries. Employers can standardise their allowance policy while selecting a supported issuance currency appropriate for each recipient. This approach provides a defined travel contribution; the bookings available depend on travel dates, destination, prices and supplier availability.
How should a company structure a cross border mobility allowance?
Define the benefit as a relocation travel allowance, with a clear budget and eligible uses. A practical programme design is:
Set the entitlement. Establish the allowance for each employee grade or transfer type, such as a €10,000 reference budget.
Choose the issuance currency. Agree a supported currency for each recipient and document how any reference budget is translated into that currency.
Confirm fulfilment. Agree the available denominations, delivery method, validity and programme terms with TripGift.
Check the journey. Confirm that the required routes, accommodation dates and ground transport can be booked before presenting the benefit as suitable for a specific relocation.
Communicate the rules. Explain eligible use, booking conditions and how employees should handle expenses outside the allowance.
Simplified billing. One invoice, multi-currency travel value issuance, self-serve travel fulfilment for global mobility.
This gives HR, global mobility and procurement teams a consistent framework while allowing employees to choose suitable eligible travel. This is also suitable for global mobility for interview candidates based in a different city or country.
Can a company issue a single €15,000 TripGift gift card?
High value corporate requirements should be discussed with TripGift’s business to business solutions team. TripGift’s published direct purchase guidance currently specifies a maximum of €10,000, £10,000 or $10,000 per card, or the applicable local equivalent. A €15,000 relocation budget should therefore not be described as a standard self service single card purchase.
Confirm whether the proposed allowance can be supplied through an approved corporate B2B arrangement, including how the issued value can be applied to the intended bookings.
Can employees combine flights and accommodation?
TripGift offers flight and accommodation booking options, including dynamic packages where available. These can support the travel and temporary accommodation component of an international transfer.
Dynamic packaging combines eligible travel components available for a search. It does not by itself coordinate an entire relocation, reserve accommodation in advance or guarantee a particular airline, hotel category or itinerary.
Does TripGift support multi city relocation journeys?
Employees should check each required route and booking option before making arrangements. TripGift’s published flight guidance states that multi leg flight itinerary booking is available. Employers should therefore confirm the feasibility of separate journeys rather than promise one integrated multi city booking.
Where a transfer involves an orientation visit, a relocation flight and subsequent journeys, assess each booking requirement separately.
Can the allowance cover long term accommodation?
Temporary hotel accommodation may be suitable where the required property, dates and duration are available through TripGift. Confirm extended stay requirements before issuing an allowance intended to cover several weeks or months.
A travel allowance should not be presented as a residential tenancy, guaranteed serviced apartment placement or comprehensive relocation housing service.
Does local currency issuance guarantee equal purchasing power or eliminate foreign exchange costs?
No. Issuing travel value in a supported currency gives the recipient a defined balance in that currency. It does not guarantee an identical quantity of flights, hotel nights or transport in different countries.
Employers seeking comparable benefits should set destination budgets using expected travel and accommodation costs, rather than rely solely on exchange rate equivalents. TripGift’s published pricing guidance explains that displayed booking prices include service, technology, support and currency conversion costs. The employer’s payment provider may also apply its own currency conversion charges.
A €5,000 reference allowance is therefore a budget entitlement, not a guarantee of equivalent purchasing power worldwide.
Is a TripGift relocation travel allowance the same as cash?
No. TripGift credit is stored travel value for eligible redemption within the TripGift ecosystem. It cannot be withdrawn as cash or transferred to external booking websites.
Employers should separately define how they will cover deposits, removals, visas and other relocation expenses that fall outside eligible platform bookings.
How can a business discuss a relocation allowance programme?
Contact TripGift through its business solutions page with the number of transferring employees, proposed allowance, issuance currencies, destination countries, anticipated routes, accommodation duration and launch date. Ask the team to confirm suitability and the corporate fulfilment arrangement before launch.
