To help you understand the total cost of a trip or business expense, you can create an Activity. An Activity is a collection of connected bookings and cards created in the Visa Commercial Pay App. This allows Visa to combine the spend of all the connected cards and show you the total cost of your trip, event, project, or other business activity.
Activity Types:
-
Trip
-
Event

Project

New Hotel or Air bookings that are linked to an existing user email will automatically generate a new Trip related to the booking. You can also manually create and link activities to your cards in the App. Activities can be associated with more than one card. For example, you may have an e-commerce card to pay for a hotel trip, and also a digital wallet card for on-the-go payments. However, you can only have one activity associated with a card.
How are Trips created?
Hotel and Air Deployments are automatically linked when the traveler 's email address is present on the deployment. Visa Commercial Pay also uses the hotel location, flight destination, and travel dates to group the bookings appropriately. The city name of the hotel or destination airport is used as the name of the trip. If we cannot identify a city from the booking details, we will use the hotel or supplier name. Your bookings are assigned to a Trip within 30 seconds of being created.
