# Complete a hotel stay using Travel Invoicing

When you book a hotel using Travel Invoicing, your company pays for the stay through a central account.

Because hotels often require payment verification, Expensify works behind the scenes to confirm that the Travel Invoicing card is authorized for your booking.

Depending on the hotel, you may need to take an extra step before or during check-in.

---

## Who can complete a hotel stay using Travel Invoicing

- Members who booked a hotel using Expensify Travel
- Members in a Workspace with Travel Invoicing enabled

---

## What to expect after you book a hotel with Travel Invoicing

After your booking:

- Expensify contacts the hotel to confirm payment authorization
- The hotel may require a Credit Card Authorization (CCA) form
- Expensify prepares or verifies this on your behalf

You’ll be contacted if any action is required from you.

Structure violation: ### headings are not permitted. Per HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md Section 9: "Only ## used for all content sections (no ### or deeper)."

Consider restructuring so that ### If your hotel accepts Travel Invoicing and ### If your hotel does not accept Travel Invoicing (line 53) become ##-level headings. For example:

  • ## How to check in when your hotel accepts Travel Invoicing
  • ## How to check in when your hotel does not accept Travel Invoicing

This also makes them task-based and independently searchable.


You may receive a completed authorization form from Expensify.

At check-in:

1. Provide the authorization form if requested by the hotel
2. Confirm your identity with the hotel staff
3. Complete check-in as normal

In most cases, no payment is required from you.

Structure violation: ### headings are not allowed per HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md Section 9. Promote this to ## and make it task-based, e.g.:

## How to check in when your hotel does not accept Travel Invoicing


Some hotels do not accept virtual or centrally billed cards.

If this happens, Expensify will contact you before your stay.

You will need to:

1. Use a personal card or company card at check-in
2. Follow your company’s process for reimbursement or expense submission

Heading violation: This heading is not task-based and omits the feature name. Per HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md Section 2, all ## headings must start with an action verb or question word (How, What, Where, Who, Why, When) and include the feature name.

Suggested fix:
## What happens after your hotel stay when using Travel Invoicing


- If Travel Invoicing is accepted:
- The charge is billed to your company

- If you used your own card:
- You may need to submit an expense based on your company’s policy

# FAQ

## Why does Expensify contact the hotel?

Hotels often require manual confirmation that a card can be used by someone other than the cardholder. Expensify handles this process for you.

## What is a Credit Card Authorization (CCA) form?

A CCA form allows the hotel to charge a card that is not physically present at check-in. Expensify may provide this form to you if required.

## Will I always need to do something at check-in?

No. Many bookings are handled automatically. You’ll only be contacted if action is required.

## Can I use Travel Invoicing for all hotels?

Not always. Some hotels do not accept virtual or centrally billed cards, which may require you to use another payment method.
