Booking accomodation | Conference offers discount, but not available through Concur

[caminhathiago]

Hello!

I work at The University of Western Australia, and this July I'll be attending a conference which is offering discounts on accomodation (conferences official website). However, those discounts are not met when trying to book the same bedrooms at the same hotel to Concur.

How should I proceed to make sure to get the discount? I apologize if there's an obvious way -- this is my first time using concur.

Thank you in advance,

Thiago

@caminhathiago my recommendation is to contact the hotel directly to make the accommodation booking. Since this is a special discount offered for the conference, the discounted rates likely won't be published rates that would appear in Concur Travel.

Hi Kevin,

Does Concur plan to include a feature at some point that will allow for the loading of negotiated lodging rates that Concur customers can custom load for their employees that will be attending a conference and want to book the conference rate in Concur instead of booking outside of the OBT environment?

Cheers, Ed
