Concur feels like an odd company to acquire them, but maybe it's to streamline business travel?
Also -- I recently used Hipmunk (been using it for a few years now), but found that it didn't find deals that Chase's rewards portal found, which I thought was terribly odd (why would a rewards portal find better deals?).
- peteretep 10y agoConcur also acquired TripIt not so long ago
- calbear81 10y agoThe difference is Hipmunk is a metasearch site and relies on the connectivity it gets from travel agencies and airlines directly to power their price feeds and then you book with an agency/airline directly. Chase rewards portal is probably acting as a booking agent so may have access to prices/itineraries that are not found on metasearch sites.
- cemregr 10y agoMakes a lot of sense to me - where I work, we use Concur to book business travel. Concur's current UI for booking flights is complicated and makes it hard to pick optimal results. I think they could benefit from the team working to improve the feature.
