Two payment methods
 

Hi,

Apologies if there is already a thread on this, but I searched and didn't find anything. Does anyone know if there is a way to pay for a reservation using two payment methods (i.e. splitting it on two credit cards)? I don't see a way on the website but was wondering if a) I missed it or b) you can call and do it. TIA!

When a company pays for my ticket, and I spend extra on my own dime: I go into My Account - Manage Gift Registry - Send Gift Registry Announcements Send e-mails to family and friends to let them know about your gift registry. I then enter my email address. When I get the email, I gift myself however much I want. It can take several hours or even a day(?) for the funds to be available in your travel bank.

This way you can use money from your travel bank and from a credit card. Just note that you cannot do this and also pay using paypal.

I've never tried the gift registry/travelbank route, but I do use the gift certificate route on occasion to pay with two credit cards:

IME the gift certificate shows up in the recipient's email (or your email if you are "gifting" yourself) within a few minutes.

i'm planning a bachelor party now, and travelbank has been awesome for collecting money. i've gotten everything instantly.

I've purchased a gift certificate using one credit card, applied that gift certificate as the first method of payment, then paid the balance with the second credit card.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! Very helpful!

I have tried this couple of years ago. They would take 2 credit cards towards the same ticket as long as the credit cards have the same billing address.
