Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Your Profile

Your Profile Information 

What is my profile?

Your profile contains personal identification needed to book services. It also allows you to store preferences for services and communications.

How do I access my profile?

To open the Profile page, click your name at the top of the screen and choose Profile from the drop-down menu.

Why is my profile important?

Using information in your profile reduces the time it takes you to arrange services, because you don't have to enter them each time you purchase a service.

Is filling out my profile required?

Some fields are required or will be entered automatically when you receive an account. However, areas such as preferences and notifications are optional.

What personal information should I keep in my profile?

Storing information such as your legal name, address, password, preferences and loyalty programmes allows us to efficiently book and manage services for you. Setting location and currency preferences allows our services to return the most relevant search results possible.

How do I add a credit card to my profile?

Click your name at the top of the screen and choose Profile from the drop-down menu to open your profile. In the personal and business information section, you can add or edit payment cards by clicking the Add or Edit button next to "Payment cards" (the Add button appears if you haven't entered a card yet). See Personal and Business Information for details.

Why should I keep financial information in my profile?

Storing a payment card allows easy checkout for most transactions on our site. See Personal and Business Information for details on adding payment cards.

Can other people access my profile?

If you grant delegate access to a co-worker, the co-worker will be able to see parts of your profile. Your date of birth is not viewable by anyone other than yourself and a company administrator. See Personal and Business Information for details about delegates.

Do I have to fill out my entire profile?

No, but the more information you enter, the better we can deliver customised services.

What professional information is stored in my profile?

Some of the information may be entered and updated for you by your organisation's HR department. This includes phone numbers, cost centre, division, corporate credit cards, etc. You are also able to enter additional information, such as your business travel preferences.
