Travel & Affinity Programs

Whether you’re traveling for college business or personal reasons, use the Hope College discount and affinity numbers in your reservations to save money for yourself and to benefit the college.

Booking a Flight

American Airlines

Register for an American Airlines account using your 1hope email address. (You’ll need to be an AAdvantage® member to register.) This will link your personal and business profiles, allowing you to manage both with ease in one place.

Registered travelers can book business travel online in a few easy steps: Visit aa.com or the American app and log in to your personal AAdvantage® account. Choose ‘Business’ from the ‘Travel type’ dropdown menu. Your company name will appear. Search and choose flights as with any other trip. 

Delta

Join Delta SkyMiles. When you book a Delta flight, there will be a place to enter Hope’s new SkyBonus number:

US0143973

(This earns Hope points in addition to the points you’ll earn yourself)

Southwest

Visit SWABiz.com and enter Hope’s Company ID:

99123566

You can enroll in Rapid Rewards here, or if you already have Rapid Rewards attach your Southwest account to Hope, which makes booking easier — and Hope accumulates points that we can use for other travelers to save money.

Renting a Car

Your rental may be eligible for tax exemption in certain states. Check with the travel coordinator for more information!

Avis

Hope has negotiated rates with Avis that usually beat any rates offered by the other car rental companies. Hope earns free days for every 15 days rented. Contact the Travel Coordinator to see if there are any free days available to use for your rental. 

To set up a personal Avis Preferred account, visit avis.com/preferred

Use Hope’s AWD number when signing up:

X568558

This will attach it to the Hope discount number and will also allow family members or fellow employees to drive vehicle if necessary without adding an additional driver fee. It also helps speed up the checkin process and you shouldn’t have to wait in line at the counter.

For Hope-related business travel:

  • Add your Hope College credit card to this as your primary credit card!
  • If you do not have a Hope credit card but would like Hope to pay for your rental, please contact the travel coordinator to set up direct billing and sign you up for a Hope-preferred Avis number, which will help speed up the process when you arrive.

Hertz

Hope’s Hertz discount number:

106479

To save time, sign up for Hertz Gold.

When signing up and renting, use Hope’s CDP number:

106479

Enterprise

Use Hope’s Enterprise number:

59W2254 

Hope has negotiated rates with Enterprise for cars. When you use this number it will give you a negotiated rate which is often less expensive than the regular rate. Sign-up for Enterprise Plus — there is no connection to the Hope discount number, but this is a way to earn points for free travel. You may still use the discount code when renting.

Budget

Sign up for Budget Fastbreak. Use Hope’s BCD number when signing up:

S423344

This attaches to Hope’s account and allows us to accumulate credit for rentals.

Reserving a Hotel

Your stay may be eligible for tax exemption in certain states. Check with the travel coordinator for more information!

Hilton Honors

When traveling for business, Hope employees can receive a 7% discount rate where available. You will have to sign up for the Hilton Honors program using your hope.edu email address, but it will be attached to your personal Hilton Rewards account.
