Make university business travel easier with TripLink
Purdue faculty and staff who travel on university business are encouraged to activate TripLink in Concur. TripLink connects participating airline, hotel and rental car loyalty accounts with a traveler’s Purdue business profile. It provides more flexibility when booking directly with participating travel providers while keeping eligible details connected to Concur.
How TripLink Helps
- Access Purdue rates and discounts. When a connected traveler selects business travel on a participating provider’s website or app, eligible university-negotiated rates and discounts are applied.
- Simplify expense reporting. Eligible reservation details and expenses flow into Concur Expense, reducing manual entry and helping travelers organize documentation.
- Keep loyalty benefits. Travelers may continue earning personal points, miles and status benefits through connected participating programs.
- Support traveler safety. Synced itinerary details give Purdue a Duty of Care record that can help the university identify and support travelers during an emergency.
- Use TripIt Pro at no additional cost. TripLink includes access to TripIt Pro, an optional app that organizes travel plans in one itinerary and provides real-time travel alerts.
Activate TripLink
- Sign in to Concur.
- Select TripLink from the main navigation menu.

- Click Add to select Available Programs, such as airline, hotel and rental car loyalty programs using the traveler’s existing membership numbers.
Travelers should continue to follow Purdue’s travel regulations and use university-preferred booking methods.
