Redesigned hotel search now available
Travel June 30, 2026
The redesigned Stays search experience is now live for all travelers on web and mobile. The new layout is built to help you search in a more intentional and personalized way — with better filter visibility and a more visual presentation that makes it easier to compare properties.
Retry failed expense report files in the export log
Expense June 29, 2026
Financial reviewers and account admins can now retry failed expense report exports directly in the export log — no support ticket required. A new Generated files column shows at a glance how many files in an export were successfully delivered. Clicking through shows each file's individual status and, for any failure, an error message explaining what went wrong. Click Retry to reprocess only the failed files; each export allows up to 3 attempts, which covers most temporary issues like a brief network outage.
Cancel a change request while it's awaiting approval
Travel June 26, 2026
You can now cancel a pending trip change request yourself, without contacting support. If you've submitted a request to modify a booking — a date change, a route change — and it's still waiting for an approver's sign-off, a "Cancel change request" button now appears in the trip itinerary side panel. Cancelling closes the request immediately and resolves any associated support ticket automatically, so you're never stuck waiting for someone else to act.

Assign a travel approval process directly to a company
Travel June 16, 2026
If your organization has multiple legal entities, you can now assign a travel approval process directly to a company, so every employee in that company is automatically covered — including new joiners, who get the right process from day one. Previously, you had to assign every new user by hand; miss one and they fell back to the wrong policy, creating compliance gaps and unnecessary admin work. Many Perk accounts span multiple companies, so this change removes a significant source of manual overhead. You can see which approval process applies to you in your profile, the people page, and on your trip approval details.
Pick your seat on UK trains
Travel June 15, 2026
When booking UK train tickets on Perk, you can now view an interactive seat map and choose your exact seat before confirming. This brings Perk in line with the experience you get booking directly on an operator's website — and is particularly useful if you and your colleagues want to sit nearby. Seat maps are available for 8 carriers: Avanti West Coast, Grand Central, CrossCountry, Hull Trains, LNER, Lumo, TransPennine Express (long-distance services), and Great Western Railway (services to/from London). Together these carriers cover more than half of all UK rail bookings made through Perk. If you'd rather specify a direction of travel than pick a specific seat, the classic seat preference option is still available.
Two-step approval data now reflected across reports
Travel June 10, 2026
If your account uses advanced approval rules involving two approvers for travel approvals, three reports have been updated to accurately reflect multi-approver workflows. Custom report downloads and Customized reporting now show all approvers on a request as a comma-separated list — not just the first approver. The Time to Approve by Approver tile in Travel insights now correctly attributes approval time to each individual reviewer in sequential two-step flows, so you can accurately track workload and performance across all approvers.
Apply or skip a flight credit at checkout
Travel June 9, 2026
When Perk detects that you have a flight voucher with an airline you're booking, you now see it at checkout with a clear choice: apply the credit or skip it. Skipping confirms your booking instantly — no surprise wait, and the credit stays available for your next trip. Applying enters the manual booking queue, but now with clear copy explaining what to expect rather than a silent hold.
Previously, any detected voucher — even a small one — automatically put your booking into a manual agent queue with no warning and no way to opt out. For time-sensitive bookings, that meant risking losing your seat while waiting. This change puts you in control of when your credits get used.
DB fares now show "What's included?"
Travel June 9, 2026
When browsing Deutsche Bahn fares on Perk, you can now see which fares include a City-Ticket or lounge access. City-Ticket gives you free local public transport — buses, trams, and the subway — to and from your departure and destination stations on the day of travel. Previously this information wasn't visible in Perk, leading some customers to book directly on DB.de to confirm what their fare included.
New payment method option at checkout
Travel June 8, 2026
You can now add a new payment method on the spot if you reach checkout without a valid card on file. Previously, a missing or expired payment profile meant abandoning the booking, navigating to the wallet to add a card, and starting over — now it's all handled inline without leaving checkout. If you're an account admin, you can also add a company payment profile from the same flow. This means fewer dropped bookings due to payment blockers and a smoother experience for anyone who hasn't yet set up a payment profile.
FlexiTravel credit balance is now visible for travelers and admins
Travel June 5, 2026
Travelers can now see their FlexiTravel credit balance directly in their wallet (Profile > Wallet, Personal payment cards). Account admins can view the balance for every personal payment profile in Settings > Account > Payment profiles. Both roles can also drill into a full transaction history per profile.
Previously, travelers had no visibility into credits issued to their profile, and admins had to navigate a complex reporting view or contact their account manager to track balances.
Expense reimbursements: Perk pays your employees directly, no separate payment process needed
Expense June 2, 2026
Perk can now pay employees directly for approved out-of-pocket expenses — no separate payroll run, payment file upload, or manual bank transfer required. When an employee submits a day-to-day out-of-pocket expenses(meals, taxis, and incidentals), mileage, and per diem, it goes through your existing approval flow. Once a financial reviewer approves and schedules the reimbursement, Perk pays the employee to their bank account on your company's behalf and sends you a reimbursement statement to settle. Employees can track their reimbursement status — from scheduled through to paid — directly in Perk.
Reimbursements are available for companies based in the UK, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, and Ireland. Expenses can be submitted in any currency — Perk converts automatically to GBP or EUR for payout.
