Many of us travel for both personal and business reasons, and sometimes, it's hard to keep them separate. And with the continued trend toward blended travel, where trips have both leisure and business purposes, this is even more challenging. The last thing you want is to charge a personal expense to a business card (or vice versa).
That's what makes Uber for Business so powerful.
With a business profile, you can unlock added perks when traveling for work and easily separate personal and business trips or meals with a simple toggle. You'll still be able to enjoy the benefits you already get when riding or eating with Uber on vacation.
Here's what you may be missing out on by not having a business profile with Uber.
Time is of the essence for many work trips. A training session can run late, putting you at risk of missing a flight, while a stormy morning can make it harder to get from your hotel to that off-site meeting location.
Thankfully, Uber for Business offers valuable perks to make business travel less stressful.
The first is Uber Business Comfort. This ride option is exclusive to eligible business travelers (those with a business profile linked to a company that's opted into Uber for Business). When available, Uber Business Comfort offers priority pickup in select cities (excludes airports; faster pickup not guaranteed), newer cars, extra time to meet your driver and even customizable preferences like ideal temperature in the vehicle.
You can also utilize Uber Reserve when traveling for work. This option allows you to preschedule your rides in select markets up to 90 days in advance and know the price upfront (subject to driver confirmation). Uber Reserve's technology helps ensure you're picked up for a stress-free ride, including extra wait time so you can double check you've got everything before hitting the road.
Using Uber Reserve in conjunction with Uber Business Comfort in select locations ensures that you get premium support and a comfortable ride on your work trips.
Finally, Uber One is introducing 6% Uber Cash on eligible rides for members (available in select markets and subject to eligibility criteria; learn more here). This allows you to earn Uber Cash while traveling for work — which you can then spend on personal rides and Uber Eats orders when you're back home.
When you add a business profile to your personal Uber account, there's no complicated switchover or need to log out of one and into the other. Instead, you can toggle between profiles while using the app for personal trips and company purposes.
Once your accounts are linked, you'll see the option to easily switch back and forth when you go to request a ride or order a meal.
However, it isn't just about separating your

You might be looking to redeem Hilton Honors points for an unforgettable stay at one of the best Hilton hotels in the world or one of the best Hilton hotels on the beach.
One of the biggest mistakes I see people making when they begin their points and miles journey is to rapidly open tons of travel rewards credit cards without any plan for what they're going to do with them. Some cards might entice you with a large welcome bonus, and others will be long-term keepers, but it's possible that after 11 months of using the card and experiencing its benefits, you might change your mind about it and cancel the credit card before the annual fee is due.
Nothing baffles me more when traveling than watching people at the airport struggle with their shoes in the security line.

With its crystal clear lake and rugged snow-capped mountains, Lucerne has long been one of Switzerland’s most popular destinations for an alpine retreat. Europe’s upper strata were drawn to the alps as early as the 1760s, for mountaineering and hiking. But Lucerne really took off in the 19th century, following the opening of the first hotel in 1835, the expansion of alpine health resorts and Queen Victoria visiting the town for a long summer retreat in 1868 as she mourned the death of her husband.
