For security reasons, cards need to be registered before they can be activated and used. To register a card, enter the unique registration code you received with the card.

Once your card is registered and activated, you'll be able to pre-authorise accommodation, meals and extras, as well as manage your account (or card if, you’re a cardholder) online. If you don’t have a unique registration code or you have any other problems registering and activating a card, please contact the Business Account Support Team on 0333 005 0504 or email premierinn.businessaccount@worldline.com

To log in to your Business Account, go to businessaccount.premierinn.com and enter your Business Account login name and password.

You can pre-authorise payments for food, drinks and optional extras, as well as accommodation for employees from your Business Account. This includes parking, Ultimate Wi-Fi and breakfast and dinner at our restaurants. When employees check in, the hotel will already have all their booking details and, where pre-authorised, will be able to provide a restaurant authorisation voucher up to the value of the payment you set.

Invoices are created at the beginning of every month and show transactions from the previous month. Payment will be taken by direct debit around 14 days later. You can view invoices from the last 36 months by logging in to your account and clicking “manage my account”.

If you’ve opted for twice monthly invoicing, you’ll also receive an invoice on the 15th of the month. Payment will then be taken by direct debit around 14 days later.

Invoices include transaction dates and times, which hotels were booked, the card number used when booking and what payments were made using the card. Guest names, purchase order numbers and your own customer references will also appear on invoices if the information is added when booking.

Invoices show the total amount spent with a comprehensive VAT breakdown and can be accessed or downloaded any time by logging in to your account and clicking “manage my account”.

When making your booking, you can enter a purchase order number and your own customer reference. Customer references can be used to refer to a cost centre number, booking reference etc. The name of the guest staying at the hotel will appear automatically on the invoice.

Transactions will be grouped together and a subtotal for each individual card will be given, so it may save time to set up one card per cost centre or department if you’re managing your account centrally. To analyse this information in more detail, you can set up your own personalised management information reports online.
