Benefits of Being a UATP Merchant

• Industry Product: Supporting the airline-owned Universal Air Travel Plan helps reduce the industry cost of accepting credit cards with their consistently increasing commission rates charged to airlines.
• Lower Cost: Merchants pay a commission rate of 1.65% on all UATP transactions, instead of the higher rates charged by the other T&E cards.
• Pay Commissions Only on Segments You Fly: When a ticket is issued on your ticket stock and includes segments on another carrier, you pay 1.65% only on the segments you fly. With other cards, when the ticket is written on your ticket stock, you pay commission on the entire ticket value.
• No Cost To You: Merchants pay no membership fees or annual dues for membership in the Universal Air Travel Plan.
• More Corporate Business: Merchants are eligible to earn revenues from corporations around the world that use the UATP card exclusively to pay for their business airline and rail travel.
• Better Customer Service: UATP is a global product used by corporations around the world. You can provide better service to your corporate clients by accepting the UATP card when it is their preferred form of payment.
• Insurance: For a low annual fee, employees of Merchant airlines can take advantage of UATP's Insider's Club insurance policy covering travel on industry-free, reduced-rate of full-fare tickets on scheduled airlines, Amtrak rail, or cruise lines.
