TK has a corporate club for companies with some interesting benefits including more baggage allowance and no change fees and a slight discount on fares.
Companies using it have to have spent over $30k in the prior year on travel. I tried signing up for it but found that since all of our travel is booked on OTAs and not through a traditional travel agent, TK wouldn't allow it. They said they needed a report from our travel agent showing the amounts from the prior year. I told them I could generate this myself with receipts from OTAs but they wouldn't go for it.
Anyone here have any ideas how to get around this? I don't mind booking with a travel agent in the future to get the benefits, but I'm not going to book with one all year this year just to get the corporate membership next year.
