Travel Vendors
Employees should use USD’s preferred travel vendors for university business travel. Our preferred travel vendor, Global Point Travel Solutions, has access to the university’s negotiated travel rates with airlines, hotels and rental cars and facilitates locating and assisting travelers during an emergency.
All employees are encouraged to utilize the university’s online booking tool, Cliqbook, for business travel. Employees will have 24/7 access. Traveler profiles, including membership numbers for air, hotel, car rental, etc, will be stored and be available for easy reference in the future.
Cliqbook Hands-On Training sessions are available on a regular basis. For more information on the Cliqbook training or to enroll, contact usdtraining@sandiego.edu or call extension 6619.
For those reservations requiring agent assistance (multi-leg, groups, international) employees may contact Global Point Travel Solutions directly.

All properties offer meeting and banquet facilities. In addition, all USD guests are treated to a daily continental breakfast, a welcome beverage and a guaranteed suite upgrade for an additional nominal fee. To take advantage of the special rates, while helping to provide much needed scholarship support to USD students, please call toll free 800-345-9995 or visit www.bartellhotels.com/usdpartnership.

Under the majority of circumstances airline tickets shall be purchased directly through our preferred travel vendor; they have access to all negotiated rates with airlines, hotels and rental car agencies. To book using Cliqbook, the online booking tool please click here.
However, if travelers need to book directly with airlines they should always enter the university’s corporate account numbers so that the airlines can track USD’s volume. Using these codes strengthens USD’s future negotiating power with the airlines.
