There is potential for a new discount program (between 5 - 7%) for University employees booking travel with Northwest Airlines (NWA). To qualify for the discount program, CMU's air travel with NWA must first be tracked and reach a specific dollar level. This requirement will be accomplished by either booking through one of CMU’s preferred travel agencies (see: "http://www.purchasing.cmich.edu/Travel/agencies.html" ) OR by booking direct at www.nwa.com.
An employee must have a NWA Worldperk number to have their travel dollars be counted toward CMU's discount program. If you don't have a Worldperk number, you can establish one by visiting the NWA website. To register for this program, please contact Patti Jaksa in the Purchasing office at jaksa1pg@cmich.edu with your Worldperk number. Note: An employee will still earn/retain their miles through their Worldperk number for their business and personal air travel.
When booking on-line directly with NWA, use your Worldperk number and click "business" travel. When booking through one of CMU's preferred travel agencies, use your NWA Worldperk number and identify yourself as an employee at CMU.
Any questions, please contact Judy Lannen at Ext. 3048.
