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 should have reached 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 directly from NWA's website at www.nwa.com.
An employee must have a NWA Worldperk number to have their travel dollars counted towards 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 ( jaksa1pg@cmich.edu ) from Contracting and Purchasing Services, 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 from NWA's website, 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Judy Lannen at Ext. 3048.
