Enjoy Engine perks for personal travel, too!

Existing Engine members can create a separate account to book discounted lodging for personal travel. If you sign up for an Engine personal account, you can: 

  • Access the same exclusive rates for personal travel that your company enjoys for business travel

  • Rack up Engine Rewards points on top of hotel loyalty points for double the savings on your personal travel

  • Keep separate, private itineraries that can only be viewed by you

  • Book without work-related restrictions, like business Travel Policies

  • Invite your friends and other businesses through our referral program! When a business signs up for Engine using your referral code, you’ll earn 1% of their annual bookings in Travel Credits on your personal account for the first year—hello, free trips! Plus, if you refer a friend with a personal email address, you’ll both get $25 in Travel Credits once they book. It’s a win-win!

  • Get 24/7 access to Member Support for your trips with no long hold times and no rerouting

Note: Some businesses do not allow personal accounts. If you do not see the option to add a personal account, contact your Admin.

How to Set Up


Step 1: Log into your existing Engine Account.

Step 2:  Click on your account menu at the top right corner of your dashboard and select Add Personal Account.

Step 3: Enter your personal email and current Engine password to register your account. You can also sign up using your Google account. 

Step 4: That’s it! You can now use your personal account to book travel unrelated to business.

When you need to switch back to your business account, simply click on your account menu at the top right corner of your dashboard and use the Switch to Business button— this allows you to seamlessly toggle between your accounts. You won't need to log in with separate credentials each time you switch.

How do I invite a friend to use Engine and earn Travel Credits?

Simply log into your personal account and head to the account menu in the top right corner. Click “Refer a Friend” and choose whether you’re referring a business or a friend. Copy your referral code and share it with them. They’ll use the code to request to join Engine, and once they start booking, you’ll start earning Travel Credits!
