If you book travel, manage the T&E budget, or work in HR, this is worth a quick look. Navan is giving new business customers $500 in rewards for personal travel, and the steps are simpler than most corporate offers.
Here's what you need to know about the offer.
What you actually get
Navan will add $500 in Navan Rewards to your account after your company finishes its first qualifying hotel booking. This $500 is for your personal use, not for a business trip.
You can use it for prepaid personal hotel stays on Navan's consumer travel platform. It's basically vacation money for something your company was likely to do anyway.
Who qualifies
- Your company has 200 employees or fewer
- You're signing up as a new Navan customer through their online sign-up portal, not through a referral link
- You're the first admin user on the account (only one person per company gets the reward)
- You're 18 or older, and your company isn't headquartered in India (that's Navan's current exclusion, not a residency requirement)
How to actually get the $500
- Sign up your company. Create a free Navan account. No credit card required to get started.
- Book a hotel stay through Navan's business platform. The booking must be at least $300 before taxes and fees, and it should take place within 30 days after your company finishes onboarding.
- Finish the hotel stay. The reward will be added to your account only after the trip is completed, not just booked.
- Collect your $500. Once the stay wraps, Navan drops the $500 in Rewards into your account, ready to redeem on your own personal hotel booking.
Why this is worth doing even if you weren't planning to switch
Most companies already book hotels somewhere for travel, whether that's a client visit, a conference, or an offsite.
If you're going to book that stay anyway, doing it through Navan turns a routine expense into $500 you can spend on your own trip.
After you sign up, you can see how Navan handles travel and expense management, offers real-time spend visibility, policy controls, and combines everything into one platform instead of several separate tools. There's no commitment beyond the first booking.
For finance and HR leaders, this is an easy way to try out a T&E platform before recommending a switch to your team. You get to test the tool and earn the reward at the same time.
One thing to watch
The $300 minimum is for the booking amount before taxes and fees, and the reward is given only after the stay is completed, not when it's booked. If your team books early but travels later, the $500 will be added after the trip, not before.
