Background
Paul was traveling from Dublin to London for a sales event. Kota’s travel policy provides employees a fixed per-night accommodation budget. However, as hotel prices in London continue to soar, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to get good value for money. Paul met Roamr at an event in Dublin where he discovered there is a way to get paid to stay with friends when travelling for work. He was eager to try Roamr for his London trip.
Why Roamr?
Roamr offered Paul an innovative solution where he could stay with his London based friend, Liam and they could both earn some extra cash. Paul got to redistribute his accommodation budget in a way that was financially rewarding for him and Liam while also saving his company money too! A win-win-win.
How does it work?
”There was no friction. Once the account was set up, it was done.”
Instead of browsing hotel booking sites for options within his budget, Paul created his Roamr account and invited Liam to host him. Once Liam accepted, the booking was made and Paul paid with his company card.Here's how the savings and rewards break down:
- Paul: Earns 35% for opting for Roamr
- His Friend: Earns 35% for hosting
- Kota (Paul’s company): Saves 20% on accommodation costs
The result? By choosing Roamr Paul saved Kota 20% on hotel spend AND got the opportunity to unwind in a comfortable, familiar setting with friends, avoiding the isolation often felt when staying alone in a mediocre hotel room.

"I couldn’t believe how straightforward it was. Everything was set up and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. To be honest, it was even easier than hotel bookings!"
Other Benefits
Initially, Paul was hesitant about how his manager would react to his request. However, once he realised the company could save 20% on accommodation, they were all for it. The cost savings were a huge win, making this an easy choice.
"My manager was thrilled. The 20% savings were a great incentive so he approved it without hesitation, it also reflected well on the finance team"
Experience
The process is quick and easy. Paul simply signed up here to create his trip and invite Liam. Once the trip was complete, they both received a secure Stripe link to get their reward paid straight to their bank account within a few days.

"Next time I’m traveling somewhere where I’ve got friends, I’ll definitely choose Roamr. Why not stay with my friends and get paid for it? It's a no-brainer!"
