## The problem we solved

When people travel for work, they want to explore the city. But adding personal nights used to be a nightmare.

### The old way

"Hey, can I fly in on Saturday instead? I want to explore Austin before the offsite."

Employee → Organizer  
"Let me check with the hotel... they said you'd need to book separately at rack rate."

Organizer → Employee  
Different room. Higher rate. Hassle for everyone.

### With Workgrounds

### The new way

Employee selects extra nights in portal  
Takes 30 seconds  
Pays with personal card  
At the group rate  
Same room. Group rate. Zero hassle.

## One trip. Two billing sources. Zero confusion.

Work nights go on the company card. Personal nights go on the employee's card. Same room, same rate, crystal clear accounting.

Same room, full stay  
No awkward room switches mid-trip  
Group rate for personal nights  
Employees save money on their vacation add-on  
Organizers stay informed, not involved  
Approve requests without seeing payment details

**Work Trip**  
Mon - Fri  
$189/night  
Company pays  
**Personal Nights**  
Sat - Sun  
$189/night  
Same rate, you pay

Same Room, Full Stay  
No switching. No re-booking. No hassle.

## "I'm flying in Saturday to check out the BBQ scene."

With Personal Nights, that's not a request that creates work—it's a 30-second self-service action.
