Do you need a quick way to make low-dollar online purchases? Would you rather not have to submit an expense report for low-dollar and/or recurring expenses and then wait for reimbursement? If so, then consider these options.
The university offers three distinct card programs to facilitate differing purchasing needs, which are meant to expedite the ordering and payment process while also being more economical for the university:
- The Procurement Card (Pcard) streamlines low-value purchases under $10k for goods and services that are not travel or hospitality-related. It allows you to quickly acquire what you need and reduces paperwork and processing. The Procurement Card policy outlines the responsibilities of cardholders, ensuring accountability while allowing flexibility. The university’s Pcard provider is Visa.
- The Travel Card is used for travel-related expenses, including airfare, accommodation and meals. The reimbursement process through SAP Concur is the same as if you were to use your personal credit card, but it eliminates the need to use your personal credit card for university-related expenses. The Travel Card provider is American Express (Amex).
- The eCard is available for on-campus, in-person purchases where campus cards are accepted. You can use the eCard at Dining Services retail locations, Bridgehead, Parking Services, ITS Hardware Services and the Bookstore. It has a low credit limit and carries less liability for the university.
