The Diners Club Card is the State Travel Card. All University employees who travel on business outside of Colorado once a year, or within the State twice a year, must apply for the card and must use it for all travel-related expenses, wherever it is accepted. By designating a State travel card, Colorado's Statewide Travel Management Program is able to track business travel activities and to negotiate favorable price agreements with airlines, car rental agencies, hotels, and the like. Diners Club also provides a convenient and cost-effective method of obtaining advances, through the ATM network. All expenses incurred while the individual is in travel status, wherever it is accepted.
All cash advances, whether travel advances or expense advances, wherever possible.
Procedure Diners Club Card applications are available from the department and from PSC Travel Accounting. If time is short, the card application can be faxed. The traveler must use the card wherever possible to pay for appropriate trip-related costs. The traveler then seeks reimbursement through use of the Travel Voucher upon trip completion. If Travel Accounting receives a TAA form requesting an advance, or a lodging deposit, Travel staff will contact the requester to verify that he or she does not already have access to the Diners Club network.
