The American Express charge card was implemented in order to facilitate the process of travel and related accounting. The principal advantage to the University is the reduction in the number of travel advances which saves money, both in processing costs and interest expense on the reserve balance. Other individual employees may be considered on a case by case basis.
Participation is voluntary.
Eligible employees may apply at any time. Application forms are available in the Accounting Office. There is no cost to the individual employee. There is no annual fee. The individual card holder is totally liable to American Express for the payment of charges for both University and personal travel.
