Travel Card
Am I required to use my Purdue Visa Travel Card for business travel expenses?
The Purdue Visa Travel Card is the preferred payment method for frequent travelers to use for all business travel expenses as it simplifies the reimbursement process, assists with cost savings and provides the traveler with extended benefits (i.e. travel accident insurance, rental car collision damage waiver, hotel burglary reimbursement). It is the University's expectation that if an individual has a Purdue Travel card, that they will book all travel through Concur and utilize the Purdue Travel card for the payment method.
