Responsibilities

T&E cardholders must follow ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Travel Policy for reimbursement. The T&E cardholder agreement (contained on the application) lists additional responsibilities.

The American Express T&E card is a hybrid liability product for use with ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ policy-approved business expenses. The cardholder is responsible for full and timely payment of all card expenses. The card cannot be used for equipment purchases or recurring, non-travel charges such as monthly cellphone bills. The cardholder agreement permits booking of airfare and lodging only for the cardholder. Additional information can be found in theT&E FAQs.

AMEX statement balances must be paid fully paid each month (brought to zero) through the Travel and Expense Module. See the application/cardmember agreement for more details.

The card is a privilege of employment at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. Cards must be surrendered upon termination of employment.
