Frequently Asked Questions

When traveling on business, which travel expenses can be charged to my purchasing card?
The card can only be used for travel if the cardholder has travel limits on his/her card. All travel which would include airline tickets, railway tickets, hotel lodging, registration fees, meals (both individual and group), rental cars can be charged if you have travel limits. Registration fees cannot include membership fees. Memberships cannot be paid using the purchasing card. Airline tickets or rail tickets may be purchased using the card. It is recommended to use Anthony Travel through Travel OnLion. Other travel sites may be used as long as the lowest rate is purchased. See Airline Booking Options and Services for guidelines.

Exclusion for using purchasing card for travel: Memberships
