Who can apply?
The University of British Columbia offers approved faculty and staff the opportunity of expediting business related expenditures through the use of the UBC American Express Travel and Entertainment Card.
How is the card useful?
Use of the UBC American Express card is a convenient, efficient way to fund University travel. It eliminates the need for a travel advance; has no preset spending limit; offers various insurance benefits; and enables cash access through most bank machines in the world.
What types of cards are available?
There are two (2) distinct types of UBC American Express Travel and Entertainment cards - the Individual card and the Departmental card.
The Individual card is for use by individual UBC travellers who travel and/or incur expenses on behalf of the University (i.e., the cardholder's own business related expenses). This card includes insurance benefits, cash access worldwide, and an optional Membership Rewards program.
The Departmental card is for institutional expenses on behalf of the entire department (i.e., the expenses of visiting scholars). Normally a maximum of one (1) Departmental card will be issued to a department and should be applied for in the name of the Adminstrative Head or their designate. This card does not include all of the benefits available with the Individual card.
UBC also offers a Purchasing card (P Card) for general low value Purchases other that Travel and Entertainment. Information on this card can be accessed here UBCPurchaseCardProgram

UBC corporate charge cards are available free of charge to any full time academic or administrative staff member who has obtained approval from their Administrative Head.

To ensure card security:
When making a query, do not send the whole cardnumber via e-mail. Request information by the full name on the card (including the Speedchart for Departmental cards) or by phone.
When making a booking with one of the preferred agencies -- if they do not have the cardnumber on file, call into the agency with the number.
