| State Purchasing - Statewide Card Programs |
| |
The State of Georgia offers two card programs for use in conducting State business.
The VISA Purchasing Card, issued by Bank of America, is a cost-efficient method for employees to make official purchases at retail locations, over the phone or via the internet including purchases from statewide contracts or agency contracts.
The Travel Card, issued by American Express, provides employees who travel regularly on State business with an alternative to using personal credit cards or cash to pay job-related travel expenses. |

Purchasing Card |
| |
The Purchasing Card (P-Card) Program simplifies day-to-day purchasing activities while enhancing cost-effectiveness. The P-Card streamlines payment and purchasing procedures, reduces the administrative burden traditionally associated with small dollar value purchases, and allows for quicker receipt of goods. State and local governments can benefit from using the P-Card by eliminating purchase order paperwork. The P-Card offers more accountability through consistent and timely reconciliation processes and electronic management controls. The P-Card is honored by all merchants who accept VISA, and there are no annual, transaction, or reporting fees. | |

Travel Card |
| |
The Travel Card, issued by American Express, provides State employees who travel regularly on State business an alternative to using personal credit cards, personal funds, or cash advances from the Agency or University. Employees can use the card for airline tickets, rental cars and associated fuel costs, ground transportation (e.g. airport shuttles), lodging, and meals. The employee receives reimbursement for expenses through normal travel reimbursement procedures and makes payment directly to American Express. The State of Georgia does not incur any liability associated with the use of the card. Cardholders do not have to pay the annual fee normally charged for an American Express Card.
The current re-launch effort affects only existing cardholders. Please contact American Express for information concerning their on-line card management process and/or to order cards for new employees.
