PCard for Travel-Related Expenses

Per the Travel Manual, the PCard should be used, to the extent possible, for all authorized travel expenses, as it provides an efficient method to handle travel-related expenses. Individuals with a PCard should use it for authorized travel expenses to minimize out-of-pocket expenses for the traveler and justify the need for the card.

It is important to remember that the PCard may not be used for meals while in travel status or gas for personal vehicles, as these expenses are covered by a per diem or standard mileage rate. The traveler should pay these expenses themselves and claim them as part of their travel reimbursement through the Travel Center.
