Ithaca College staff or faculty members who completed the GE Corporate Payment Services procurement and/or travel card online application process, and had their application approved before October 5, should receive their travel cards by the end of this week.
Travel cards will still be mailed to cardholder campus addresses, but procurement cards will be mailed directly to the Accounts Payable office and then distributed to your campus address. (Previously we stated that all cards would be mailed directly to cardholder campus addresses.)
Please check new cards to be sure that your name is correct. Cardholders should contact Ann Martin in Accounts Payable (274-3808) for procurement cards or Tami Hastings in Travel Services (274-1480) for travel cards if a card is not correct.
Additionally, if cardholders who applied (and the application was approved) during the September 17–October 4 initial enrollment period have not received their new cards, they should also contact Accounts Payable or Travel Services.
Activating the new cards requires cardholders to call a toll-free number. The automated voice will ask for either the new 16-digit card number or a Social Security number; enter your 16-digit card number. Then it will ask for the holder's employee ID number.
Cards issued by Ithaca College's previous card provider, Elan Financial Services, will be deactivated on October 26.
To apply for a GE Corporate Payment Services procurement card and/or travel card, please read specific instructions on how to apply. Card applications typically take seven to ten business days to process.
Managers should review cardholders and usage within their areas before approving new card applications. All applications will go through manager approval in addition to approval from Accounts Payable or Travel Services. As a resource to use in determining who should have travel or procurement cards, we have created basic guidelines for both the travel and procurement card programs.
