Corporate Credit Card Administration

Corporate Credit Cards:

The University has an agreement with Diners Club to provide a Corporate Card to EIU employees.  The card is intended to be used for business purposes and is a means of keeping business expenses separate from personal expenses.  Following are a few of the features/benefits of the Corporate Card:

• Worldwide acceptance at over 4 million established locations, including all major U.S. airlines, lodging and car rental chains.

• 24-hour toll-free cardmember customer service.

• A comprehensive travel insurance package, including full value primary collision damage insurance*  This is an important feature because, according to State travel regulations, the University cannot reimburse travelers if they purchase collision coverage from the car rental agency.

• 24-hour emergency traveler assistance services through Club Assistance.

• No pre-set spending limit.  Your spending limit will be set in accordance with your payment and spending patterns.

• Free access to over 70 Diners Club international airport lounges and business centers around the globe.
