Business Expense Survival Tips

- September 2009 -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction Limit for Supplies and Equipment
As a reminder, there is a $2,500 transaction limit for supply and equipment charges when using the CMU Business credit card.  Supply and equipment purchases larger than $2,500 need to go through Contracting and Purchasing Services.  Transactions should not be split in order to get around the $2,500 limit.  This is a violation of the policy.

Monthly CMU Business Credit Card Training
CMU Business Credit Card training sessions are offered each month.  If it has been a while since you have attended a training, we encourage you to sign up and become reacquainted with the business expense policies and procedures.  Here is a link to the upcoming training sessions. http://www.controller.cmich.edu/Training/CMU_BusCard.htm  Please call 3481 to register.

REMINDER - Expiring Credit Cards
For those of you that have an expiring credit card, you can continue using it until 9/30/09. Your new credit card has been delivered to the Payroll and Travel Services Office and is available for pick-up.  Cards can be picked up in Warriner Hall 204 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. A photo ID MUST be presented when picking up the credit card.

If you no longer want a CMU Business Credit Card in your name, please call 7363 to cancel your account.
