  • Other traveler expenses including ASU travelers or non-ASU affiliates.

Using your card

Safeguards: 

  • Do not send your ASU travel card account number in an email or fax. Keep your card in a secure place.
  • Transactions post under the available expenses section in My ASU TRIP. When transactions are added, you will receive an email. Review charges for accuracy. If you notice a fraudulent or erroneous charge, call the bank.
  • Review your online monthly memo statement and verify transactions are accurate.

Authorization for charges:

  • Your My ASU TRIP request authorizes transactions.
  • Accidental use of the card for a non-ASU expense or a non-travel expense. Complete a non-travel expenses report.

Call the bank:

  • Declined transaction – Call U.S. Bank customer service at 1-800-344-5696; outside the U.S., call collect 1-701-461-2042.
  • Fraudulent or erroneous charge – Report to U.S. Bank fraud 1-800-523-9078. Fraudulent activity may be your personal responsibility if not reported within 60 days of the transaction date. When the bank issues a credit to offset the charge complete a non-travel expenses report to clear both transactions from My ASU TRIP.

Leaving ASU

FAQs

  1. What is the difference between the ASU travel card and the ASU purchasing card or P-Card?

The ASU travel card is used for travel-related expenses, are tied to an individual and transactions are expensed to the funding source indicated on an expense report. Travel transactions are prohibited on a P-Card except for airfare and conference registration. P-Cards are tied to a funding source and transactions are expensed to that funding source.

  1. If I use an ASU travel card for travel expenses, do I still need to submit receipts for those transactions?

Itemized receipts are required for airfare, business meals, car rentals and lodging. Other travel expenses incurred on an ASU travel card do not require receipts unless your department or funding source requires them.

  1. Can I use my personal credit card for ASU travel expenses instead of the ASU travel card?

Yes, when an expense report is filed after the trip ends you will be reimbursed.

  1. Can I use the ASU travel card for meals while in travel status?

Yes, but many travelers do not use the card for meals to reduce the number of transactions on their expense report.

  1. If I use the ASU travel card for meals, how does My ASU TRIP calculate the amount of my daily allowance?

ASU uses daily allowance for calculating meal reimbursement while you are in travel status. When preparing the expense report, if the card is used for a business meal, which is a meal shared with non-ASU personnel where university business is conducted, the transaction should be identified as a business meal and will be reimbursed in its entirety. The daily allowance for that meal must be excluded.

If the card is used for a meal that is not a business meal, the transaction should be identified as a meal on travel card. The total of all meals on travel card transactions are netted against the daily allowance allowed for the trip. My ASU TRIP will reimburse the difference if the allowed amount exceeds the amount spent. Travelers are required to reimburse the university if the transactions exceed the amount allowed.

Create daily allowance expenses.

  1. How long does it typically take for travel card transactions to show up in My ASU TRIP?

It depends on the individual credit card vendor and when they batch their information. In most cases, travel card transactions are in the system within one week of the transaction date for a domestic transaction. An international transaction can take up to two weeks.

Before you submit an expense report, verify all transactions incurred during the trip are included in My ASU TRIP. If you do not, you will need to complete a modification expense report to process the omitted transactions. The department will be charged an additional expense report fee for the modification.
