NOAO Credit Cards
- I have heard
that some employees have AURA business credit cards. What cards are available
and who is eligible to get them?
- What are the
BOMPA credit card procedures?
I have heard that some employees have AURA business credit
cards. What cards are available and who is eligible to get them?
NOAO offers two different
types of credit cards for its employees.
- The first is the American
Express credit card. This card is issued to employees who are frequent
travelers to assist them with meals and lodging while traveling. As with
all American Express cards, there is no credit limit. The employee can
purchase both personal and business items with the card. The monthly
invoices are paid by the employee who then submits a travel expense
report form or check request form for reimbursement. AURA pays the
annual fee and guarantees the card with American Express. The monthly
amount is to be paid in full to American Express.
- The second is a Master Card
credit card (BOMPA or Blanket Order Merchant Purchase Authorization
credit card) that can ONLY be used for the purchase of business
related items. Generally the individual purchase limits and monthly
limits are small. At the end of each billing cycle, the cardholder
reconciles the credit card statement, assigns account numbers to the
individual charges, and submits the invoice to his/her account manager
for approval. AURA pays the invoice. These cards have specific spending
limits on both individual and total transactions. This Master Card is
designed to be used for small, urgently needed, off-the-shelf purchases
and for support of meetings or conferences.
Purchases
made with either of these cards cannot be for items that add to the value of
capitalized (tagged) equipment.
To initiate the process,
your account manager or supervisor must forward to the manager of NOAO
Procurement a memo requesting that you be issued a credit card and that it
would be of value in the conduct of your work.
If either credit card
would be useful in your position, contact Clark Enterline, NOAO Procurement
Manager (centerline@noao.edu, ext.
8277).
