CORPORATE CREDIT CARD WITH DINERS CLUB INTERNATIONAL

The University has entered into agreements with Diners Club/MasterCard to provide corporate card services to UConn travelers. The Corporate Card program provides employees the option of receiving a free credit card to be used for charging business travel expenses.

Each card account is established in the employee's name, and monthly statements will be mailed to the cardholder's home address. All charges on the account are the individual's responsibility, just as if the account were a personal card. Participating employees enjoy the advantage of holding a no-annual fee account which allows them to segregate all business-related expenses from their personal accounts. Credit lines of personal cards are not tied up. Moreover, balances on a Corporate Card account are not reported on personal credit records.

Participation in the card programs is purely voluntary, though they offer a convenience not to be easily dismissed. In addition to providing a special credit line, this card programs include primary collision damage insurance for rental cars, which will result in a direct savings in travel budgets, since it will no longer be necessary to purchase this coverage nor will it put the traveler's personal policy rates at risk. Employees also have the option of enrolling at extra cost in the Diners Club Card Rewards Program. The University neither endorses nor discourages this program, nor accepts any liability consequent thereto. Participation fees for this program are the employee's responsibility and are not reimbursable by the University.

Informational material and instructions for enrolling in this program may be obtained from the Travel Office in the New Central Warehouse Building or
