Examples of Purchasing Card Use

Built-in Restrictions

Each card has been assigned an individual monthly credit limit, which is based on previous purchasing activity. If the limit on a card needs to be raised, the appropriate Director/Department Chair should contact the Purchasing Card Administrator. U.S. Bank will not change the credit limit of any card without the approval of the Purchasing Card Administrator.

Some supplier’s Merchant Category Codes (MCC) have been “blocked” from usage in the program. Transactions coded with a blocked MCC will be declined. Most suppliers currently utilized as a source for products or services by the University will accept the Purchasing Card. If a transaction is declined, the cardholder can call the 800 number on the back of their card. U.S. Bank Customer Service will determine and present the reason for the declined transaction. U.S. Bank will not give authorization to make a purchase if it is “blocked” unless they first receive authorization from the Purchasing Card Administrator.
