Administrative Announcement

TO: American Express Cardholders
FROM: William J. Hogan, Jr.
SUBJECT: American Express Travel Card Program Re-design
DATE: April 28, 2004

I write to announce changes to the American Express (AMEX) Corporate Card program effective July 1, 2004. These changes are required because of the significant growth in personal use of the AMEX card, the increased volume of delinquent payments, and changes in the University's contractual arrangement with American Express.

In order to continue in the AMEX Corporate Card program, you must complete and sign the enclosed Cardholder Agreement and return it to Central Procurement Services no later than June 30, 2004. Your signature on the Agreement indicates your agreement to use the AMEX card only for University-related business travel. The Department Head signature indicates that the department agrees that you require the card to travel on University business and that the department will reimburse you for the $35 annual fee.

If you have questions, please contact me at (773) 702-1940 or Gene Suwanski, Director of Central Procurement Services, at (773) 702-3321.
