| 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.
