Can the Visa Purchase card be used to pay for tuition assistance and training?
Most colleges, universities, and training vendors will accept a purchase card payment in lieu of a purchase order or a government training form. Visa Purchase cards facilitate the enrollment process for the attendee. Check with your card program manager to determine whether or not use of a purchase card is authorized prior to enrollment. Because separate regulations have established the threshold for training at $25,000 before it is subject to FAR contracting procedures, your department may allow for payments in excess of the typical $2,500 limit for training expenses. Check with your card program coordinator or training resource to determine whether or not higher-cost training can be placed on the Visa Purchase card.
