What alternatives to travel advances are available?
As alternatives, please consider using a personal credit card or personal funds. Employee reimbursements are processed twice per week, which should enable reimbursement before the credit card payment is due. Frequent travelers should consider applying for a corporate American Express card through Iowa State University. The employee pays no fee for the use of this card. Please contact Cheryl Ervin in Business Services at 294-4862 for more information. Registration fees can be prepaid by a Purchasing Card. Lodging can be prepaid by Iowa State University Voucher if the hotel faxes an invoice to your department, detailing the charges per night for room and various taxes. The invoice should include the hotel’s FEIN for tax reporting. When preparing the voucher, be sure to state the traveler’s name, arrival date, and departure date in the body of the voucher.
