What is the appropriate use of the GSA SmartPay® travel charge card?
The government travel charge card may be used only for authorized official travel and travel-related expenses. Official travel expenses are broadly categorized as transportation, lodging, meals, and incidentals. The travel charge card must not be used for personal expenses unrelated to official travel at any time. Doing so is considered to be “misuse” of the card. In addition, the travel charge card may be electronically coded to be rejected at merchant locations your agency has determined are not necessary for conducting official travel to help prevent misuse.
