What is the difference between a Super Saver and travel being charged to the Ghost Card?
The Ghost Account refers to travel advance payments that are charged to the General Receivable Account/Center and include an employee’s 6 digit traveler id number as an identifier. Entries to the General Receivable Account have not been charged to a specific budget. Items that are charged to the Ghost Account include: Travel Advances, Hotel Deposits, and Super Saver Advances. In addition, Vanderbilt has agreements with a group of travel agencies that allow a traveler to book an airline ticket, by providing their traveler id to the travel agencies. The travel agencies charge Vanderbilt’s PCard, using the General Receivable Account/Center and the traveler id. Upon completion of the trip, the individual is required to complete a travel expense report, which will clear the receivable amount and charge the appropriate center.
