An individual will be issued a restricted travel card in the following situations:
- They have a credit score below 659.
- They refuse to authorize a credit score check.
- They have had a travel card in the past and have abused it, such as by making late payments or using it for personal expenses.
- They are new to the government and have not yet established a credit history.
If you are issued a restricted travel card, it is important to use it responsibly and to pay your bills on time. You can also request to have your card upgraded to an unrestricted card if your credit score improves.
Steps for obtaining a travel card:
- Contact your Authorizing Purchaser (AP) or Travel Manager to request a travel card.
- Complete the Travel Card Application form.
- Provide your AP or Travel Manager with the required documentation, such as your government travel identification card and your most recent credit report.
- Your AP or Travel Manager will review your application and determine if you are eligible for a travel card.
- If you are approved for a travel card, you will be issued a credit limit and a PIN.
- You will need to sign the Travel Card Agreement and return it to your AP or Travel Manager.
- You can then begin using your travel card for official travel expenses.
It is important to note that you are responsible for all charges made on your travel card. You must pay your bill on time and in full each month. If you do not pay your bill on time, you may be subject to late fees and your travel card may be suspended or revoked.
