Diners Club Corporate Credit Card
The Corporate Credit Card Program Overview
The Health Center has entered into agreement with
Diners
Club International to provide corporate card services to UConn
Health Center travelers.
The Corporate Credit Card Program provides employees the option of
receiving a free credit card to be used for charging
business travel expenses.
Each card account is established in the employee's name,
and monthly statements will be mailed to the cardholder's
home address. All charges on the account are the
individual's responsibility, just as if the account were a
personal card. Participating employees enjoy the advantage
of holding a no-annual fee account which allows them to
segregate all business-related expenses from their personal
accounts. Credit lines of personal cards are not tied up.
Moreover, balances on a Corporate Card account are not
reported on personal credit records.
Participation in the card programs is purely voluntary,
though they offer a convenience not to be easily dismissed.
In addition to providing a special credit line, this card
program includes primary collision damage insurance for
rental cars. This will result in a direct savings in travel
budgets since it will no longer be necessary to purchase
this coverage nor will it put the traveler's personal policy
rates at risk. Employees also have the option of enrolling
at extra cost in the Diners Club Card Rewards Program. The
Health Center neither endorses nor discourages this program,
nor accepts any liability consequent thereto. Participation
fees for this program are the employee's responsibility and
are not reimbursable by the Health Center..
All full-time faculty, managerial and professional
employees are eligible. Classified employees who travel on
official Health Center business may also participate in this
program, upon written request from the employee's supervisor
submitted to the Travel Office, Attention Marcia Ginsburg (MC 5112).
