Before you use the Travel Card for travel expenses, you must have a travel trip number (preauthorization requirement). Learn about card management, including your responsibility for timely payment.
Online transactions: You can use the chip-enabled Travel Card online to obtain airfare, rent a car, reserve a hotel, and pay for conference registration:
- Indicate the form of payment as Visa; otherwise, charges may be declined.
- Use a specific billing address: Use your own Travel Card account billing address for online transactions. However, if you have trouble, try using the UC San Diego billing address:
- First line: 9500 Gilman Drive
- Second line: M/C 0998
- Third line: La Jolla, CA 92093
Reimbursement: Use the Travel Card prepayment option in MyTravel to generate a payment to the traveler's Travel Card. After the trip concludes request reimbursement using MyTravel online. For additional information regarding prepayments, see Travel FAQ.
