There are specific situations where a Travel Card can be used to pay for expenses on behalf of another.

Under certain circumstances, the Travel Card can be used to make payments on behalf of other travelers, such as non-employees or employees who have not yet received their own Travel Card.

The expenses below may be made on behalf of other travelers without seeking a policy exception. 

NOTE: If paying on behalf of a UC Davis employee, this is to be a one-time exception.  UC Davis employees should apply for their own Travel Card.

Additional Notes on Paying On Behalf of Others

  • On the AggieExpense report header you'll see the question, Exception requested: spouse/partner or other traveler(s) expenses included on report and you'll have the option to choose "Yes" or "No" from a drop down menu. If reimbursable expenses for another employee, guest, or a spouse/partner are included on the report, choose yes and in the comments provide an explanation of why the expense is on your report. The report will automatically route for Exception approval.
  • For purchases on behalf of others that are not included in the table above, please obtain pre-approval from Travel Accounting. Send a request to cardprogramhelp@ucdavis.edu, and include details of the transaction and circumstances.
  • Airfare should be purchased through UC approved travel agencies. The most common method is BCD Travel, which is integrated in AggieExpense and allows for direct billing to the campus Preferred Booking Program for guest and employee airfare.
