- MCC code

For Travel Cards (T Card): email your supervisor and copy Amanda Gleasman, Accounts Payable Specialist (agleasma@hamilton.edu) with the requested limit amount and the period for which the increase is needed. Once approved by your supervisor, your temporary increase request will be processed.
For Purchase Cards (P Card): email your supervisor and copy Jennifer Mayer, Associate Director of Procurement (jmayer@hamilton.edu) with the requested limit amount and the period for which the increase is needed. Once approved by your supervisor, and Jennifer, your increase request will be processed.
- All of the Key2Purchase corporate cards are PIN encrypted. This is a new technology, so you will find that some card terminals will require a PIN number to be entered. For this reason, all cardholders are required to create a PIN # as soon as they receive their cards. This can be done at www.keycommercialcard.com – (the security code needed to set the pin is the last 4 digits of your 51 Employee ID).
- This link can also be used to reset the pin if you have forgotten or want to change it.
- KEY2PURCHASE cards are credit cards and will not be processed as debit cards. If the chip reader is not available or working, you can try swiping the card or have it manually entered.
- An “out of pocket” expense is when you pay for an item that is College related and need to be reimbursed for it. This is required to be submitted via an Expense Report during the month it was incurred.
- For detailed instructions, see the job aid.
Supervisors can view a listing of outstanding statements by selecting Reports, Company Reports, Monthly Reports, then change the cycle to the month you are looking for.
