  • Enhanced sustainability features: Filter by emissions and sustainability options.
  • New Distribution Capability (NDC): New way for airlines to give access to all available airline fares and offers.
  • Improved seat maps: Recognizes loyalty status, allowing selection of preferred seats.

The cardholder is solely responsible for timely payment of the charges incurred on the U.S. Bank T&E Card. It is the cardholder’s responsibility to review their monthly statement and ensure charges are legitimate, expenses are processed, and payments are made. All travel should be reconciled via an expense report promptly upon return from the trip so payments can be made in a timely manner. UC Merced cardholders are responsible for paying late fees or penalties incurred on the T&E card; these are not reimbursable.
