Student Group Travel Card — Citibank MasterCard

Citibank’s Student Group Travel Card is designed for departments that escort student groups on official university business.

About the Card

Departments that escort student groups on official business for The University of Texas at Austin are eligible to apply for the Student Group Travel Card.
The card must be issued in the name of the faculty or staff member who escorts the student group on travel.
The card is for university student group travel-related charges only.
Card use is allowed when the group begins travel. Pre-trip expenses are NOT allowed on this credit card.
The accounts will be closed once the trip is complete unless there will be multiple trips a semester. Your department is responsible for contacting Travel Management Services once a group trip is completed.
Citibank and Travel Management Services do not know how merchants code their business, and international destinations are the most problematic; to avoid confusion when assessing the eligibility of charges to the card, provide details about the types of charges you expect to incur while traveling with the student group.
Your department is liable for all charges that are applied to the card.
