Travel Card Reference Guide

The USC Travel Plus Card (Travel Card) is issued by American Express on behalf of USC, and is the preferred payment tool for official university travel and events. The university will direct-pay those Travel Card expenses that have been properly reported, submitted, and approved via a WEBBA Quick Expense Report (QE Report).

This Reference Guide contains helpful links to key contacts, training information, policies, forms & documents, user's manuals, and websites, and is designed to facilitate a cardholder's experience with the Travel Card.
