Saving Credit Cards in Your Profile

All online reservations require payment at the time of booking. You can choose to bill a trip to your department or to your own credit card.

To avoid having to enter credit card information every time you book:

  • Store personal credit cards in your profile. To add a card, click Profile from the red navigation menu, then click Charge Cards.
  • Set default credit cards. On the Charge Cards page, adjust Payment Settings.

TIP: You can give your credit cards nicknames so that they are recognizable to you online (for example: “Personal Visa”).
