bluCard

The bluCard is a University procurement card that enables the timely purchase of low value goods or services (up to $4,999.99, including tax and freight).

Event Planner Card

The Event Planner Card is a University credit card, issued to designated Event Planner employees of the University, to enable the timely purchase of goods and services for events costing up to $35,000 per single purchase (including taxes, shipping, and handling).

Note: To see if you qualify for this program, please e-mail our office at bluCard [at] berkeley [dot] edu or call us at 510-643-8201.

Travel Study Card (Declining Balance)

The Travel Study Card is a University credit card, issued to designated employees of the University, to enable the timely purchase of goods and services for activities specified in the program. The card will have a declining balance accordingly.

Departments participating in these programs will:

• increase efficiency and convenience by eliminating the need for a purchase order
• be able to purchase from vendors who accept the Visa Card but do not accept purchase orders
• be able to speed up processing time for purchasing goods and/or services
