The maximum surcharge allowed by Visa on T&E Card purchases is 3%. Effective April 15, 2023, Visa reduced the permissible merchant surcharge to the lower of: (a) the actual rate charged to the merchant by Visa, or (b) 3%. This is valid nationwide.
If a cardholder is expecting a credit for a T&E Card transaction, they must still meet the standard deadline of 30 days for submitting the original transaction. This applies even in cases of fraud, merchandise returns, or accidental purchases awaiting a refund. While it's preferable to consolidate the purchase and credit on the same report, the initial transaction must be submitted on time even if waiting for the credit.

Creating an accidental reimbursement is caused by either:
- Not selecting the card transaction on the expense report, which results in a reimbursement; or
- Selecting a receipt that was submitted through the mobile app without also selecting the card transaction. Receipts uploaded through the mobile app are formatted very similarly to a card transaction. The receipts are labeled as "Quick Expenses" so make sure that the Bank of America T&E Card Transaction is selected as well.

Select a new itinerary on the same airline as your ticket credit. Complete your reservation as usual. When the ticketing agent at CBT fulfills your ticket order they will apply your credit and charge any applicable change fee to your credit card on file. If there is a residual value left over, that will appear in your unused ticket list in AirPortal. If your credit is all used it will disappear from your unused ticket list. Some airlines allow a residual credit and some do not. Some allow the change fee to be taken out of the credit and some require you to pay it separately.
