    • "Not Enough Available Money" 
      • Attempted purchase exceeds the daily or monthly spending limit.
      • Submit a request to Change Card Limit.
      • If the Available Funds shows $1 or $5, the T&E Card may have been suspended due to unexpensed aging transactions or misuse. Contact AskFinance@virginia.edu for assistance. 
    • Transaction is not visible in auth log / "REVERSAL"
      • If the transaction is not visible at all or shows as REVERSAL, the issue is likely occurring on the vendor’s end, and is typically caused by entering payment information that does not match the cardholder's billing information. The cardholder should view their card’s billing address and phone number using the Active Cardholder Search. 
      • The cardholder should attempt to rerun the payment using the correct billing information.
      • If the issue persists, contact the vendor directly. The last step would be to reach out to Bank of America using the number on the back of your card. 
    • "ACTIVATION" 
      • The card has not been successfully activated. Activate Card then try to make the purchase again. 

• Contact Bank of America

  • Contact Bank of America using the number on the back of the card (888-449-2273) for information about declined transactions. The verification code to speak with them is the cardholder’s University ID (the nine-digit number on the back of the University ID card).
