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.
