Site Payment Cards

Site payment cards are company credit cards stored at the site level instead of at the user profile level. Some TIMCs might use terms such as Ghost Card, BTA, or Central Billing Account for these types of cards. Site cards are configured and managed by site administrators.

Benefits and Need to Know

Creating a site payment card allows you to make a card available for specific groups of travelers to use for all travel, or for only air, train, car, or hotel travel. You can set restrictions that require those users to book travel with the site payment card, or you can give them the option to use either the site payment card or a card stored in their user profile.

You create each payment site card, and add those card to one or more card sets that can be assigned to groups. You can add the same card to more than one set.

Site payment cards are similar to but used differently than Corporate Payment Cards:

  • Site Payment Card: A corporate card with its card number stored at the company site level. Per the instructions below, you create a site payment card, assign it to a site payment card set, and assign that set to one or more user group/s. Users in that group can be restricted to using only the site payment card for travel, or they can be allowed to use either the site payment card or a card stored in their profile.

  • Corporate payment card: A corporate card with its card number stored at the traveler user profile level. As detailed in Corporate Payment Cards, at the site level, you create a card set based on a shared BIN number, set restrictions that only corporate payment cards are compliant with policy, and then assign that card set to one or more user group/s. Users in that group will be required to select from a list of compliance codes if they choose to not to use the corporate card and book out-of-policy travel.

Tip: To see examples of the traveler experience on the purchase page for site payment cards, see the examples in Payment Options.

Deem uses the following terms in creating and assigning site payment cards:

  • Site Payment Card: An individual credit card plus restrictions on its use.

  • Site Payment Card Set: A group of site payment cards, allowing you to assign multiple credit cards to user group/s.

  • Service Rules: A set of rules configured elsewhere in Deem, including site payment card sets, that you assign to one or more groups for use by that group/s.

Example:

  • VIP: Option to purchase air and rail using either a site card or individual card within profile. Hotel set up with Conferma Virtual Payment Card.

  • Manager: Required to purchase air and rail using a site card. Guarantee hotel with individual card within profile.

  • Default: Required to purchase air or rail using a different site card than the Manager group. Guarantee hotel with individual card within profile.

  • Guest: Required to purchase air and rail with a Single Use Credit card. Purchase hotel with Conferma Virtual Payment Card.

Important:

  • When using a site card for rail, open a Deem support case noting the client will be using a site card.

  • When using a site card for hotels, the card will be used only in booking for the guarantee, deposit, or cancellation penalty amount if applicable. The traveler will be required to present payment upon check in.

  • If the client wants to use Conferma Virtual Payment instead of a site payment card, see Conferma Virtual Payment.
