How To Prepare A JP MorganChase Travel Card Application
Updated 04/08/09

The General Services Administration (GSA) has a contract with JP MorganChase to issue travel charge cards to eligible employees of the Federal Government. With GSA requiring mandatory use of the JP Morgan travel card by all Department employees who travel, it is important that travelers apply for and use the card. After a required personal credit check is conducted, a JP MorganChase travel card is issued to the employee without an annual fee. The card affords the traveler financial flexibility and convenience while traveling on official Government business.  ITA staff who travel two or more times a year must apply for the travel card. The JP MorganChase travel card may be used to obtain cash advances, purchase airline tickets, pay for hotels, and automobile rentals.  The card may be used only for official government travel.  Personal use of the card is strictly forbidden.
