Lodging on the P-Card


How to use a P-card for lodging

If your p-card has been approved for travel expenses, you may use it to pay for 100% reimbursable lodging and hotel parking costs.  Note:  Incidentals are NOT allowed on the p-card.  Incidentals include phone calls, room service, laundry, movies, porterage.  If these expenses are reimbursable, seek reimbursement on a travel expense report (TER).

Required documentation includes an original hotel receipt showing:

  • Travelers Name

  • Dates of stay

  • Daily Room Rates (Maximum is $70 for all in-state counties other than Milwaukee, Racine and Waukesha where the maximum is $80.)  If you are seeking a higher reimbursement due to staying at a conference site, you must submit proof that you stayed at the conference site.  Typically a copy of the conference registration form would contain appropriate documentation.

  • Other applicable charges

A completed and appropriately signed copy of the Travel Expense Report (TER) including the following information:

  • Travelers name
  • Dates of travel
  • Purpose of trip

Caveats:  When making reservations, be sure to check the hotel's cancellation policy.  Generally, if you fail to cancel in accordance with hotel policy, the "no-show" charges will be posed to the p-card.  The cardholder will be responsible for reimbursing UWSP for these charges.
