  9. The P-Card Purchase Process • Get 3 quotes if the total amount is more than $5,000 • You place the order directly • Vendor is paid immediately • Vendor delivers item directly to department • You retain receipts, quotes, pack slips & invoices

  10. Making Purchases • For MESD business purposes only • Never use your card for personal expenditures, for cash advances, or to obtain “store credit” • You may not use the card to purchase restricted items

  11. Purchase Incentives Are Not Allowed • Examples include but not limited to: • Rebates, two-for-one purchases and spend rewards. • Give your work phone number when requested for a phone number while using the P-Card • It’s your department’s responsibility to ensure that any incentive reward money is the property of MESD.

  12. Things You Should Never Do • Never give a vendor your personal data as part of your transaction: • Your Social Security # • Your Driver’s License # • Your Birthdate, Home Phone # • Never put your full card number or personal data in an email or email attachment • Never allow someone else to use your card • Never split a purchase to circumvent limits

  20. What would you do? A team exercise!

  21. Question 1 • You want to buy some handmade paperweights as prizes for children in one of your programs. It’s only going to cost you $100 to buy a hundred! The guy who makes and sells the paperweights is your secretary’s oldest son, and he accepts P-Cards. Do you use your P-Card to buy them?

  22. Question 2 • You need to buy two overhead projectors for a meeting you’re holding. They cost $2,799, each. If your card transaction limit is $5,000, how are you going to get the projectors in time for the meeting?

  23. Question 3 • You accidentally left your receipt in your pants pocket—the pants that are in the washing machine, right now! What are you going to do about it?

  24. Question 4 • Computers “R” Us is having a sale on a printer that your boss desperately needs. They’re half-off, only costing $3,720, which, for these printers, is a really cool deal. In fact, your boss is ready to go out and buy it this very afternoon with his P-Card! What advice would you give him?

  25. Question 5 • You bought some office supplies over the phone from a locally-owned store with your P-Card two weeks before Christmas. The next day, the store owner, who is the nicest woman you’ve ever met, delivers you the supplies, along with a beautiful fruitcake. What would you do?

  26. Thank you!
