Travel Agency/Ghost Card BTA

Business Travel Account (BTA)

We have established a separate Business Travel Account (BTA) with the contracted ttravel agency to reserve and charge airline tickets that were previously billed directly to UNL.

The BTA is a charge account (Ghost Card) which has replaced many direct bill invoices.

UNL Employee and UNL Employee Guest airline tickets: Give travel agent cost object number.

The BTA number assigned to each agency is FOR THEIR USE ONLY, and will not be made available to UNL employees. UNL PO or TA numbers will still be necessary to charge an airline ticket directly to the UNL Ghost Card at each agency.

Departments will be billed for BTA (Ghost Card) transactions/purchases via UNL intramural charge system.

EXCEPTIONS

UNL employees may still reserve and charge airline tickets to their individual Charge Card, and then request reimbursement from Accounting via an Employee Expense Voucher. UNL encourages travelers to use the Ghost Card. If ticket is charged with personal charge card, keep in mind, that travelers can only submit one employee expense voucher per trip.

When requesting reimbursement for tickets charged to personal charge cards, please note that the Travel and Transport Itinerary Invoice (not email) must accompany the employee expense voucher.
