Global Apply for Card (GAFC) Programme Administrator Frequently Asked Questions
Read the complete list of FAQs for Programme Administrators (PA) using the Global Apply for Card method.
There are two roles:
Programme Administrator (PA) who can initiate* and track Card Applications.
Authorised Signatory (AS) who can approve Card Applications
*Excludes Quick Send function which can only be used by AS
There are two ways to access a Card Application:
- Access Key and a URL Link
- Card Applicants may be provided with a link to the application site and an Access Key, or;
- Access Key(s) and the Card application URL may be posted on their company’s internal Intranet site.
- Email Invitation
- Applicants will receive two emails from American Express, initiated by their PA via @ Work, inviting them to apply for a Corporate Card.
- One email will contain a link to the application site, the other an Application ID to use as a key to log on and complete the application.
Once on the Card application site, Applicants will be instructed to enter their email address and Application ID or Access Key to begin their Corporate Card application journey.
Only an Authorised Signatory can approve Card Applications. Authorised Signatories are also the only User who can use the “Quick Send” feature in the ‘Send Applications’ tab as these are ‘pre-approved’ applications.
Should a PA inadvertently approve a Card Application it will be rejected, and an email sent to the Card Applicant advising the status. A new form will need to be submitted.
Travel and Entertainment Cards: Platinum, Gold, Green Cards and CoBrand are available. Currently CMC & CPC are excluded.
Information on accepted identification documents is provided at the start, and throughout the Applicant’s journey.
Once they have begun completing the application on the right-hand side of the screen under ‘Important Information’ they can select the hyperlink for ‘Learn more’ where they will be directed to additional details.
