To add a receipt for a Card transaction, tap on a transaction via your Pending Charges or Recent Activity and take a picture of your Business Card receipt. Once the picture is uploaded successfully, it will be linked with your selected Card transaction.

Tags are your own labels that you can apply to receipts which help you categorize your expenses. Tags can be applied through the American Express® Business App or directly to transactions through your American Express online account. Tags applied to a transaction through the app will appear on your online account. Tags applied to transactions on your online account will automatically appear in the American Express® Business App as well. 

Tags are unique to each Card. If you have multiple Business Cards, be sure to select the Business Card to see the list of associated tags. You may add tags for a Business Card from your American Express online account or from the app. You can remove tags for a Business Card through your online account.

Basic Card Members can create ether a shared tag or a private tag. Shared tags will be available to any Employee Card Members on the account. Both the Basic and Employee Card Members can apply shared tags to receipts. Private tags are only usable and viewable by the Card Member who created the tag as well as any designated Account Managers. Employee Card Members cannot create shared tags. 

Freezing an Employee Card prevents any further charges on the card. If your Employee Card holder tries to use the card once it's frozen, the card will be declined. You can freeze or unfreeze an Employee Card at any time.

To freeze an Employee Card, go to the Employee icon at the bottom of your screen, select the Employee Card account and tap Manage Card Settings. Then tap Freeze.

You can assign a Spending Limit for each of your Employee Cards to prevent your employees from spending above the limit you set for the Employee Card.

To set a Spending Limit for an Employee Card, go to the Employee icon at the bottom of your screen, select the Employee Card account and tap Manage Employee Cards. Then you will have the option to set Spending Limits.

Basic Card Members can receive the following alerts: (1) Spend Tracking Alert: an Employee Card is approaching a set spending limit; (2) Blocked Purchase Alert: an Employee Card's purchase was blocked due to exceeding a set spending limit; (3) Receipt Reminder Alert: a reminder to add a receipt image for purchases exceeding a set amount.

Employee Card Members can receive the reminder to add a receipt image for purchases exceeding a set amount.
