Spend controls determine how you can use your Perk Card. You can view the overall spend limit to ensure that your card usage remains within your company’s desired budget. You may see that your card has been set up to be automatically frozen if you present too many expenses late.
Your card admin may have restricted your card usage by limiting the merchant categories where you can use the card. Merchant categories classify businesses by the type of goods or services made available. For example, your card admin may have determined that you can use your Perk Card to purchase fuel only and prohibited any purchases of food and drink (i.e. at restaurants).
In the case of physical cards, your card admin may have determined that you can use your card to withdraw cash at an ATM or not.
