New GTC to be issued

Published Aug. 12, 2008

MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- The new Government Travel Card, issued by Citibank, is on the way. All government cardholders will receive their new cards between August 13 and September 19 (plus mailing time). Initial distribution will begin with cardholders at OCONUS bases and migrate from the west coast to the east coast. Idaho cardholders should receive their cards by August 31.

Citibank will mail the new travel card to the mailing address on file with Bank of America; therefore, please ensure this information is correct. The Post Office will return cards sent to an incorrect address. Notify the unit Agency Program Coordinator if the card is not received by October 1, 2008. The new card will not be active for use until November 30, so the Bank of America GTC will be used until then.

Upon receipt of the new card verify immediately by phone or on-line. The required information will be printed on a sticker affixed to the card. The receipt verification process allows tracking of cards to ensure all cardholders receive their new GTC prior to November 30, 2008.

For more information contact your unit APC. Cardholders can also obtain additional GTC information on the Air Force Portal at https://www.my.af.mil, www.defensetravel.dod.mil or www.gsa.gov/smartpay.
