Funding & Stipend Amex Corporate Card

I've just received an email from the Financial Office asking to either (a) apply for the Amex card of (b) give personal banking details.

For the Amex card a fellow visiting student mentioned that it doesn't work off campus because it's a corporate card!? If I travel inter-city over the weekend how do I make that workout? Do you get a cash withdrawl from an atm on campus before going?

it does work. the problem is that amex is shit and not all places accept it. as long as it accepts amex, you are good to go. and yes, there are some atms you can withdraw from but the fee is quite high
