You only need to submit an expense for reimbursement when:
- You used a personal payment method (such as a personal card, cash, Venmo, or similar) instead of using your Benepass card for a purchase.
- The item/service you purchased with your personal card is eligible under your benefits.
Why would I use my personal card instead of my Benepass?
There are plenty of reasons you might want to do this, such as:
- If the item/service you want to purchase costs more than your remaining Benepass balance
- If you’re trying to earn credit card points while cashing in on your benefits
- If you’re having trouble with your Benepass card
What happens after I submit an expense?
-
Once you submit an expense, the team will review it within 5 business days from submission.
- If it's approved, we'll send payment within one business day. Once sent, payments usually arrive 3-5 days later, depending on your bank.
