Purcahse Card vs Fleet Card

When I was on the Gov side, I was not aware of any regulation restricting use of a purchase card as a fleet card other than the organization's restrictions. The delineation was mostly because of reporting/management/cost tracking purposes.

In my old agency, fleet cards typically had many small/frequent purchases for vehicle/travel associated costs while purchase cards are typically only used when invoicing is not an option to purchase government property.

I guess if someone with that?s been issued both cards used the purchase card as a fleet card, it would be merely a violation of policy ? not a law (that I know of).

I think this is a question of agency or line of business's policy - not one of regulation (again, that I know of).

DoD generally requires the two programs be kept separate. Search for fuel here

Thanks!
