All Northeastern AMEX cards have a single transaction limit of $5,000 and a monthly limit of $10,000.

Northeastern AMEX card holders are required to complete Concur training online before activating and using their card. Concur is our tool for reconciling AMEX purchases and reimbursing employees for out-of-pocket expenses.
