Hy-Vee Charge Cards
Hy-Vee recently sent out letters informing you of a change in their direct billing program.  Hy-Vee offered a new charge card for departments to use for in-store purchases.

The University is not supportive of this program and has asked Hy-Vee to discontinue the issuance of these charge cards.  Instead, Hy-Vee will be accepting procurement cards as the preferred method of food purchases.

If you have already been issued a Hy-Vee card, the account will be closed by Hy-Vee.  You should cut up and dispose of it properly.

Security Alert – Office Supply/Toner Scams
Be wary of phone calls from anyone who is claiming to be your “regular supplier” for office supplies.  It could be an office supply scam.  The scam artist is generally trying to obtain information so that they will be able to bill the department for phony orders or misrepresented orders.  The scam artist may actually send merchandise, however the quantity shipped is less then billed and the price is inflated.  If you believe you are the victim of an office supply scam, contact our department as soon as possible.  For more information about office supply scams, please visit the following link:
