Restricted Items List
If you present your LaCarte Card for payment to vendors falling under a category on the restricted items list, the authorization request will be declined. If you feel a particular purchase has been erroneously declined, please contact the LaCarte Administrator. The following is a list of restricted items, however this list is not exhaustive and cardholders are expected to use good judgment when determining whether a purchase is both appropriate and work related.
