| 3. Click **Rules**. | ||
| 4. Under the **Spend** section, click **Add spend rule**. | ||
| 5. Under **Cards**, click **Choose cards** and select which Expensify Cards this rule applies to. | ||
| 6. Choose a **Restriction type**: | ||
| - **Allow** – Charges are approved if they match any merchant or category, and don't exceed a max amount. | ||
| - **Block** – Charges are declined if they match any merchant or category, or exceed a max amount. | ||
| 7. Configure at least one of the following: | ||
| - **Merchant** – Add merchants to match against. Choose whether the merchant name **Contains** or **Matches exactly** the text you enter. | ||
| - **Spend category** – Select one or more predefined spend categories (e.g., Airlines, Dining, Hotels, Software, Retail). | ||
| - **Max amount** – Set a maximum transaction amount. Any charge over this amount is declined regardless of merchant or category restrictions. All selected cards must settle in the same currency to set a max amount. | ||
| 8. Click **Save rule**. | ||
