Amex points suck

like

Points worth about 1% of purchases. If you’re traveling it’s a no brainer.

OP, we don't have to use the corporate card get a CSR or SPG Amex

Well for hotels you should still use something besides an Amex gold

It’s effectively a 1% rebate in the form of gift cards, so your break-even point is spend of $9k. Limited gift card options, but Home Depot is one so it’s nice to make some upgrades at home for practically nothing. Less favorable redemption rate for Amex gift cards, so stay away from that if you’re the practical type.

Worth it

I have my corporate card and a personal Amex enrolled, and you only have to pay the annual fee once. The points really add up.

You can use Amex points to book Airbnb, and it's a pretty good point value.

My project doesn’t use WBS to Book Air Travel but we have to use an AMEX to book it, just not the Corp Amex. So I’m weighing just using that with the $90 for points or getting another card

Yuck. So I’m hearing getting a different card.

No idea. Our project is heavy international travel so it’s fine for some reason? No idea. But been confirmed by our PMO team.

It's not against policy, just book directly and put in the receipt. Get project approval if audited and you're all good.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago
