At WTEY (EY) I was told that we have to reserve hotel and flight, and spend on the Corp Amex when in travel. Can I use my own credit card on all expenses to collect Visa points without being audited or not reimbursed?

It's only $100/year... Still not as good as other rewards cards you likely carry in your wallet, but definitely better than nothing!

They are generally fine with the hotel charges because even if you import them, they still have to manually check the folio. They're just trting to avoid a large amount of receipt checks across the firm.

A lot of people switch in their personal card at the hotel without issue. I know some who even use their personal in AMEX travel to book flights and say they’ve been fine. But on the flipside, one colleague was audited for expensing too many cabs/meals/etc. on her personal. So you have to choose what level of risk you’re comfortable with. I also would not advocate doing any of this in the first 6 months or so.

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then. What are some ways I can support the moms and make it an enjoyable experience for them? We have a separate room at the venue that I was thinking could be offered to the parents to use, or potentially hiring a babysitter for them (either at the venue or back at the hotel). I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
