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 folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
