Basic credit card/expensing question. Joining McK as EM (Fall 2022).

My question is specific to hotel reservations - can I put these on a personal card or do these have to go on the corporate Amex?

Hotel & Travel are usually booked by the office. You don’t get to book them & it’s against policy.

Everything on the folio

Book via corp Amex but can pay by your personal card later. You also can put loyalty # in your travel profile.

And absolutely don’t pay for the upgrade on corp Amex. It’s a waste.
