Or through an expense policy..

E1/E2 There's policy and there's "policy" *wink wink*. We are the former. Any non usage of your Amex (some leniency for food) gets a response from the expense team

Of course they prefer AMEX but curious if I can get away with it for points for hotels. Go away EY peasants.

When I started in consulting my dad (EVP at BofA) gave me a few pieces of advice. The first one was, "never make them question your expense reports." Just stick with the Amex and pay the $75 to keep the points (assuming you have a personal Amex account).

What ev's rookie

lol, you heard him peasant, scram!

Don't bother trying. You really want to put yourself at risk for breaking policy (a fireable offense) for a few points?

Don't do it, especially hotels, flights, and rental cars.
