Can we use Amex travel to book our personal trips and just not expense it?

Wouldn’t you need an engagement code to book?

I'd imagine your firm has policies against personal expenses on the corporate card. If you have a personal Amex then yes you can use Amex Travel and book it to that.

You technically can (from a technology perspective). The engagement code doesn't matter when booking- only when it's expensed. You just have to pay the booking fee yourself too.

But the policy does state that you aren't supposed to use AmEx card for personal expenses, but don't see how it really affects EY negatively. They claim to use the AmEx charges to forecast spending and negotiate new travel rates but don't really see that being highly effective.

Also- often times you can call the hotel / airline / rental car agency and request the corporate rate. We also have CDP codes you can input for the online booking

How would I get those cdp codes?

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
