Chase Saphire CC. What's the deal? I see it mentioned every now and then and wondering why. Is this the go-to CC for consultants the way SPG is preferred for hotel points? Please illuminate 🙏

Lol A1 you poor child. OP, the "official" rule at ACN is that we 'have' 🙄 to use our corporate Amex for work related expenses. But literally no one does, our policy is super lax and everyone uses their personal for all expenses except flights. For flights we have to use our internal booking tool and tie it to a WBS. I've racked up some MAAAJOORRRRRRRE points on my chase sapphire the 5 years I've been here.

There's 2 sapphires now: preferred and reserve. Reserve is 3X points but with a $450 annual fee (you get $300 travel credit back, so effectively $150 annual). And preferred is 2X points for $95 annual. Get the reserve if you can.

2x points on all travel, preferred gets you 15% discount on points travel booked through their site...they used to give you a 7% dividend on all spend but they got rid of that. Transfer to united, etc..solid 'consultant' card

If you are sure that you will be flying a certain airline or be at a certain hotel for a long time then getting the specific airline/hotel CC is a better deal in my opinion. It will get you a huge boost of points right upfront if you meet the spend requirement (especially if you are using it for the airline/hotel) - if you don't want to manage it all separately then Chase S is a good way to fo

Nice. Didn't know other firms accepted use of non -Amex. You can use that at Accenture??? At PwC we can only use Amex.

Nope, Amex only

A1 you can use whatever you want. For flights you have to use WBS or Amex, no rules on anything else.

Thanks again. So is Chase Saphire then the way to go when it comes to getting a CC? Any other good ones worth considering?

Haha y'all could have ran with me at least for a little bit..

Op you can technically use your CSR or CSP instead of the classic, boring Amex at PWC as well. It's not actually advertised and you will have to send in all receipts if you do that. I have a colleague who does it and just sets aside an hour or something every other Friday to email in all the receipts. Depends on your preference of how much time you want to spend in order to get the points.
