Do other big firms allow you to use your personal card for expenses? I was at the big 4 about 15 years ago and they didn’t really care if I did as a staff. My current firm is very strict about it and not sure if that’s just how the whole industry is now.

Deloitte - firm Amex required.
PwC - Firm Amex required
Accenture- more freedom (only flights required on firm Amex) I used to do hotels and food on my personal card.
West Monroe - friend used to put all spend on personal
A&M - friend puts all spend on personal.

At EY it is against policy to use the EY Corporate Amex for personal expenses. Use of the Corporate Amex is required for all business expenses with very limited exceptions (like the business does not take Amex.)

like

Yes, apparently the firm gets 'benefits' from Amex based upon spend.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the opposite. I want to use my personal card for work expenses (to get airline points or cash back). The firm requires Amex but I feel like the firm isn’t getting enough benefit than I am otherwise losing.

At Protiviti we can. Doesn’t matter.

Generally the reverse here. You can’t use firm card for personal expenses. If you use a personal card, you would have to show proof and the expense claim process is more onerous/subject to audit. But I don’t think it’s specifically disallowed.

Not allowed here

KPMG US is firm Amex. Not true in some of our other member firm countries where they don’t even get a card.

Accenture doesn’t care which card u use

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
