Dumb question: Why would we get a travel credit card (CSR, AAdvantage, etc.) when we have to book travel thru our corporate card, so we aren't even going to reap the benefits of traveling every week?

Many of us don't book on corp cards. Even then, the signing bonus well worth it, if only for a year. After that, still think $150 net fee for lounge access, Luxury Collection benefits, and 3x points on personal easily pays for itself.

Don't book on corporate cards? That's huge! I see where you are coming from.

Great fucking point!
