Depends how far you want to go with it. Amex will handle charges side but if you file a police report you can maybe help the prosecution. If they called your cell they can track call and go from there. and if it was in the hotel phone system, well... easier. id also report to hotel because either somone is watching your amex or it was at least part inside job.

How has no one asked what they spent 2500 at LOWES for. Is this a contractor needing supplies? A housewife forcing her pool buy to buy a new hot tub. Kids need a new tree house. How do you spend that much that fast... at Lowe's.

You'll be fine. You're about to realize how the fees Amex charges to have their cards are worth every penny. They are awesome when it comes to this stuff. I would file a police report.

You're fine. This is exactly why you're told to use your AMEX, the protection is negotiated as part of the deal and is part of the value they bring to the table. Report it to cover your bases and be honest about what happened. Trust me you're not the first nor will you be the last.

Amex is normally really good about handling things like this. I've had them overnight cards to my hotel and handle everything without a second call.

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
