You're allocated a certain amount (depending on city) per day. For example, Accenture is typically on the low side so expect around $40-$50 per day. When you do your T&E you just select per diem and you get that amount no matter now much you spend. So you can either eat cheap and pocket the rest, or try to stay around the per diem and you cover anything that goes over. I only use my personal card for meals because everything you put on your Amex automatically can get loaded into T&E and I'd rather not see meal expenses there.

Yes. They track it cause Accenture pays the interest. Part of being a good business operator. I had two councilees that were getting good ratings but got docked down one rating due to it. It's viewed like not taking your required training.

Can my acn colleagues please confirm this is odd or normal since I'm new at the firm?

Well that's what it says and Amex confirmed the limit. And it's gold. Trust me bro I'm as perplexed as you are

OP you don't pay airfare directly

Acn peeps on this thread, can you confirm if you have a spending limit on your card or is it just me? This has hurt my ego and I'm going to get to the bottom of it lol.
