For those consultants that have to use the company issued Amex Green Corporate card: How do you earn points on travel? Any other options besides upgrading to the Amex Corporate Gold or Platinum?

If you value the points at about 10,000 points = $100 in gift card redemptions, the breakeven point of the program is $9000 to recoup the annual fee which is extremely easy to hit with even a light travel load.

I don’t recommend corporate platinum . The points are still one point per dollar spend.

I got the AmEx everyday card so I can use my points on purchases

Have to pay 90 for membership rewards a year. Barely worth it

You earn one AMEX point per dollar spent then can use them to redeem for travel (pay with points) or transfer to a good number of travel programs.

I have the personal platinum but have always kept the corporate card as the green card. They share the pool of earned points

Thanks. Does anyone here recommend the Amex Platinum Corp Card?

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
