For those of us that have to expense everything on the corporate AMEX, is it better to get a personal Platinum Amex over the Chase Sapphire?

Depends on how you are going to use the rewards that come with those cards. I used my Amex platinum benefits to the max in those glorious pre-covid travel days. My favorite perk was my weekly visit to the airport Centurion club before flying home - such a wonderful place of relaxation, tranquility, and a parade of interesting people with expensive luggage. Now I sit alone...

You can get a $150 annual fee discount on the personal Platinum through your corp card membership. At a $400 AF, I'd say the Amex Plat is better. You'd break even on the fee with just the Uber and Delta credits

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
