Not an official policy pronouncement, but: no, you cannot. The small cost makes it worse, but isn't the controlling factor. It's a personal care product. You can't expense shampoo, toothpaste, a hairdryer, a haircut, your weekly manicure, or anything like that. I'm not explaining to my client why they have to pay for your grooming. And the "snack" suggestion is expense fraud...so: no to that one too.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?
