If the card is opened in your name (and you take the credit hit for not paying it) then they legally can’t make you use it in CA. There was a lawsuit 7-8 years ago that Amex lost over the employer forced bundling. If the company auto-pays the card then you have to use it.

Wait what

💳Credit card help💳 Starting a new job in two weeks. The new company does not give a corporate card, so I get to pick my own. If things were normal and I was traveling / spending as usual, getting the CSR or AMEX platinum would make sense. But with things the way they are, what should I do? Work related expenses will be minimal, but Im moving/furnishing an apartment so personal spend will be decent. TIA!
