How many of you use your personal travel cards to book flights/hotels instead of your corporate card and manually expense it so you can still max out on points? I’m overwhelmed at the thought of such high balances on my card.. please share any tips and tricks! TIA

You will get quickly reprimanded if you do this at Deloitte. Flights/hotels on a personal card are an immediate alert for the expense team and doing it repeatedly/not in an emergency will get you fired.

Oh did not know this was against policy, had some friends talk about how this is what they do so thought it was fine. Have no desire to go against policy haha thank you!

At PwC you could pay like $80 a year to get your Amex points from the corporate card. Does Deloitte have a similar program?

Yes. $55/year.

On one project, we, including PMO, informed the expense police that the client required we use their branded credit card. Client did have a branded card, but didn't care if we used theirs, but none of us got in trouble

That’s pretty creative! Kudos!

I think some smaller firms let you do this, but would not fly at deloitte

Yale SOM (no $) or Johnson with a full ride? Goal is consulting (not MBB or bust but MBB is the target) in New York City. Will have to take out nearly full tuition loan for Yale.

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
