Some do, most don’t allow this. Most companies get a refund in the 1.5-2.5% range per transaction on AMEX Corporate card spend and link corporate card spend to expense fraud analytics, so if you bypass that you both deny your employer some money and increase your expense audit risk.

You’d have to use corporate card if below Senior Manager level. Above Senior Manager level, you could apply for a corporate plat. I’m saying this since your title says SM Manager, so you might come in as an SM. This is at Deloitte btw.

D3 is correct. SMs and above can get the fee reimbursed if they travel over a certain number of round trips per year. Levels below SM must pay for the upgrade themselves.

BCG uses a booking tool, so no credit card points (only miles). Reimbursed for hotel though.

OW strongly encourages use of the corporate card. You can guess what actually happens in practice...

Thank you all!! Happy Holidays 😊

So basically, when one accrues points on a card, it’s usually on the corporate card, and I can use those miles for my family trips or anything I like? Do employers care how I use the points I accrue on the card? What kind of cards do big 4 and mbb usually use

Anyone at D is eligible for platinum. Not just SM or above. The fee can be expensed for SM or above.
