I vaguely remember them offering that as a convenience but I just held on to receipts and submitted an expense report

Yes. I interviewed as a lateral and got an AMEX just for travel expenses etc.

like

Yes, they do this for interviews.

No that’s bizarre

When I did undergrad recruiting I just submitted expense for reimbursement

It was actually quite nice because then I didn’t even have to file any expenses for the travel, since everything got directly routed to them

Yes, and the validity is just till your interview date. Sorry to pop your bubble if you thought this was a sign.

Yes

Yup I did that
