My Amex corporate card was declined..not sure what to do? Or what to tell my boss? I currently have an Amex gold, which I pay off completely before the due date every month. I also had a corporate Amex card in my prior job, which was always kept current and I recently got a car which I have been paying every month since getting it. I am just confused on what to do because I need to book a job trip with it, and the Amex decision will also be given to my manager. I’ve never gotten a amex declined

I would start by calling Amex to figure out what is going on.

PwC’s AmEx goes on your credit report? EY’s does not. I’d be surprised if they look at any of our credit histories for the corporate AmEx. Your credit history was reviewed prior to being hired. It would have been part of your background check so I wouldn’t worry. Definitely follow up with AmEx and/or HR.

Can you share outcome of this?? I never actually considered this being an option, like how does this happen? It’s a corporate card, part of your job haha. And with your history sounds like it must’ve been a mistake by Amex

It said that I had an account (medical bill) that had been charged off, but that was in 2018 and I had that handled. I’ve never had this issue being rejected because of this.

You can always see if Amex will reconsider. I think my friend got denied when we first started and he was able to appeal.

Maybe worst case - you buy the ticket/hotel on your personal card. You can expense the trip pretty quickly if you can’t afford to pay for the trip for a little while.

Do we have to apply for a corporate credit card? I'm a new hire and will have to go through this as well, and don't really want a hit on my credit right now. So, can I just opt out of it until it becomes an inconvenience to not have one?

Did you ever get this resolved?

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
