PwC or other Big 4 fish with a 2-swipe rule for your Amex... do you ever swipe more than twice? For example, if I wanted to get coffee after 6 hours of travel, but not have the count as my first swipe

What's the two swipe rule?

like

One swipe for breakfast, one swipe for dinner. Most people just use their breakfast swipe for lunch though

This isn't a hard and fast rule... I've never worried about that.

Damn really? We don't have that rule

Definitely not a written rule. If I want coffee or snacks I swipe away.

never heard of this

Looks like someone made a fool out of you, OP. no such rule.

Do you PwCers swipe lunch?

Depends on the project

I do what the partner/director tells me to. They want lunch we swipe and get lunch. If anyone comes back and audits, I have them just approve it. I don't do anything egregious, so I'm not worried.

That's weird. We can swipe as much as we want, just have to fall within the per diem

EY1, we don't have a per diem.

And you have to use aMex?

This is why Deloitte is the best

@EY1 we don't have per down

*per diem

Ha, OP if you think PwC has a 2 swipe rule you're wrong. Can't even begin to count the number of times I've swiped Starbucks, Jamba, and a convenience store for breakfast

Op I've heard it's a rule of thumb maybe, but don't hesitate to buy coffee snacks etc. (within reason)

A1, yes, we are directed to use our Amex

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
