Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express

Depends on the firm. I’ll rank scenarios in order of best to worst:
1. You buy flights on personal card (CC points) and expense it, plus list your frequent flyer account number with the purchase. You can redeem both points as if they’re your own.
2. You buy flights with company card / charge code (no CC points). Still list frequent flyer number and collect airline points on your own.
3 Firm requires you to book through 3rd party (Expedia, CWT, etc) and you can’t collect points from any part of the transaction.

Interesting, could you possibly list different firms and where they fit into this framework?

Varies company to company. Most want you to use corporate card for everything.
you just create an account with the airline, all your flights with that airline are linked it doesn't matter how you pay.
It does matter how you pay because when most people say points they’re talking about credit card points. And I’ve accrued more points through my credit card spend on travel than I do comparatively in miles from the airlines I fly on
At Cap, we expense all travel on our corporate cards, but we can link our personal hotel/airlines accounts to rack up the points for personal use. There's also a rewards program for our corporate AmEx where we get to use the rewards $ for personal as well.
Points account is tied to user and agnostic to credit card
Except to get more, especially with an airline branded credit card.
Make sure to check the policy of the firm you are joining on how to book travel - if you aren’t sure, ask your manager
