Was notified that $500 of AMEX travel credits will expire in 30 days... I assume we are not allowed to use this for personal travel?

Correct. If it expires, the firm reclaims it.

This is for AMEX Platinum only? If you pay for the annual fee out of your pocket, you should own the credit

OP, everyone gets credit from a cancelled trip. It has nothing to do with the platinum card. I’m a former platinum card holder myself — maybe you are getting it mixed up with the $100 airline fee credit? Lots of other posts here on how to use that.

The travel team has protocols in place to handle unused credit from cancelled trips. Using those funds for personal travel would amount to fraud.

Sure you can. Just turn in a negative expense for it

I do pay for the fee out of pocket, does that change anything @EY1?

Sorry OP, thought you were talking about credits from a cancelled business trip. Didn’t realize the AMEX corporate platinum includes a $500 credit?

Nope, you had it right the first time EY1, the credits are from a cancelled ticket. I think the other poster is pointing out that I wouldn’t get the credit in the first place if I didn’t have a platinum card (which we pay out of pocket for).

All these weddings are blowing my mind and budget. I've had 5 weddings so far this year with several more to go by EoY.

The cost of a bachelor party + shitty men's warehouse suit rental + travel and airbnb for the weekend + couple hundred bucks for wedding gift means I'm blowing tons of money for these weddings but I feel bad to say no.
