What cards do you use to maximize points when you travel for work. I currently have the CSP and put all expenses there hotel, car, food. Do you use a certain card for hotel for example Marriott when you stay there and put food in other card? What is your strategy?

If I stay at a Marriott or Hyatt, I use the hotel branded card for those expenses and use my Sapphire for everything else. The extra points bonus with the branded cards usually outweighs the value of the Sapphire points.

…I pay the extra to get points on my corporate Amex and then use those points on my personal account.

I bet a lot of us have expense policies that forbid using personal cards for work-related expenses.
