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.

I still have a 35k Marriott free night set to expire 6/30 if anyone wants it. I have titanium status so it should also come with free breakfast and a pretty good upgrade chance (especially if it’s only a one night stay). Let me know if anyone wants to buy at a discount, would much rather see someone use it then it go to waste.
