What is the best credit card if you exclusively expense hotels? McK makes me use my corporate card for everything else (and flights are booked centrally). Also - should I pay the fee for Amex points?

Probably should pay the fee. If you travel often for work then you’ll earn back points worth more than the fee.

Most likely will just be the respective hotel card for your preferred chain to be honest.

probs the hotel card or amex plat/csr. i can refer you for the bonvoy card!

CSR is 3x pts on travel

Thanks guys! I have the Marriott card already but I always see people posting about CSR and Amex plat and worried I was missing out on something

I suggest Amex plat if you also fly a lot. Happy to refer as well😇
