Using Personal Card for Business?

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:02:44 GMT

My company allows their employees to use their own credit card for company purchases and reimburses us within seven business days via live check. I spend about $5k to $7k a month on business expense with about half of it going towards EZ Pass (travel expense?) and the rest on resteraunts, meals, office repairs, parking tickets, and online advertisements.

I was looking at a business card but you need to enter information about the business and such. I was wondering how that worked. I would want to reap the benefeits of rewards and improve my credit. The amount I spend on travel and dining each month it makes sense to get the CSR card I am assuming.

Business cards are meant for business owners, not for people who work for a company and get reimbursed for business expenses. That's why you need to enter the actual business info.

You don't even need a business card if you own a business, but there are some benefits to it.

You can use the CSR for those business expenses. It looks like you'd get a ton of points from doing so. EZ Pass does code as travel, so that's a big win for you. I'm just a little curious. I use EZ Pass often, but how in the world do you spend $2.5k to $3.5k a month??? That's a lot!

Why not get a EZ Pass thru your work.. or have them bill your work directly?

I imagine truckers could easily do that much in a month in the right part of the country.
