Credit Cards - Intrest, Fees, and Bullshit

[WRXtranceformed]

Amazon ain't ballertown by any stretch. EVERYONE flies economy, no matter their title, unless they pay out of pocket for an upgrade.

We can get a travel card, but I declined because I'd rather spend 20 minutes of scanning my credit card bill to than someone else getting my miles. :-)

Yeah we fly economy too unless status drops free upgrades on us. They do give us company paid AMEXes tied into to Concur which is pretty awesome. The only receipt I ever have to occasionally scan is a hotel bill if the hotel chain doesn't have an integration with Concur. Or if I buy a meal at some place that doesn't take AMEX and I have to put it on my personal credit card.

We can subscribe to AMEX rewards if we pay the yearly fee (we get to keep / use the points), but I got a lot more benefit out of that when I used to expense +/- $100k / year in travel, entertainment etc. I still travel a lot in my current role but I don't need to do the client entertainment piece as much. I did the math and it wasn't even really worth it for me to pay the fee to stay enrolled, the yearly rewards were not much more than the fee.
