Question
My company's corporate card earns nothing. Yep, nada.
I'm hoping someone could suggest a Visa or MC (not Amex due to some weird predilections here) for a company --
that is, a card where the bill is sent to one corporate master account, with subaccounts for employees (probably 10 or so).
I'm looking for a card where purchases on each subaccount earn miles/points for the master account. (Could those miles then be transferred to anyone's mileage program?)
Lots of advice/help needed! Thanks! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
Answer
gleff,
From your profile, i think the best card for you is the MBNA Amtrak card..it can be transferred 1:1 to UA miles.

Thanks, Afang... my specific questions are:
1. would it work as a corporate card?
2. can you transfer points into ANY mileage account, or is it limited to a specific person (e.g. primary corporate contact, etc.)
What I'm interested in doing is earning points for the company,and then spending those points when possible on uniquely expensive travel.
Thanks!

There is also the Citi AAdvantage Business card. You can get up to 25 employee cards. All miles earned go into the owner's (primary's) mileage account. Max. mileage is 150K (waived if AA elite member). 7,500 bonus miles at approval.
Owner could then easily use miles earned from this card to pay for business travel for any employee - although the mileage would be in his/her personal account (faster lifetime status!)

For my business (made up of three people), we'd like a single account with three cards that post miles to EACH of our respective AA accounts. Right now, we each charge our own business expenses to our personal Citi AAdvantage cards and then get reimbursed, which is cumbersome. Does anyone have any advice?
Answer
Why doesn't the company pay each of the credit card bills directly and eliminate the reimbursement step?
Answer
Another possibility is to use Diners Club Mastercard. One of you would be the primary cardholder, the other two would be supplementary. All charges would appear on consolidated bill, segregated by card. Each dollar spent will generate one Club Rewards point. The points will be aggregated in a single account, but can be transferred as required to any of the three cardholders' accounts at AA, other airlines, hotel programs, etc.
This solution is not perfect. The primary cardholder is ultimately responsible for all charges. Diners charges $0.95 per 1,000 for transfers to airline programs. Redemptions can only be made in set increments which means you cannot automatically transfer out the exact amount you earned each billing cycle.
On the other hand you pay only one bill, receive one annual summary, and gain the flexibility to transfer to programs other than AA if you prefer.
Diners does offer "corporate" programs which would probably more closely match your ideal, but I do not know if they are interested in firms with only three cardholders.
