Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Makes no sense to me. My corporate card bill goes right to accounting, accounting hands me a copy so I can attach the receipts for the billing period, and it gets paid.

If I forget to put a business expense on my card and take it out-of-pocket, I just fill out an expense report and I get it in the following paycheck.

yup. Dh's works that way. and the companywas often slow to pay - which worked until people started paying the bills late and couldn't travel.

and it is a corporate card because the ultimate responsibility for the card is the company.

For whatever that's worth. If you pay late, it goes on your credit. If you don't pay, the collectors come after you.

I guess they take care of the annual fee?

I get emails from our accounting system when new charges hit my Amex to ping me to go in and allocate them. If approvals are needed those get sent and the system pays the card. Easy peasy, but also - the company is so much more in control this way, so I can't see how it's not a win on both sides.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

huh, ok. I guess much more common than I realized. I've always worked where a business card could ONLY be used for business expenses and the company paid the bill, but you had to supply receipts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

If you pay late, it goes on your credit. If you don't pay, the collectors come after you.

The company I was talking about didn't do that - the card had your name on it, but the card was in the name of the actual company. It was the employees paying the cards off late that finally got them to speed up their pay cycles on expense reports.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of shoes, I just got a bunch of boots delivered. (Yay! Somewhat less cranky now, although I still have the headache from the flowers.) The Aerosoles weren't so hot, so it's down to these two:

Votes? The first one has a more square toe and a slight platform. I think I'm leaning toward the second one.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm jealous of Jesse's boots. After voting, I headed over to Famous Footwear to go boot-shopping, only to find that they only had one pair of boots in my size, and they were too tall (I couldn't get my foot down into them). And, they won't be getting any more until next fall.

Grrrr.

Our Uni has two kinds- A Corporate American Express which you have to pay (and can use for personal stuff) and a P-Card which is a visa and the company pays directly. But you can't use the P-card for travel, or books, or food, so you have to use the Amex.

I think it is only the Amex Corporate card where you are ultimately responsible for the charges. Of course this impression is based on the fact that Dave Ramsey is always railing on companies that make you front the charges, but particularly Amex, for that very reason.

What kind of sample size is that? Pfft. I like high heels, but come on, now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
