Does anyone have one of these?
Presently, I have the standard BA Amex Premium Plus, which I use for quite a lot of business expenses, but this unfortunately creates the accounting burden of someone having to go through my statements, differentiate between personal / business spending, then submitting expense claims for the business stuff.
I'd not realised it was possible to get a corporate version of the card, and given I use it primarily for business expenses, it seems it would be a lot more logical to get one through my limited company. After a brief read of the requirements, it seems the mileage accumulation is the same, but I wanted to check the following things:
a) Presumably the mileage can be accumulated onto a standard personal Exec Club account? I don't have OnBusiness or anything like that.
b) Can you hold both the Corporate BA Card and the personal one? Or would I need to give up my personal one if I wanted one through my company?
c) Any other hidden nasties or stuff I should be aware of?
Thanks
I don't have one but have been thinking about getting one.
These cards are often promoted by OnBusiness with bonus OB offers etc.
a) I think the idea is the individual earns Avios and the company earns OB points via the card
b) You can hold both
c) Amex see much keener on issuing these cards to large corporates than smaller ones. You should also consider that if you have an Amex Plat Charge Card if you buy your flight tickets or hotels with the Corporate card then you are not fully covered by Plat travel insurance. Also the 3% loading on FX transactions is ludicrous and entirely avoidable by choosing another card often meaning that you pay 3p per Avios point which is pretty poor value.
