I am always amazed by the helpfulness of the FT community!

I upgraded to Plat for the travel benefits, in this instance the points-earning aspect wasn't as relevant.

The vast majority of the spending is for work (paying vendors) which wouldn't earn bonuses anyway. One of the perks of the company not having a strict use-the-corporate-card policy.
I actually haven't ever used the points that I've earned for myself: my airline miles I use for family or friends because I want to get the EQM when I fly. I just have the philosophy that earning some points for credit card spending is better than earning no points and I guess now I need to figure out where my priorities are for which points I want to earn.
Thank you!
