In my case most recent experience has been RBC Visa or BMO Mastercard.
I had previously worked at a company that had Dinners Club, employee feedback before the Canadian dinners cards switched to using Master Card numbers was always negative from employees. After the switch it became a non-issue. The business was looking at making the switch and it so happened that Dinners Card fixed the problem before they go around to switching.
I had worked for a large engineering firm that had AMEX for many years. Employee complaints were common, especially if you were doing a project that involved travel into a rural area are staying in a small town/city. Other business expenses for things like printing companies, catering etc. were a problem.
In Canada, AMEX has a very large corporate account. The Government of Canada. If you put all the federal government employee travel together that is a massive amount of business. In British Columbia, the province I am in, I believe the provincial government is on BMO Master card.
