Besides he being my friend the relationship is that I am a seasonal contractor, not exactly a W-2 employee. I also possess the company's debit card which my friend would prefer to use, because it is simple and straightforward. But if I can just pay for the flights with my cc, get points, and then (legally) get reimbursement from the company in form of cash, I would prefer that.

So if this is ordinary and possible, what is the paperwork we need? Anyone knows?
In this situation, if it was me, I'd use the company debit card. There's always the possibility for the expenses to become mis-classified when doing contractual work, and it sounds like your friend would prefer you to use the debit card anyway.
