I'm a little surprised that the Biz Cent categories revolve around luxury spend. I imagine attempting to buy any kind of luxury good on my corporate card would trigger all sorts of red flags from compliance (e.g. am I trying to bribe someone?)

What kind of business has a legitimate, or at least, reasonable, rationale for spending $6M/yr. on say, handbags or watches?
