Respectfully disagree.

While I agree that having my Company pay for a majority of my stays is "sweet", I'm not gaining any personal benefit besides these points, such as added pay. And I suffer from lack the lack of free time to spend with family, friends, house and persue interests and hobbies during these many, many trips.

I would hope that anyone who charges a $1MM in personal expenditures would HAVE to do so ANYWAY with cash or other means. Otherwise, that's a pretty sad way to spend your hard earned money.

Using a CC given the offers and deals out there today is just smart icing on the cake. I do it too and never pay cash where a CC is taken. If we could only get our mortgage, real estate and income taxes paid (without the 2.49% surcharge), could you imagine the glut of points out there?

But like same concept with FF miles, it just dilutes the available award inventory for us all.
