That should work since my Corporate card is not direct billed but comes to me which I pay with the reimbursement money.
Has anyone done anything like that?

Sweet way to beat the system. It should get you through Accounts Payable processing, if they are even checking. Given the volume of transactions at a major Corporation, I doub't anyone is even checking.
IMO, if you have to go through the hassle of submitting reports, waiting for reimbursement and paying off the card personallly, you should use what you want. I used to analyze corporate travel and at best, AMEX will give some transactional information on travel spend by broad categories - Hotel, Air, Car, Meals, etc in even broader categories of cities. It wasn't too helpful to me.
