What's the point of having a corporate AMEX if you have to pay the bill yourself first?
(show of hands everyone, who has a corporate AMEX, not discover, visa or mc, but an AMEX, that does not get paid directly from your company?) Sounds more like a personal card at that point. Sure, if you have bad credit and/or are a foreign worker, you may not qualify for a personal CC and your company has to "sponsor" your credit card, but this is probably an extreme example.

"What's the point of having a corporate Amex if you have to pay the bill yourself?" Well, for one thing, the annual fee is paid by the company and not by the employee. Believe it or not, there are still apparently corporate Amexes where the employee (not the company) pays the bill!
