Using a corporate AMEX to buy personal US savings bonds sounds like a fool-proof recipe to get fired. Hope that won't be the case here, but the miles are not worth risking your job.</font>
Not unless you own the whole corporation. One must then fire themselves for using their card not correctly.
But, seriously, I have a corporate travel card (issued by Citibank). The bank sends me the bill, which I must pay myself. I must submit documentation for reimbursement. My employer won't get bent out of shape if there is some small purchase there that they don't understand in which I paid it immediately. Buying $10,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds on the card is another story. I don't think I'm going to try that.
