[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't sure if this should go here or in money and finance, but I think it's a job question.

How many of you have to incur job-related expenses on your own credit card and file for reimbursement? I used to have a company card but we were recently bought out and not only have we not gotten new cards OR reimbursements for previously filed expenses, we don't know when we will get either. In the mean time, I'm racking up expenses on my own high-interest credit card. DH is freaking out and saying I have to put my foot down and refuse to charge anything. We are getting ready to buy a new house so I can't have my credit card balance super high.

I have put up a big fuss and gotten some things taken care of that others haven't (like airfare for work travel put on company president's purchase card), but I can't exactly refuse to do my job either. I have a work trip coming up and I'm dreading the fight that's going to inevitably come from charging incidentals and possibly the hotel (that's another fuss I'm making and may get covered in advance).

So I guess I'm asking, in addition to my original question, if anyone has any advice for me. It's rather stressful. My boss is understanding but can only do so much -- the company card and reimbursement issues are not her doing nor problems she can solve herself, but she also is making a fuss on my team's behalf because we all are incurring expenses on personal cards.[/quote]
