[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little unclear on the problem. It sounds like the problem is that they're not reimbursing you quickly enough, is that right?

I work from home and travel and put all of my business expenses on my personal card. I get reimbursed within two to three weeks if I put it in straightaway.[/quote]

OP here. That's part of the problem, currently. Since the buyout A&P has been totally screwed up. I filed my expenses a month ago -- some people even longer, like right before the buyout 2 months ago -- and there have been no reimbursements issued yet. In the meantime, the interest racks up, and that is not something we are allowed to expense, to my knowledge. But maybe I'll push back on that too.

The other part of the problem is the mixing of personal and work expenditures on the credit card. I incur a lot of small expenses weekly that add up (mileage, parking, meals out for work, etc) even when not traveling. They just get bigger when traveling. It drives DH nuts because he's trying to get everything paid down and keep track of all expenditures. OCD + control freak...so no bueno there.

Thanks for the advice, PPs. I can't see him agreeing to me getting another credit card when we're trying to boost our credit ahead of the new home purchase (not that we have bad credit, we both have very good to excellent), but I'll run it by him. Maybe he'll agree it's better than the current setup. But then again, he thinks this can be resolved by me refusing to incur any expenses whatsoever until I get a company card (which could be never, who knows?). Of course, it can't, because I do have to do my job. Oh, he does also think I need to find a new job, like, yesterday...but that's another thread.

Thanks for the advice so far!  :D [/quote]

I got Dh his own cc that I make him use just for travel. I even put a picture of a plane on the capital one card so he knows. Makes it very easy for him to voucher since all the parking, rental car, hotel and gas fees go on there. [/quote]
