Yes, I work at a very big company and we have company credit cards in our names that we have to pay off and then claim expenses back from the firm. So essentially we are loaning money to company interest free for a few weeks.

I can claim back fees etc but it's never come to that bc I always pay my balance in full by the due date.

It works like this everywhere. The only exception I can think of is Google where my husband works. They have an in house travel agent that you book with and you never have to pay and claim back, except for meals on the road, but never for big things like flights and hotels.

Says who that it works like this everywhere? I work for a small company and people are issued company credit cards they are not required to use their personal credit cards. 
On the other hand, my husband works for a large company and is required to put travel expenses on his own personal card which I think is a whole lot of BS. [/quote]

The big company I work for does issue us company CCs however they are in our names and all liabilities on those cards are personal and it is our own credit on the line. However we get paid back our expenses in a very timely way (3-5 business days) and the whole thing is a well oiled machine. Majority of big companies do approach expenses in the this way, I should know, I'm a career consultant![/quote]

NP here. Awesome, we have a career consultant, which means they know everything (because we already told them the answers) and they can put it into a slick deck, present it back to us, and charge us a rich fee for the privilege!

Seriously, you can't speak for "everywhere". My company is large, issues credit cards, it's not reported on my credit report.  We have 30,000 employees and 10,000 with pcards if you want a comparator for scale.

BTW, any company that lets you book your own travel on your personal card and does not ask for boarding passes with the expensive documentation is asking for fraudulent behavior. [/quote]
