If on the other hand it's a company card, I am surprised they let him keep the cash back. I had an Am Ex corporate card, and I never got squat from it.

Whenever I have had a company card I never used it. Why let the company get the benefits.

I use my amex instead of cash because I get rewards from it. I even upgraded to the fancy card to get more rewards. I get great pleasure out of working the system for 3 and 4x points. I got 44,000 frequent flier miles out of buying a case of wine last week, that's a trip and a half. You can get 4-6X points through various programs they have on regular purchases. I don't use it because it keeps me from getting into financial trouble

Think I misunderstood your question - did you mean personal v. business? Or what cashback category (the way I read it the first time)?

Amex Blue FTW. And it has no annual fee.

Really? That's a ton of charging. $25,000 minimum, and that's using the highest cashback category.

Tell me something I don't know, I pay the bills every month.

I've spent 1/3 of that on one vacation.

And this is per year, not monthly, so I don't get what's so hard to believe about it.
