Corporate Reimbursement Card
A corporate gig I am looking at has pilots pay for meals and the company reimburses the pilots for the amount of the meals up to a certain dollar figure (pretty high in my opinion). The company pays for hotels on a company card they give pilots but sounds like a lot of pilots put everything (food, hotels, car, gas) on their personal card and get it all reimbursed.
I suppose they do this so they can get the points on their credit cards. If I start flying for this company, does anyone have any recommendations for credit cards that could be used for something like this that would get some pretty good rewards (cash back, hotels, etc)
Right now I have the Southwest credit card but I don't fly much on them so would like to get something else.
Thanks!

Hotel, airline, or a cashback card.
I like the cash back card so you are not locked into a points system that you may or may not use anytime soon.
Be sure to keep good records and save all of those receipts and expense reports so you can prove that "extra" money was not income.

Using a combination of company and personal cards is pretty common. I once worked for a company that was undergoing an expansion. Their new deal was to do exactly that. Soon after, both pilots and the company started getting phone calls from the CC company. CC company asked why are you paying the bill off every month? You don't need to do that! Unbelievable but true!
