Making your Company Expenses work for you.
Discussion
I've started a new job recently, and it's been a few years since I've really had to bother claiming expenses.
My new company is pretty flexible about booking hotels etc, so I was wondering what fellow PHs do to maximize their expenses?
For example, do you use a cashback credit card for fuel, hotels, food etc, are there any decent points card or airmiles type things worth considering - anything for the train?
Cheers.

I went down the route of going for an airmiles based card, so all my expenses get put onto my Virgin Black Amex which usually brings in anywhere from 2-5000 miles per month which soon add up.
If the expenses dropped or I was going away less I'd seriously consider switching to one of the cashback cards that are floating round these days.

everything goes on a black Virgin Amex to maximise mileage earnt
prefer to stay in Hilton hotel as I can turn their points into airmiles too and pay with Amex above, get miles twice for same stay
Been doing this for 13 years now, and every year we either have a discount holiday on Virgin holiday vouchers or some free/cheap flights somewhere...usually I have 200-300K miles to spend a year which is 2 upper class tickets virtually anywhere or exchange for cash value holiday vouchers usually 20K miles per £100 off holiday
some others I know at work do similar with BA card and Avios ...really it depends on your own experience on how you wish to spend the miles. I was doing Virgin miles before this job so stuck with it
