@vin_ann,
Y should auditor's query?! I too 'volunteer' to pay my office utility bills; except I go through Citibank cause I can't do it via my Amex CC *sigH*

@ Tinkerbel,

y ar? im also not sure.

but the proper way is using company money to pay directly. as company is a separate entity, not belong to you.

there is no problem if one uses his/her credit card to pay company bills or bill issued in the name of the company as long as the amount reimbursed to the individial is the same amount. Is the same as if the individual when to pay bills using cash and the company reimburse him/her later.

Actually, the individual benefits from doing above as he/she will get reward points and at the same time no loss or gain for the company comes end of financial year.

I used to pay my own flight ticket, hotel bills, meals, etc. while travelling for work. At that time, my points were accumulating fast. Now no more, sit in office. Points slow-moving already.

no query one la... someone pays it and then reimburse back. Those payments can be seen and verified from the next month bills.. why need to query?

I don't think that will matter.

You can also use your company card to swipe for personal stuffs as long as you pay back.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Better not. Later boss/finance ask what is Lollita, or some dolls, or what/where is this Emanuelle

The less queries, the better. Use personal CC.

Corporate card has very high limit.

ya. somemore if the bosses want get rid of some1, he will find high n low of your mistake.

i have a qns regarding the 1st billing date

if the card is issued on 18th June, is the 1st billing/statement date 18th July?

not really will be at 18th of June , however you may call up CS to check with them, using online banking to see the bill cycle date, or just wait the statement reach your mailbox.

@vin_ann,
I volunteered to 'inconvenience' myself to make such payments for the office; I just have to make sure I do not claim twice or that would make it CBT. Otherwise, someone in the office just needs to go to the post office which is quite far away [last time, post office was downstairs but the new office is in a 'jungle'] hence to make things easier, I offered to pay the bills using my M2U or CC.

Then again, I've been with the same boss for almost a decade so perhaps the trust is there? *shrugs*

@David83,
Absolutely right! And I haven't gotten into any kind of trouble.

To those holding the Citibank-Giant credit card, please be informed that the maximum rebate for the card in one year is capped at RM600. I didn't receive any rebate for my spending in the last few months due to this. So Sad!

That's RM30,000 spending in Giant (2% rebate) !!! You are really a Giant supporter..eh ?

RM60k to spend @ Giant is indeed quite a bit but well, perhaps she changed all her electrical items?! On groceries alone it might not be so possible but with the many items Giant sells, it's not 100% impossible!

Then it's just better to get the Standard Chartered JustOne, since it's 2% rebate for all retail purchases and you need not limit your shopping at Giant

You just have to fully settle your cc debt and your application can be approved then.

60k spent in Giant within a few months? I wonder what the most expensive stuff in Giant is. Besides purchasing electrical and furniture items, she's probably involved in F&B business which requires her to buy in bulk on a very frequent basis.

Please note that max cash rebate of SCB Just1 is capped at RM600 per year.

I tried to use this cc at both Shell counter and self-service terminal, but it failed. It has been confirmed that Shell doesn't recognise this cc for the time being.

Should not be the case since my UOB Preferred Platinum was approved 1 week later with 30k credit limit... SCB is kiasu.

Erh, don't mean to be pouring cold water on you but RM30K for a plat card means UOB low balled you FYI my OCBC Gold back in the early 90' already started out with RM30K already (almost 20 yrs ago)

yes, you are pouring cold water on me...

90's time I was still in primary school... wah, you must be very senior liao now.
