20 years ago, we had a soldier buy some electronics at the PX with his GovCC. When caught, he got the treatment then kicked out of the Army. But not before the First Sergeant made him stand in the common area all day long with a large cardboard sign hanging from neck that said "I am a thief, I used my GCC to buy a stereo." The sign had been hand-drawn to look like an AMEX card too.

Justice in the infantry battalions was always up a notch and creative.

I worked for Amex, it was amazing how F’d up the Govt reimbursement process was.

A huge majority of the military people wanted to pay, but they just refused to pay before they got reimbursed.

On the other hand Microsoft Corp cards especially when the holder was .Indian and went back to India never ever paid.

I remember a Saudi Prince who had cranked a few hundred thousand on his card and got a charge denied at A strip club. He told me flat out that he had been insulted by this and would not pay until he felt Amex had suffered enough for his loss of face. (I randomly checked 5 years later, and no never paid )
