You are, I think, the exception. My only question is why these cards are needed at all. They look to be an invitation to waste, fraud and abuse. I've worked for a number of very large entities and, with one exception, NEVER had, or needed, a Company Credit Card. Advances and use of my own cards was always sufficient and, at times, my monthly expenses exceeded $20,000. I'm Army. I have one for government travel. Need it because I'm TDY, and the logistics of settling my lodging & meals is easier than reimbursing me on a travel voucher.
But I use mine very judiciously.

Are you Army JAG. Thought you were a law school student, or did you already graduate?

The military had this strange idea that they could dump these credit cards on every rank of soldier, and they act surprised when the cards get misused. I never took one. Always put it on my own card and then let them reimburse me. As long as I filed the paperwork quickly, there was never a finance charge.
But, I had resources that a young enlisted guy simply didn’t have. And I understood how per diem and reimbursements worked.
