It’s like the days when I traveled for work, and some bright spark in finance said the bonus points belonged to the company. We had a few go-arounds about it. It got ugly in the company, and I refused to fly. Then about a dozen other employees refused to fly. I still went to customer locations, but I drove. What could be a one day trip to Chicago became 3 days out, one day there, 3 days back. Mileage, food and hotels were easily 4 times the cost of the flights. They backed down.

Boy, I hope you enjoyed driving! And had a bunch of audio books you wanted to listen to.

And there's an easy solution for them, too: pay with the company card. If the company expects me to use my personal financing on their behalf, then I get to keep the benefits.
