Default EDF don't make sense

Gefreiter Krueger remarked:
Charge cards are particularly useful for business purchases. I can buy
things for my employer, and not have to pay for them personally. At the
end of the month they can pay for them directly.

Then you should have their debit card. I used to do that with my debit card, I simply claimed for them immediately if it was a large
amount.


There's not a concept (as far as I'm aware) of a company debit card with
a "limit".


Why on earth not? All the company has to do is have a seperate current account with a small amount in it.


One each for every employee? What the charge card companies are offering
is the equivalent of that, outsourced without all the admin issues.

Or do what my last place of work did, they got a credit card with a limit they liked, and paid it off fully at the end of each month.


There used to be some issues, tax perhaps, (not sure if they've been
resolved) about issuing credit cards to employees that are paid off by
the employer.

Amex has built an entire empire upon this concept, so don't knock it!


Nobody accepts them. They ought to curl up and die.


Oh, so you are knocking a very successful business model. You'd
presumably be surprised how many places you'd be wanting to charge
business expenses do in fact accept them.
