The company owns the AMEX card and I GET the benefits (AMEX points) because I've signed up for that feature and pay an annual AMEX fee for it.
Is it AmEx or bust, or would the company let you shop this card? If you have any control here, that could be a good way to maximize, as others said. The credit card board on here tends to like Chase as they have cards that are 5x for office supply and URs can be used in a lot of good ways in addition to cashing out.
But I had an ephiphany yesterday while reading this thread that I might be able to be clicking through the airline portal AND another site like RMN or cash back monitor.... but I'm likely wrong about that.
Right, so, one clickthrough per transaction. The link you use has a unique code that reports back to the cashback/airline points outlet. You can't simultaneously click twice. There are other cashback methods based on you inputting the credit card number onto their platform (Dosh, rapid rewards dining) where they then get notification of where you are spending and you can earn money/points for spending in certain places. In that case, you can double dip if the retailer you are shopping has rewards on one of those platforms and a good clickthrough. Use the clickthrough to get first point, card usage is reported to the service that's tracking your card, you get awarded by the second service. HOWEVER, I don't know if your company would even want you putting a corporate number onto a site like that, nor do I know how much overlap there may be with the types of retailers those programs give awards for versus the spending you are doing.
