<prompt> Human: This seems like a huge red flag to me. A bit of background - My job requires me to travel quite a bit, and all expenses incurred are paid out of pocket and then reimbursed at the end of the month with my paycheque. I make under 25k per year, so this is not an ideal situation for obvious reasons. When myself and a team member brought up that its difficult for us to afford these trips, the boss who is the CEO of the company said that we should take out personal credit cards, put all business expenses on them, and then pay them off when we get reimbursed at the end of the month. On one hand, I see the benefit of building credit for myself and reaping the benefits of any rewards from a credit card. On the other I dont think this sounds like typical business practice, or fair of them to ask me to do. Also, although I am good at paying things off on time, Ive never gotten a credit card for myself because of the huge penalties for late payments. I dont really want to take on the personal risk. This is all new to me so Im not sure how to handle the situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!edit Thanks everyone for the great advice and discussion! Its been very interesting to read all of the different reactions. Ive weighed my options going forward and since I have never had trouble getting my expenses paid back accurately and on time Ill get a card and try to stack up some rewards. I hadnt heard of the rchurning subreddit before today, so that will be a great resource going forward.  <response>: This seems like a huge red flag to me.

Asking you to have a personal card and be reimbursed really isnt any more of a red flag then asking you to pay cash and be reimbursed. Youve been taking risk all this time anyways.If youve been okay paying cash and waiting, then why not get a card to delay the need for cash, and then waiting?
