Now don’t laugh, I use an A5 Filofax for logging business information. Purchasing supplies for this; is it better to buy myself and claim as expenses, or for me to purchase them using MyLtd Co debit card?

Supplies Purchasing

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! -

I agree with this. Using the Company Credit card / debit card for business transactions also allows you to develop business financial history and may end up with more credit so that you can eventually put training courses on the card instead of through your personal funds. However, I am use to buying things and claiming it back from the company. More hassle, but it stops me from spending my money on something else.Originally posted by Sausage Surprise View PostCredit card - less paperwork/hassleIf your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

Yup.Originally posted by pmeswani View PostSurely this only applies to those banks that have those types of tie-ins?
e.g. American Express Nectar credit card = Nectar points
Can't remember which card issues Air Miles now since NatWest dropped them.Comment
