there are a lot of people who ONLY have AmEx's because of the Costco deal...without it, they aren't necessary.

I use amex for nothing else.

Explain pls. I use Amex for everything that doesn't require debit. Also, I'm having Lebanese food for lunch. It's delicious.

i don't feel like looking this up, but i think costco will no longer EXCLUSIVELY accept amex credit cards anymore. don't know if they are getting rid of them entirely

No, I got that part. sealclubber said they don't use Amex for anything else. That's the part I'm seeking clarification on.

It actually is a VISA + Costco branded card only. Not just any visa, their visa.

amex is a TTT in decline. how many elite biz travelers dumped the amex platinum card when AA stopped giving adm club access with it.

probably 2, maybe 3. elite business travelers don't rely on amex for lounge access.

This is a classic case of "it varies based on the client." Bizarrely, there are some clients who are fine with paying the biglaw rate (or, in the case of travelling, 1/2 the biglaw rate) without asking too many questions about "7.5-- Reviewed and revised disclosure schedules", but get irate if anybody spends more than $15 on a travel lunch or lounge access. I assume their internal budgets track 'legal fees' and 'legal expenses' differently, othrewise this behavior makes no sense.

ive always thought that nickel and diming expenses are just a way to get a discount w/o calling into question the integrity of your lawyer and making the billing partner uncomfortable. in-house lawyers know that it's all bullshit.
