Re: How does your team make purchases?

We have a school credit card but for most large purchases ($1,000+) they prefer that I put in a check request but if I need to I can still put it on the card if it's time sensitive. This is definitely the best system I have ever worked under.

Back in high school we would make purchases thorough our Vice Principle. We would meet them at their office first thing in the morning and get on their computer and buy things and have them do the check out process on the school credit card.

I've also done the full reimbursement thing, that was an interesting year. I got a new credit card (0% interest for a few months) just for that and was probably putting close to a $1,000 a week on it during build season. Luckily they were pretty fast with the reimbursement checks.
