I travel quite a bit for work. And I want to get a Continental credit card. Can I pay my company tickets with my continental card then transfer the balance to my company's credit card? Or perhaps pay my continental card with my company's credit card?

Hi rahamdan,

Paying one credit card with another without fees is generally not an option. And the fees required for doing so are often cost prohibitive. One new option that is more reasonable than most is Chargesmart , but at 2-2.5% you will still be paying more than the airline miles would be worth in almost any circumstance.

Balance transfers also come with prohibitively high fees under normal circumstances.

I would suggest you ask your employer about simply paying for the tickets yourself, and then having the company reimburse you. If they're unwilling, I'd let the idea go for now.
