California about to lose its AmEx card...
"...AmEx is carrying $10.4 million in unpaid charges on its books that were incurred by state workers and agencies since the new fiscal year began"

travel is of course generally required as part of the employee's job, though CA is cutting travel since there is no budget
this could get interesting
