Sales covers about twelve account managers who live on the road — customer visits, trade days, and the odd overnight when the drive is too far. I want one card policy for that salesperson cohort.

Fuel wherever they land, no brand lock. Tolls and parking open. Hire cars when needed for customer days — keep it reasonable, say under $120 a day. Flights for interstate pitches: economy. Hotels overnight around $280 a night when they cannot get home the same day.

Client meals and coffee are part of the job — allow restaurants and cafes for customer meetings, call it $120 a meal and maybe $600 a month per person. That is soft on purpose until finance pins the number. Alcohol with a customer dinner is allowed in moderation; bars and nightclubs without a customer are not. No casinos, no cash out, no adult entertainment.

They should not buy tools, hardware, or workshop parts on this card — that is field ops. Software, ads, and marketing subscriptions stay off this card too; marketing has its own path.

Day trips get fuel and parking only — no hotel, and no solo meal allowance just for driving across town. Overnight customer trips unlock hotel plus the client-meal band above.

Anything not listed: default deny. Overlap between policies: deny beats allow.
