If others feel different, please chime in and explain your situation.
Something like this will never work in Germany. 99% of business transactions are done via a simple SEPA transfer, which doesn't incur any fees.
I understand for regular procurement the importance of cost saving. But in product development paying everything with bank transfers rather than with corporate cards sounds like a ballache.
What's wrong with a normal bank transfer? Or the many payment apps like pingit?

Do many staff have authority to make bank transfers? Are you suggesting they go to finance for every purchase?
SME to freelancer payment is much better with bank transfer. Way less skimmed off the top than CC.
How could one decide to use the service, without knowing when or how it will be priced?

You order a bunch of X, get the invoice, pay the invoice within its term ( usually 30 days ).
It is not even cost-saving : we had to conduct businesses before creditcards were widely available.

Do German credit cards not have cashback programs? When every transaction I make gives me back 1-6%, that adds up significantly over time. It's essentially subtracting tax off of groceries and gas for me.
