The last NYC-related post I saw in regards to this was from a few months ago. Was wondering if some banks have updated their allowances recently? We just got bumped up to $30 from $25 not too long ago.

Do banks do monthly memberships on a corporate card? Just thinking it’d save a lot of money. I had a door dash membership, it was like $10/month (and cheaper if yearly) but if I didn’t, would be like $5 per order extra for fees each time.

Surprised to see a lot of the bigger or more "prestigious" names on here only have dinner to the office. That's pretty awful.
Who has lunch? Are you all dropping 20$ per day?
It's more like $15. I try to keep it closer to $10 but it's hard in NYC.
For those on $30, how have y’all been able to manage paying for meals right now? Is inflation making it really bad or are you still able to get a decent meal even with all the fees and rising prices?
