Blockskye launched Capture, an AI-powered expense tool that tracks business travel spend on employees’ personal credit cards. The system identifies work expenses, integrates with ERP and travel plans, and enables fast reimbursement—sometimes instantly via stablecoin. The move lets travelers earn loyalty rewards while companies retain visibility and control.

Corporate travel payments startup Blockskye is expanding its reach beyond managed corporate cards, unveiling a new expense capture and reporting product designed to bring employees’ personal credit card spending into company travel programs.
The new tool, called Capture, allows travelers to voluntarily register their personal cards with Blockskye. Once enrolled, the platform monitors transaction activity and applies artificial intelligence to determine which purchases qualify as business expenses. Those transactions are then matched against corporate travel plans and checked against company budgets through integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
The goal, according to Blockskye, is to streamline one of the most persistent friction points in corporate travel: reimbursement. Approved expenses can be reimbursed within days—or even instantly—using a stablecoin option, a form of cryptocurrency pegged to the value of the U.S. dollar or other fiat currencies or commodities.
Blockskye chief commercial officer Hank Benedetti said the company is currently in talks with “a handful” of potential participating card providers and expects to announce partnerships in the near future. The focus, he said, is on airline and hotel loyalty cards, which remain the most commonly used personal cards among business travelers.
That focus reflects a broader incentive shift. By allowing travelers to use personal loyalty cards for work trips, Capture lets them earn points and elite status on business spending—benefits that are often lost under traditional corporate card mandates. At the same time, airlines and hotels gain incremental revenue through their co-branded card programs, which have become a critical profit center for travel suppliers.
“At most companies, travelers are forced to choose between following policy and earning the rewards they value,” Blockskye co-CEO Brook Armstrong said in a statement. “Capture removes that tradeoff by aligning incentives through automation rather than enforcement.”
The launch builds on Blockskye’s earlier payment initiatives. Last year, the company introduced its B360 platform, which enabled travelers to pay for air, hotel, and ground transportation using select loyalty credit cards while still giving companies visibility and control over spend. United Airlines was named as the launch supplier for that platform.
With Capture, Blockskye is signaling a broader strategy: meeting travelers where they already spend, rather than forcing them into rigid payment structures—and using automation and AI to make compliance largely invisible.
