Hotels typically keep a credit card on file for incidental charges. Minibar items are covered under incidental charge if not paid at checkout time.
If a company credit card is kept on file and the guest doesn't pay for the minibar usage, the company's credit card is charged. The guest might think the hotel never goes after him but in reality the company is footing the bills. The guest is exploiting his own company.
If the company's credit card is stipulated only for the room charges and nothing else, the hotels will ask the guest to provide a credit card for incidentals. This is same as prepaying hotel nights with Priceline, where a separate credit card is needed for incidentals at check-in time.
