Is it legal for an employer to require an employee to use a 'corporate card' for expenses?

i am not certain how you are defining the term "lega;." However, a private corporation can set its own company policy as long as it is not anti-discriminatory, or violating any state or federal regulations, etc. I believe it is perfectly legitimate and not an uncommon practice for a company to require employees to use a corporate card for business expenses. What I don't understand is your objection to it.
I object to being forced to use any process that exposes my purchasing history, credit history, or is being used for monitoring purposes. In this case, the company forces employees to use a sponsored card but is not responsible for the purchases. They monitor purchases and credit history. I believe this is an intrusion into personal privacy.
I am trying to understand this question better before I answer.
What is the specific situation:
A. The employer is requiring the employee to apply for a corporate credit card (and have the employee be the responsible party for the charges) or
B. The company is providing the employee with a corporate credit card (where the company is the responsible party for the charges).
I don't know if A is legal or how common this circumstance is. B is legal and is fairly common.
