No.
The credit card thing is for company-paid commuter hotels either before or after your trip (for early shows or late finishes respectively). The company doesn't know which pilots will want those, so you have to book your own on a company portal (takes 60 seconds). And not unreasonably, they expect you to cancel the booking if you decide not to use it (takes 20 seconds).
