Depends. North and Central America are approved for sure. Everywhere else is a gray area. It doesn’t say no. But it doesn’t say yes.

Depends on projects. At the end of the day it is billed back to clients so has to be approved by PMO.

International is no concern, it’s a cost difference that is important

smart

At my company you can do in lieu. So as it’s cheaper or you cover what would be left over. You can do it. So I’m working in NC instead of flying back to PA, I can fly to SC to visit the sister.

You know this is taxable, right?

It’s grossed up though (the variant that isn’t grossed up is the one where you fly someone else out to you)

At KPMG it’s fine

There’s nothing wrong with booking international alt travel — I’ve done it a lot in the past when I was in a looong distance relationship. I would, however, consider:
- you aren’t allowed to bill time while overseas for a non-business reason (there are tax implications) so you’ll need to take your Friday off or commit fraud on your timesheet (I recommend the former)
- would the increased travel distance make it difficult to get back to client site at a reasonable time, especially if you run into delays?
- would it raise questions to the client if they happened to be looking at the itemized expenses and see you flying to an international destination?

Not trying to be discouraging, I’m all for international alt travel (and alt travel in general), just be smart about it.

Doesn’t look like we can buy Chase points, so wondering if anyone has any tips/hacks on how to get/buy more points?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
