Does anybody else wish that the Firm just gave a per diem for travel and meals as opposed to just an Amex allowance. I never even come close to the $100 a day allowance when traveling.

@OP spend the money wherever and write “Meal MM/DD” in the expense report. That can tally up the “meals” for the day Technically I eat 5 meals a day because I am a hobbit

Obviously don’t go and charge a “Best Buy” purchase to food

You run through whatever per diem is and it gets reimbursed directly to your bank account. Pay for meals out of pocket so no receipts involved either. It’s nice.

Isn’t EY $75 for dinner as Sr.manager plus $12 for breakfast? Usually easy to spend dinner allowance with a steak and couple drinks (alcohol). Breakfast is difficult to keep under $12

GT has per diem like that also, travelers make more if they choose to play the game right

What is per diet policy with KPMG?

For dinner and 2 drinks

PwC 1, BestBuy sells snacks by the checkout aisle. I’ve used the meal budget at bestbuy, Costco, Amazon, disneyland...they all sell food in one form or another and nobody cares as long as you stay under. Charge away.
