does PWC offer per diem for the business travelers?

It’s not so bad though. Once you rack up hotel and airline status and points the cost to travel becomes a lot less on you. Food doesn’t get any cheaper though

thanks for ur thoughts this morning. anyone else?

Fair enough p5 but I think per diems are rare. I think the vast majority of PwC people have to use the corporate card but as P4 pointed out, enable membership rewards

Technically depends on the contract, but I have yet to meet anyone who has been on per diem

like

You can still enable American Express Reward Points on your corporate card though, and it’s completely integrated with our expense system, so no need to keep receipts

interesting. i don't eat much so it was a nice perk when i could pocket 20-30 bucks per day....oh well

Real answer: per diem is only given if the client requires so. The default is to give $75/$100 daily spending limit, depending on COL of the area you are traveling to

thanks guys - can you use your own personal card or you have to use corp card while ur traveling for work?

Corporate card is required.

really? that blows. been collecting sh@t load of chase points....ugh

It’s all on the corporate card

When I was in a project that had per diem I was required to use my own money/card and added the per diem amount when I completed my expenses. Why would you use your corporate card for per diem. Doesn’t that mean PWC will be paying out twice?

I’ve never seen per diem at PWC.

thanks for answering my question about per diem folks. got an offer last week and jumping ship from acn to pwc in 3 weeks

Yeah PwC let’s you charge actuals. No per diem. They are absolute sticklers for Corporate card usage...they pay the bill for it and you’re expected to use it ONLY for business expense and file through T&E every day or else they bug you incessantly. But if you like to eat...you can charge up a $140 dinner no problemo jefe

That last part is not true. The new expense tool tracks how much you are expensing as ‘Individual Travel Meal’ and does not allow you to expense more than $100 / day in that category.

^ohhh damn I left at the right time!
