Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

Just refuse? Not your fault you were asked to cancel.

Did present company reimburse you already?

Not worth the uncertainty of that hanging over you. If you get the new gig, attach a check with your resignation letter. It's not about 'the company'. It's the quiet judgement of individuals who are working in the finance dept. that make it a 'Did you hear what ______ did?' to others that you may have a chance to work with in the future.

smart

Um. Cancel the trip? I thought they southwest has a good cancellation policy

Wanna get away = travel credit only

I mean it sounds like accounting will need the proof of purchase to southwest .. whether you took the trip or not 🤷 the receipt should suffice for their book keeping.

Now if they are truly going after you for the funds well then seeing as it’s THEIR credit card , they probably wanna call southwest and explain the situation and get a refund back themselves. If not, then they can take it up with their credit card company. Either way it really shouldn’t be on you. Tell them you tried everything but they won’t budge.

Congratulations on your new role by the way!!!! Hopefully you can figure it out so they don’t take the money out your last paycheck with them 😩
