If taking the subway to my home office isn't part of my normal commute, and the client I am on is outside the commute to my home office and requires it, am I entitled to expense my Metro Card?

Why not just expense an Uber?

The policy is you can expense the excess above you normal commute. So if you're driving 5 miles each way and the mileage rate is $.50/mile you'd have to subtract $5/day from your subway fare reimbursement. Expect the project to complain about it though.

Totally get it. My normal commute is a train to Penn Station (not expensed) and a walk to home office, so in theory the entire metro card isn't part of my normal commute.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
