And yes, varies client to client. Travel system is screwed up by the new policy though

Actually, P1, it depends on the project. Some projects are Per Diem and some are actuals. Most are actuals and by policy, expenses have to be charged to Corp Amex.

@P4 - Client MSAs and project Engagement Letters override firm policy. If the client MSA specifies $55/Day, that's what you're allowed.

Why so eager to know? 😂 and it’s all actuals thru your Corp Amex

Thanks P2. New travel policy? What’s new?

It’s not project dependent, however if things are tight the PMO can pressure you to cut down I guess. Official policy is $100 per day for food in high cost places (NYC,DC,SF,CHI,Boston) $75 everywhere else. Use it or lose it.

Negotiate harder with those clients
