Just traveled for work. While traveling, I visited a museum and it cost like $25. The business is insistent that all trip related expenses are submitted. Should I submit the $25 expense/similar expenses for tourist type things I did during my off time on the trip?

It’s not a travel-related expense. It’s a personal expense you incurred while traveling

Check your company policy. Mine includes $80 for leisure on weekends.

No. And you need a good assistant sometimes. Back when I was in big law I submitted all my receipts from a week of depositions, and my assistant walked into my office saying, basically: “Are you sure you want me to submit to the client your rather massive bar bills.” My response: “No, I can’t believe I let you see them!” Her response (this is verbatim, and I’ll never forget it): “You can’t help your Irish heritage.” That was funny.

No. You should not use company credit card for any personal items that are not expensable.

No. If in government you could loose your job, even if inadvertent, especially if it involves a government credit card.

Only things necessary for work or your survival (e.g., hotel expenses, food, if you forgot your toothbrush). Not things purely for your entertainment. And you should check if your work has a restriction on alcohol or a per diem for food.

No

No -- unless your company policy specifically allows for that kind of personal spend to be expensed.

Just submit it along with the receipts for the Christmas gifts you purchased while there

Lol will do!

No

My girlfriends and I booked a non-refundable room for our New York trip coming up in a month. The reviews were ok on the booking website, but as we're reading more recent reviews on tripadvisor and google, the hotel is quite horrendous (bed bugs, mice in rooms, mold/mildew in bathroom, hair on bedsheets and towels, luggage being stolen in an unsupervised luggage area....). Is there anyway we can get a full refund for the room? I'd rather book another place before the trip than take our chances
