PwC people: the in lieu policy description is confusing. If I am going to a third location over the weekend, are JUST meals a taxable expense, or is everything (airfare, hotel) taxable.

Everything is covered up to the cost of your normal flight home, but it's all treated as income and as such you need to pay you're marginal income tax rate on it (so like 30%)

Is this like alt travel?

I don't think anything beyond the flight is covered and only up to the cost of what your flight home would have cost

Don't get how they say meals are covered up to cost of original flight then two paragraphs later say meals are not reimbursable

Pwc has alternate travel too ?

Plz don't say ey doesn't give u lunch OR alt travel

I believe everything is taxable. So you're not REALLY getting a "free" trip to a third location... it ends up that you're really getting a discounted trip

The only thing that is expensable if you're flying to a third location is the flight. Otherwise it isn't expensable and then isn't taxable.

Third location: flight is taxable
Staying on site: hotel & meals

Yes- I was joking. How does it appear on your pay stub? I've done it so many times but don't see anything impacting my pay stub

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
