Southwest flyers - thoughts on spending the extra $14 to book business select instead of Anytime? Is this something you’ve heard someone get in trouble for?

3x more (base) points for $14 seems like the logical choice.

Charge to client. It's 14 dollars.

$14 for 3x points is not the logical choice with clients money. Some companies justify business class because you’d be fresher for work, this doesn’t fall in line with that either.

OP you don't expense the $14. Clear $14 of the expense to personal, and then pay Amex $14.

With your money or client’s money?

Then pay the $14 out of pocket

Ask the controller. Most don’t care, especially for inter-CA travel

@kpmg client’s money

@D1 do a personal expense for $14 when I import the expense in DTE? That seems a sure fire way to get flagged.

Pay $14 OOP and it makes perfect sense

Then I’d suggest paying out of pocket like others said.

I often book business select fare one way then book anytime and pay 15$ the leg home. My fare is still lower than anyone on my team

FYI you don't get the 3x points when you pay the 15 at the gate..you are only paying to upgrade your seat
