No lunch?

I hate the no lunch thing but as others mentioned there are ways around it

Read the expense policy.

In Canada, it’s $60 per day and we can meal average for the duration of the trip, as long as we don’t exceed the total allowance.

For example: if I’m travelling for 5 days, I can choose to eat like a pauper 4 out of 5 days and eat like a KING on day 5.

I don’t believe the Canadian expense policy has restrictions on how much employees can spend on meals. I’ve always gotten everything reimbursed.

Canadia is so chill

Wow that sucks. We’re at $80 per day in Canada in most metro cities and $70 in rural Canada

RTFM

Kpmg 1 : i have never paid for a meal while traveling and I never think about my expense limits . Most the time senior managers pick up the meals and usually I’m not eating a fancy steak dinner with wine by myself.

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? 😂
