Doubt it. I would just get the points and stay at your friend’s place. Or have them stay at the hotel with you. You should try to have “friends “ in every city you visit. 😉

Depends on the company. BDO's policy states "The Firm does not reimburse comparable lodging expenses should you choose to stay with family or friends instead of at a hotel."

EY reimburses you for gift in lieu of lodging. $50. You need to actually buy something though, cash is not a gift

Yes they send a gift card

Gift cards are definite no.

No gifts to friends/family for lodging, no reimbursement for lodging savings, no Airbnb

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
