Where I worked they broke the per diem up per meal. So, you could either claim the per diem, or put it on the credit card with a client, but not both.

However, there were a number of no receipt available expenses one could claim. Skycaps & bellmen & valet parking tips for instance. a number of female employees regularly claimed, and since I knew their eating habits ran toward picking up yogurt & fruit at the free hotel breakfast buffet, & similiar for lunch, though not free, I felt it was reasonable. If nothing else, the assistance they required had to do with health & safety.

I agree with Tim and Shadox:

I always order what I would have ordered if I was paying myself, but I don’t feel too bad with whatever the cost is.

I’m traveling for business, away from family and friends, spending my own off hours for the company. It’s not in anyone’s interest to quibble about a meal that is less than what I get paid for an hour of work.

What a great post. I love it when being frugal and being green overlap. It’s not just about saving YOUR money, it’s about not being wasteful.
