In my experience, no problems but you own the ticket if you have to cancel. The expense seems to be tied to the first ticket. Since that is not within three days of the bid month no slide. As always bank money stays in respective month.
If somehow they let you split the round trip fare let us know that could be usefull.

Can you buy a round trip ticket and expense it?
You have the bank. All in the same bid month.
End a pairing on the 21st, ticket home on the 22nd, MEM to XYZ.
Begin a pairing on the 29th, ticket XYZ to MEM on the 28th.
So roundtrip ticket MEM-XYZ-MEM. Each travel day is within 3 days of a trip pairing.
I have always done one way tickets, but have been looking at round trips. They would be cheaper and save money. Can I expense this type of deviation?

CBA 8.C.3.a.iv. Ticket issuing, refund or transfer costs, if any, of an unused deviation ticket shall not be allowable unless a Company schedule change was the reason why the ticket could not be used, or had to be changed.

I buy RT tickets all the time. Never had a problem with expensing them. I just put in the comments section that it's a RT ticket covering the 2 D/Hs.
They don't care what you buy as long as it meets all the CBA parameters for deviation, class of travel, etc,. Including ,that you can not buy a ticket on the credit card, if Corp Trav could buy it for you cheaper(exact same flt/same day).

I have done this many times before. Had a double DH carryover trip for example and bought a roundtrip ticket with my company CC. I then expensed it out in whatever month worked better for me. In other words, I attached the total expense of the roundtrip ticket to either the front end or back end DH.
