Thanks in advance for two questions.
1. AA site has a really great price for next month DFW to DEN for under $100. This will help out my bank for the month and make it all work. Travel has a price of over $300. From what I read, I can just book the flight on AA.com with my FedEx credit card and just need to save my receipt and boarding pass for the monthly expense report....is this correct?
2. UBER just added tipping on there phone app. I tipped the driver on my last ride. The tip amount showed up as a different charge. So 2 charges for the same ride. I assume I can claim the tip on expense report...is this correct?
Thanks again,
Postal

1. Yes. Probably non refundable at that price but good way to go. Save all receipts etc.
2. Yes. 2 charges w uber. I keep the tip at 15% or less. Uber provides 1 receipt that they email you with the grand total w tip.

1. Yes, that is correct. I screen shot the email typically received from the airline with the confirmation, itinerary and receipt info after you book the ticket. That has always been accepted as the receipt on the expense report.
2. I don't THINK you'll have any issues with that. You could always submit an Insite to get guidance established for everyone since Uber use is so prevalent. I've seen guidance in the past limiting GT tips to 15% (can't seem to find it on Insite now). My guess is they'll tell you to input the two expenses, upload the receipt (if required) and explain the situation in the remarks.

Postal, in over 20 years at FedEx, I don't recall ever being asked for a boarding pass. Not saying you shouldn't save them for awhile, just in case, but they want the receipt. Think once I submitted a boarding pass because I couldn't find the receipt, and was told they needed the receipt.
If you want to explain the two separate charges, just put a note about it when you submit your expense report, in the comments section.

For the expense report, it showed as 2 separate line items. I did receive an email from Uber with both charges, with the tip clearly stated on the tip line. Total is under $25 but I figure I need to attach receipt to show the two charges for the same ride.

Boarding pass is only needed if you use your personal card...which makes sense, anytime you cancel a ticket the $$ is refunded to that card (not that far fetched to see potential abuse, and easier now with the 24 hour rule)
I just bought a non-refundable ticket, all I do is take a screenshot of the email they send me with the company iPad and the upload that and I've yet to receive a question.
JL was a more generous soul, the company standard tip springs out of the Christmas meal (imo) and way back JL mentioned 20% as the std.
Cost cutting being what it is, I've seen the 15% mentioned in the not too distant past.
I still tend to tip 20%, but haven't used Uber since the change and there's been mire than 1 Uber driver I wouldn't want to tip 20%

1. Need a receipt/boarding pass any time you purchase a ticket straight from the airline using a credit card, company issued card or your own personal card. Why anyone would use their personal card escapes me, especially since the CBA directs us to use the company card for deviation expenses.
2. What is the "24 hour rule"?

Sure, there are reasons to use a personal card. For example, I bought a super saver ticket to Europe months ahead of time. Thought I could do it in conjunction with a FedEx trip, and was able to, and filed for reimbursement. But I couldn't use the corporate card so far ahead of time, what trip could I associate it with, three months out? You may know you're going to take a trip, but you don't have a FedEx trip assigned yet.
I've asked them what I should do,and there's no answer. Also, what if you already paid for a trip on your personal card, and then unexpectedly got a FedEx trip in conjunction? As long as you are honest and keep receipts, it's fine.
