Forget reimbursement: it's just not how it's done in any company anymore. They cover the costs or he doesn't go. It's non negotiable. [/quote]

LOL that just isn't true. DH is a defense contractor- publicly traded company- all travel goes into our credit card and is reimbursed. We love it- we rack up points and miles like there is no tomorrow. Was exact same with last publicly traded defense contractor and the private defense integrator before that. 17 year history of this sort- weekly or bi weekly travel.

OP in your situation id worry less about this travel business and focus on him finding a new job stat. [/quote]

There is a difference between "use your own cards but the company is going to make you whole" and "use your cards and you're SOL when it comes to being reimbursed". [/quote]

OP says there is a promise of reimbursement. What are you talking about?[/quote]

I have worked for companies like this, they will not reimburse you. OP the only way your husband goes on this trip is if the companies buys the ticket and advances expense money. Have your husband say he can't afford it...so if they say they will reimburse, no I don't have the money to buy a ticket.[/quote]
