<prompt> Human: Literally every other week I will be traveling. Theyre actually sending me 3000 miles away 6 days after I start.Im told that I get to keep my airline miles. Anything to keep in mind there? Are there any tax benefits? Or anything else PF related that I should know?  <response>: I have been there before, so a few notes on what to expect. Initially work travel can be exciting, but eventually gets grueling. A high travel job is something you can do for a few years, but expect to get burnt out at some point, so keep your long-term options open. Nearly all businesses will let you keep your airfare miles and hotel points, even rental points if you rent a car. However, different businesses have different rules when it comes to preferred airlines and hotels - you will want to know what those rules are before scheduling with your favorite airline or hotel and getting into trouble because its too expensive. Dont even think about falsifying or even just fudging expenses on expense reports - that will get you fired in a hurry. Most organizations will supply you with a credit card to use and will be good at reimbursing expenses in a timely fashion. If you are not getting reimbursed in a timely fashion, clearly document the credit charges you are getting on your card and do what you can to have the organization cover them. If you want to take some personal time while traveling, you can ask your travel coordinator at work, and theyll often OK it. But get it all written out in an e-mail. Theyll typically let you take personal days, but youll have to separate out the hotel and rental car expenses for the personal days and pay for them yourself. There isnt anything that can be done about getting sick while traveling, but be absolutely fastidious about notifying your supervisor. Only happened to me once that I can remember, but you need to let them know as soon as possible why youre not at the client site. All that said - travel can be enormously beneficial financially, because so many of your expenses are covered. Food is typically covered by a per diem, and youre not spending money on gas while traveling, and even things like laundry can be covered, depending on company policy. Take this opportunity to save some money - but again, document it all and dont do be tempted to do anything stupid with expense reports.
