Travel Reimbursement question

Curious what it means on the Coyle shop board for hotels...it says to indicate what your travel reimbursement would be for the shop. So would they give you reimbursement for whatever the hotel/meal charges in the shop plus travel money to get to the hotel? What do you include in your calculation for travel reimbursement? Thanks!

Exclude any amounts covered in the scope of the shop, such as airfare, parking, etc.

It means that you need to list any reimbursements you would like IN ADDITION to what's covered by the assignment automatically.

The hotel, required meals, parking and tips and almost always covered by the assignment. Airfare, train fare, taxi, tolls, driving miles and even airport parking can all be travel expenses. Everything but milage will need a receipt, however.

Hi Steve, I already bought my ticket with points and I am going to Houston. I am looking at a hotel there that is a two-night stay. I won't really have a receipt since I used points for my airfare (other than some airport taxes and fees). I asked Tami if I could get some money for travel and she asked how much I will require. I am going to be in that area for almost two weeks and I am renting a car, but I am renting it for the entire duration of my trip. So will I only be able to ask for the $23 or so that is for the airport taxes and maybe for two of the days of my car rental (I have to leave the hotel on day 2 for a few hours to gauge housekeeping), since those are the only monetary receipts I will have? What is your advice on that? I guess I can also charge for mileage to and from the hotel and for miles wherever I have to go on day 2? I hope you see this before I email Tami back.
@JASFLALMT, the travel reimbursement is basically there to cover travel expenses you incur. It's not meant as an added payment.

If you have award flights, then it can be applied to the tax, but excepting milage, Coyle expects a receipt for any travel expenses.
Okay, I had explained to Tami about my using points and about my using a rental car to get to and from the hotel, and explained that I would not have any receipts to upload, and she told me that she could approve $150 travel. So I don't know exactly what I am supposed to submit for that. However, I am going to another city a little over 100 miles away both before and after the hotel shop and will incur mileage on day 2 when I have to leave the hotel, but that is only about $130 worth of mileage...I guess I will email her for further details. Plus I just looked at the document and it states to fill out the invoice on the last page to submit for expenses, but there is no invoice on the last page. Maybe because this shop was due November 20 and I am going on the 19th they are adding the travel as an added payment? Hmmm.

If it's the shop, or if they are the two-night shops in the Houston area, then the invoice is on the last page of the guidelines, not on the survey.
Of course that's what I was referring to, the guidelines. I have done several shops for Coyle and have never seen one on the survey. But no invoice in the guidelines document although it's always been present before.
I mis-typed. Study Guide. It's on the last page of the Study Guide. Or you can use the same invoice form from your previous assignments. Looks to be the same form.
I am not seeing a study guide. I see the resource center and tutorial, but no study guide.

It's weird that the first page of the client objectives state "Complete the invoice on the last page of this document and attach it to the “Reimbursement Requested” question" but the last page does not have an invoice.
Is it for the two-night brand audit?

If so, the Study Guide is found on the link named "client objectives".
That's what I am trying to explain to you. The invoice is not on the last page even though the first page states that it is.

My client objectives are 7 pages. The last page discusses the checkout and overall client objectives. No invoice, no photo requirements page like there normally is. I emailed them.
