Typically we will reimburse one night but we also know that most times Alumni will need to stay an additional night to catch a flight in the morning. 

We will reimburse for a standard hotel rate. What this means is that we will reimburse a hotel stay that is between Low to Mid Tier (3 star, sometimes 4 will be within price range). Meaning this range could be anywhere between $50-$150 a night. 

Have we seen some that have gone up to 180-200?, Yes but please aim for something more mid-tier that gives you comfort but is not out of price range. We get that certain locations will have this price vary, but we are required to stay in standard to moderate hotels. 

 Remember you are paying for your stay and choosing your hotel; If you wouldn’t pay the price outside of this experience, then you should keep that in mind. We are paying for comfort not luxury experiences. (KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS)

We will reimburse for your use of a Taxi, Uber or Shuttle While you are traveling for the event. Examples: To and from the Airport, To and From the event, or If you needed it to grab a bite to eat! (KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS)

CIA WILL PAY FOR YOUR FLIGHT YOU DON’T HAVE TO. if you decided though, that you wanted to pay for your flight for some reason, we would reimburse but we do have a policy for this. (KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS)

Parking is Reimbursable (Ex. Hotel Parking if you drove, Parking at venue, Street parking if you needed) (KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS)

You have $60 per day to spend on food on your trip! CIA will not cover anything over that amount per day. We also DO NOT Reimburse for alcoholic beverages AT ALL. (KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS) 

PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RECEIPTS. ITS IMPORTANT, SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THE REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS FASTER. 

CIA does not reimburse tips that are above 20%, to be safe I would stay in the 10-15 percent range.
