US Airways Dividend Miles - US Kiosk receipts

We have a new client that has very stringent receipt rules for expenses. Bottom line is that they will only accept the kiosk type receipts for any flights we book for their project. No US email receipts or ones that can be printed at home will suffice. I guess they they were burned in the past and want to ensure it doesn't happen again. So... I check in online for all my flights for obvious reasons and if one does that there is no way to get a receipt at the kiosk. It disables that option automatically. Any suggestions of workarounds on how to get the best of both?

An agent can print out a receipt in the same format as the kiosk.

Just ask the TA to re-print your boarding passes before heading to security.

I'll check into it tomorrow but from what I recall in the past the desk printed ones don't look exactly like the kiosk generated ones. Different paper and not double sided. I'll see if those are acceptable this week.

The kiosk used to print out a receipt if you did not check in from home but when I last tried 2 months ago that option was also gone. So no way to print a receipt from the kiosk. The TA will happily print you a receipt though, together with an itinerary document. Those look quite similar to the kiosk receipts and would not be easy to fake.

We have a similarly strict reimbursement policy where we're required to produce a zero-balance receipt. Airline receipts are not zero-balance so we also have to hand in a copy of the credit card statement showing the exact purchase (with the rest blanked out). Maybe you could use a single CC for US Airways and go that route with them.

I got a receipt from a kiosk today (but I had not previously checked-in). The option displayed at the very end of the check-in process, as or after my boarding passes printed.

That's correct. But once you check in online that option goes away.

Hope my clients don't start to ask for those! Sounds like the government! .. save a dime but it costs millions to make sure people have those exact receipts! maybe you can take a pic of yourself at the gate boarding the plane and holding up todays paper with the date! Or how about showing something you missed back home since you had to travel...

Like all good processes.. one person does something to cheat and we are all cheaters.. not so! People can be trusted.. they need to build in a process to validate a person travel --

Actually it's small-minded bean counters. They will get their comeuppance here as US switches to those cheesy printers where the ink smears after the BP has been lying around for a couple of days. By the time it hits the client's bean counters, they won't be able to read a thing.

Hope you bill your time standing in line to get the receipt. Small-minded bean counters.
