If they offer a hotel that's unsatisfactory, that's when it gets a bit tricky. $200 is also the number that I've heard, but $200 doesn't go very far around EWR. The taxi receipt should be reimbursable in full.
Nice.
Good on UA.

In addition to seeking reimbursement from the carrier, I'm pretty much always flying on a ticket purchased with a card that offers trip interruption and delay coverage.
UK261 prob doesnt apply here, but that's another variable. If I'm trying to get 261 compensation, does trying to get hotel reimbursement factor into it? Will they just lump it all together and say the $1000ETC will cover everything?
As for the taxi, the taxi driver insisted on credit card payment. After payment, they were told the receipt would be emailed, but nothing was received.
