I'm asking because 1) I've got a plethora of miles that I can use (and a NW Visa discount of 6k FF miles on an awards ticket), 2) I'd rather pose this question first to FT before asking my the folks in the finance division of my office, and 3) extra $$$ in my pocket would never hurt.

Again, this is a very selfish question and perhaps it may cross an ethics line with my company, but I'd like to hear it from you guys before acting on it. I just figured that my office is going to pay the price of a ticket anyway, so if it's me using my own miles than it's me who is shouldering some of the burden.

Thanks in advance!
I don't know how it works at your company, but here it is certainly a not-done.

You can get reimbursed for the amount you spend, not the amount you did NOT spend.
