>The trick is that when you travel on a business card your company pays, but you get the reimbursement when delayed.
TBH that sounds just like fraud to me, and on discovery could (probably, IANAL) justify immediate lawful termination. It's a nice loophole though, if you don't give a f*.
That's interesting to know, and I apologise for my premature judgement.
The reasoning goes that it's a compensation, not a reimbursement. It seems to depend on company policy though, and whether you're travelling on paid time or not.
But you are correct, it is seen as compensation. The train company makes a lot of money selling first class tickets and wants to prevent these people from taking a car again.
