How Military Members Can Claim Up to 4% Credit Card Courtesy Fees on Travel Vouchers

Military members on TDY or PCS assignments can reduce out-of-pocket costs by claiming up to 4% credit card courtesy fees on their travel vouchers. These fees, often charged on lodging or meal payments, are reimbursable under the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) if documented properly. At Nika Corporate Housing, we make it easy with JTR-compliant furnished apartments and clear invoicing for our 4% credit card fee. Simply retain receipts, list fees on your DD Form 1351-2 under "Other Expenses," and submit through DTS or your finance office. Contact Nika at 813-857-2211 for seamless housing and reimbursement support.
