A PI used their airline miles to obtain an airline ticket for a trip related to an Award. The PI is seeking reimbursement for the price of the airline ticket from the Award. Can the PI be reimbursed for the airline ticket?

No, the PI cannot be reimbursed for an expense that was not actually incurred. As the PI did not purchase the ticket, they cannot be reimbursed for the cost. This is a UW policy and more information can be found on the UW Travel website.
