The Defense Financing and Accounting Service made a rule change effective November 1, 2010 on reimbursements for hotels made using an online booking agent.
The new rules about hotel reimbursement state that you submit a receipt from the hotel along with your online receipt from the booking agent.
You are allowed TLE (temporary lodging expense) for up to 10 days. This means you can stay at on post hotel (or off post in certain cases) before heading out to your new duty station or when you are waiting/hunting for a house once you arrive to your new duty station. So for example, you can use 5 days of TLE at your old duty station and 5 day of TLE at your new duty station.
You may be paid or reimbursed up to $290/day. This maximum applies if you and your dependents occupy temporary lodgings on the same and/or different days.
