How pricing works:
Federal per diem rates are automatically applied to your listing if you have selected “Per Diem Friendly”. There are two categories for per diem rates which Crewdogs maintains for you. These rates can be found in the app by selecting:
My Place -> Edit -> Pricing and Payments -> Official travel rates
Guest has a Non-Availability Letter (With Non-A):
Guests are authorized a maximum ZipCode-based reimbursement rate that may change based on month of the year.
Guest does NOT a Non-Availability Letter (Without Non-A):
the Service member is limited to the reimbursement cost of Government quarters on the assigned TDY installation (JTR, Table 2-14)
Cancellation policy:
Crewdogs assigns all gov’t travel stays the Flexible policy. This is not optional based on reimbursement requirements.
Full refund 1 day prior to arrival.
If they cancel after that, you'll charge for each night they stay, plus 1 additional night and processing fees.

What to do with taxes?
Are lodging taxes included in the CONUS per diem rate?
Lodging taxes are not included in the CONUS per diem rate. The Federal Travel Regulation 301-11.27 states that in CONUS, lodging taxes paid by the federal traveler are reimbursable as a miscellaneous travel expense limited to the taxes on reimbursable lodging costs. For foreign areas, lodging taxes have not been removed from the foreign per diem rates established by the Department of State. Separate claims for lodging taxes incurred in foreign areas not allowed. Some states and local governments may exempt federal travelers from the payment of taxes.
What is an acceptable receipt?
While we work on payment processing, please ensure your receipts include the following:
Name of your property
The dates, price, and taxes
Certain fees may be reimbursed, but must be averaged over each day of the stay
Total amount due
Total amount paid (zero balance)
