The allowance covers all automobile related costs including gasoline, insurance, and maintenance. Toll charges and parking fees, when supported by receipts, are reimbursable in addition to the mileage allowance.

Frequent Flyer Programs

Participation in the various airlines' corporate rewards programs allows the university to earn rewards which can be used to contain costs. In addition, the traveler will continue to earn the individual benefits associated with these programs.

Continental Airlines' RewardOne Program

Case Western Reserve University is now participating in Continental Airlines' RewardOne program for small, medium, or large companies! As a RewardOne member, both the traveler and the university can earn travel rewards when flying Continental. You earn frequent flyer miles toward your own travel rewards through Continental's award-winning OnePass frequent flyer program and Case will also accumulate points. The corporate points will be used to reduce the university's overall air travel spend. If you are not already a OnePass member, please enroll in Continental's OnePass Rewards program by visiting www.continental.com/acct/penroll.asp

To support the RewardOne program, provide your OnePass number to the Case Travel Office (travel@case.edu). Be sure to use it when booking through a preferred agency and include it with every university travel reservation on Continental Airlines.
