This document is designed to provide an overview of the new frequent traveler benefits rules. The National Defense Authorization Act now allows federal employees to retain for personal use promotional items received incident to official travel. Such changes were incorporated in the Secretary of the Army’s policy letter, Policy for Travel by Department of the Army Officials. Any promotional benefits or material received (e.g., frequent flier miles, hotel bonus points) from a travel service provider in connection with official travel may be retained for personal use, if such items are obtained under the same conditions as those offered to the general public at no additional cost to the Government. This includes all personal and government benefits earned, including those earned before enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act.
