About

Mileglow

Features
Read full description

Create a mileage request from saved business trips, keep its agreed rate with it, and track the balance as payments arrive. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Reimbursement Desk from Trips. Explore the payment example or select business trips, enter the payer and agreed USD rate, and choose whether to include tolls and parking. 2. Review and share the PDF and CSV yourself, then mark the request as submitted. Submitted trip and rate snapshots are fixed; original trip logs stay unchanged. 3. Record partial payments, reverse mistaken entries and see the remaining balance. Cancel an unpaid request to release its trip snapshots for reuse. Existing mileage logs, exports, references and date-based rate calculations remain available. The bundled 2026 rates now distinguish January–June from July–December; saved custom flat rates are preserved. Record-check wording describes populated fields rather than promising audit readiness. WHAT TO KNOW Manual USD requests and payment records only. The app does not send requests, process payments, verify reimbursement agreements or determine tax eligibility. Up to 100 requests with 200 trips and 200 payment entries each. Original trip records remain editable independently; saved request snapshots do not change. iPhone and iPad.
