Is It Ethical?

[Definitions]

Last month, when flying for work, my flight got canceled, and I had to stay another night. I included the extra night in my expense report, and of course I got reimbursed,  as I should. Afterward, I realized I could submit a complaint to united, so I did and I showed the hotel invoice as support, asking for reimbursement from united. I was expecting no more than a few thousand miles as a courtesy.  But now they say they're going to send me a check for the cost of that night at the hotel.

Do I keep the money or somehow give it back to my company (no idea how - my boss will think I'm crazy).

I'm torn as well.
If you're laying out the money to pay for the travel and then asking them to pay what you spent, then I think it makes sense to give it back. The fact that you went out of the way to get it back you can charge them for your time.

If you tell them that you got credited and they don't give you a reasonable way to give it back then I wouldn't run after them.

If you regularly travel for work, maybe you can credit them towards the next expense.

If it was me, I would ask my boss. If he says to keep it, then I would keep it. Otherwise I would give it back.

+1
Plus you'll earn points by your boss for your honesty.

+1 and I'd offer to credit towards the next trip's expenses as an easy way to "pay it back"

…. And then you can really go for the kill next time.

So you’re an old “ox”ophobic.

I bought 3 of these pendant lights when they were on DDMS.

Didn't end up needing them, so I filed for a return. Amazon gave me one shipping label, but each light is in a relatively large box of its own, and there was no way I was gonna fit all 3 in any one box, so I taped the 3 boxes together in a stack securely, and shipped them as one package that way. I lazily didn't take off the original shipping label, and instead taped the boxes together with the old labels facing each other so they're not visible from the outside.

My Amazon account said they only received one light, so I chatted and told them that I sent all 3 in one package, and the rep refunded the remaining two. Fast forward to today, and I receive two of them via UPS. Turns out the three were separated (looks clearly cut, by the way it's separated), and the previous shipping labels became visible, so they redelivered two of them using the original labels.

Do I now have to chat with amazon again and try to explain this whole story to them and re-return these two or pay for them? I feel like the rep is not gonna understand this.

Total value of the lights is ~$25.

They will likely tell you to keep or donate

[CountValentine]

You need to make a good faith effort to remedy the situation. Call Amazon.

The shipping begins to add up to more than the worth of the lights.

The shipping begins to add up to more than the worth of the lights.

Which is why amazon will likely say to keep it. But I would still ask them.

Thank you all for your advice. I just chatted, and (after checking with his lead) the rep said:

You are welcome to keep, donate or dispose the item as per your convenience.

You giving them away now?

[Yehudaa]

You giving them away now?

Now that they're free, I'll find a use for them

Is it ethical to try to profit off a singer (buy reselling tickets), in which the singer had a concert where people died, and he just kept the music playing?
