I have been informed that the claims section at RAL would
prefer people to claim directly for the GGF5 registration fee
rather than request an advance (as originally stated).

Thus, I suggest that subsequent to registering you submit a
claim form with "GGF5 Workshop registration fee" as the entry
under the "Other Expenses" heading. Proof of payment should
be included, however, I understand this will be sent by the
registering agency as soon as the payment has been processed
(and note that this is different from the confirmation
page/email which can be generated through the web interface).

                        Regards, Robin.

If you submit a visit notice at the time of registering, you
can ask for an advance in parallel, stating clearly that it is
to cover a registration fee (and hence needs to be the full
amount). You should receive the advance soon after and can
then pay off your credit card. The advance is then taken off
the final claim - which should still document the registration
fee, but also declare the advance.

I should point out that they want $450 off your credit card straight
away. How long is it likely to take to get an advance for that?
