I'm sure this isn't your fault, Hasina, but this is something that's getting on my nerves, and those of other volunteers. We have an expenses policy (http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Finance_Policy_2012#Reimbursement_of_Expenses), which specifies when the chapter will cover expenses and what expenses they will cover. For people to start applying their own, contradictory policies is only going to confuse matters and is likely to lead to the kind of confusion that the office was (at least in part) established to prevent.

If the policy is inadequate, it should be modified, but until it is, it should be applied to every case.
