Please note it can take 3-6 weeks for you to receive your

More About Original Receipts
AIR TRAVEL RECEIPTS: The easiest way to supply original
receipts is to provide the receipt for your airline travel.
If you purchased your airline ticket over the Internet,
you must submit the PRINTOUT of YOUR EMAIL RECEIPT AND
your ORIGINAL BOARDING PASS from the city where your travel
begins.
TYPES of RECEIPTS: acceptable receipts, other than for
airline travel, include food, lodging, and other transportation
(taxi, bus). NO copies are accepted.
DATES on RECEIPTS: Receipts other than for your airline
tickets must have a date that coincides with traveling
to or from the conference, or on conference days. For example,
since GECCO 2007 will be held from July 7 through July
11, 2007, receipts other than for airline travel must be
dated between July 6, 2007 and July 12, 2007.
INVALID RECEIPTS: Your conference registration fee is
NOT reimbursable.
Please take the time to understand the following:
The ACM will NOT, under ANY circumstances, release a check
without the proper original receipts. There are absolutely
NO EXCEPTIONS to this ACM rule.
