If I am traveling by train or plane to visit another state to purchase inventory to sell for my business, and said inventory can only be purchased in-person vs online, can my hotel costs if staying overnight, food and travel expenses be deducted on my schedule C?

Let’s say I leave home Friday, stay at a hotel Friday night, purchase inventory on Saturday, and return home Sunday morning - would the expenses relating to that be deductible?

Upgraded my seat to MCE using AAdvantage miles, but accidentally chose the wrong leg of my flight for the upgrade.

Reached out to customer service and they refunded me the points. However, I can still choose the upgraded seat on the leg that I accidentally booked. Has anyone had this happen before? Seems like an unintentional win, but don’t want to select the same MCE seat and for some reason have an issue when I go to board.
