Best Answer
Both for and by may be appropriate in different senses. For instance:
For designates the beneficiary. If Mr. A paid the restaurant tabs and Mr. B paid the taxis and you paid the hotel bill, each of you has incurred expenses for all three of you.
By designates the payer. You may claim reimbursement only for the expenses actually incurred by you—the money which you yourself laid out, or the charges which appear on your credit card statement.
