I am getting ready to PCS with my family and so far no one I have asked has been able to explain the GTC Per Diem in a way I understand. Does someone have a good explanation on how it works?

There is no such thing as travel card per diem.
You have your travel card that you use for PCS expenses.
You have per diem, which is a set amount of money you are provided for yourself and family members to eat each day. It's just a lump sum of money you'll be paid once you inprocess finance at your next duty station.
Your GTC and Per Diem have nothing to do with one another, that's why nobody can explain it to you

https://ditymovecalculator.net/. Here is a good calculator. If I’m not mistaken it’s $155 per day for SM and I think 75% of that for members 12 and older and 50 I think for 12 and younger. You get to drive two cars. The travel card covers food, gas and hotel for the time you drive to your new PCS.

It's been awhile but the only thing I ever charged on the GTC was my lodging. I used my own money for food. When I settled my claim I put the per diem in my army travel account set up just for that purpose.
