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.

You can charge meals and hotel room in the card. I don’t know the hotel or meal rates. Maybe around $90 for hotel and $50 for meals per adult each day. Kids at a certain ages get 3/4 and 1/2 of the adult rate. This is just off the top of my head.
Save the hotel receipts to turn in. Don’t go over the hotel rate. Meals do not require receipts. When you settle your travel voucher you will be given the daily meal money and the hotel costs will be reimbursed.
I have been out of the army for 10 years so my info is a bit rusty, but I think I am in the ball park. I think the concept of the operations is correct.
Now if someone has more accurate or relevant info please speak up.
