Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Expedia

What is Expedia?
Expedia is essentially an online travel booking agency—a one-stop site for booking not just flights and hotels, but also vacation rentals, cruises, rental cars, activities, and other vacation services to destinations around the world. It’s also a great place to compare rates and find discounted travel services.

Is Expedia a legit website?
Expedia is one of the largest—and oldest—travel companies on the internet, and it’s a reliable and safe way to book your next trip.

What can you book on Expedia?
Expedia is an easy way to book lodging and flights and compare prices. But they also offer many other useful vacation services—including rental cars, cruises, all-inclusive packages, attractions and activities.

Does Expedia have promo codes?
There’s a variety of different Expedia promo codes and Expedia coupons available at a given time for select purchases. Check back to this page for the latest updates.

How do Expedia rewards work?
Expedia Rewards is a free membership program that allows users to earn points, which can in turn be redeemed on eligible future purchases through Expedia. 100 points equals one dollar in rewards.

Rewards members also collect a different set of points called “Trip Elements” which advance them through Expedia’s membership tiers. As you move up the ranks—Blue, Silver and Gold—you can earn more points per dollar spent on eligible purchases and additional discounts on select services. For every dollar spent on qualified bookings, Blue tier members earn one point (doubled when using the Expedia app), Silver members earn two, and Gold members earn three.

How do I use my Expedia coupon code from a cancellation?
Expedia coupon code for cancellations can be redeemed like any other Expedia promo code—simply enter the code on the payment page of their website, then click apply. If you are asked whether to pay now or later, choose the “pay now” option to use your code. App users must press the Coupon Code button before sliding to purchase.

How do I get a refund from Expedia?
If you need to cancel or otherwise change your travel plans, it’s fairly easy to get a refund through the Expedia website or app. First, log into your account on Expedia.com and select “My Trips.” Locate the reservation and click “Cancel” on the service you would like them to refund. You should receive a confirmation email and a full or partial refund, depending on eligibility.

Refunds can also be processed through customer service, either via the Virtual Agent chatbot on their Customer Service page, by email at help@expedia.com or by phone +1 (800) 319 4834. These last two options may take longer.

Refunds can take several days to process, and last minute cancellations may be subject to fees. Since Expedia is a third party in many transactions, cancellations and refunds are also subject to the policies of whatever airline, hotel, or other company the booking is associated with. For more details and terms, check out the Refund section in their FAQ page.
