Hello, About three months ago, you approved all videos of this style that we created, but now you are rejecting all of them. This policy change has caused us to lose over $8,000 because we decided to continue producing videos based on your previous approvals. If our videos had been rejected from the start, we would never have invested time and resources into making them for you. This is truly an unprofessional approach from your side. You do not even show respect to those who were among the first creators making videos for your platform. Now, you reject all our videos with a reason that is clearly not the real reason—because you changed your goals.
We have lost more than we earned, and this unprofessional behavior from your side has led to this situation. We will mention this in all our reviews because your review team does not even show the slightest respect to provide a proper explanation for the rejections. Instead, they keep rejecting the videos one after another, even though these same videos were being approved just two months ago. We regret working with you, and we are also deeply sorry for our team, whose hard work and efforts went unrewarded.

Stay away from this company! I used them for the first time although made a stupid mistake by booking for the wrong month. I contacted them immediately after and they said they would work with me for a refund. I got an email that said my refund was approved. Then a few days later it wasn't approved because they can reach the Hotel I booked. So they can't issue me a refund. I contacted the hotel and they told me Expedia didn't even try to get a refund. They said they would issue it same day. Expedia just keeps telling me they can't refund me. STAY AWAY from this company!

Booked our vacation to Cancun, Mexico through Expedia. Once at the Resort, our problems began. We had booked a tour to Tulum Temple while there. Morning of the tour, we discovered Expedia had never booked us on the tour, yet we had paid for it. The other couple we were traveling with DID have their reservation but didn't go because we couldn't. We were able to book a day later with the Lomas Travel tours at the resort, but of course costing us twice the amount the original tour cost. The Concierge at the resort was on the phone for nearly an hour with Expedia regarding the tour. At that time Expedia told us we did not have airfare back to the US and wanted us to pay them $735 more dollars to book flights home. Of course, we did not. A few minutes later, I then received an text from American Airlines saying our flights to the US had been canceled.
We called American and sure enough Expedia had canceled our return flights within the last 20 minutes when we would not pay them the $735. Thankfully, American had texted me and we were able to get the flights back, just had to take other seats. Our experience with Expedia has been a nightmare especially by them cancelling our return flights! Thank goodness American was on the ball! We will NEVER use Expedia again for anything. In reality, their discounts for the vacation trip didn't cover the extra money we had to pay for their incompetence and outright disregard for their customers. I will be posting our problems on ALL social media platforms to warn people about Expedia. I will also be calling them to complain and see if we can be reimbursed for the tour we paid for and never got.

In checking an e-mail account seldom used I found an e-mail from a hotel in Tokyo concerning a reservation I HAD NOT MADE and no one in my family made and there was no e-mail confirmation of. The reservation was apparently made through Expedia. Numerous attempts to research the reservation confirmation number referenced by the hotel were unsuccessful. Expedia's operators in India spoke with a heavy accent, disconnected me twice and would not/could not provide any information about the booking. I have not been able to find a functioning e-mail address for customer service. In short my experience with them has been awful and I will cease using them for anything.

Extremely disappointed in Expedia and Porter airlines! We missed our flight out of Toronto on February 13th due to having to wait 4.5 hours in line to get through security at Pearson Airport which had just had a major snow storm the previous night. When we finally cleared customs after close to 5 hours in line, we ran to our gate, the flight had been delayed twice due to the weather and the plane was still there, but they (Porter) would not let us board!! Apparently they had already taken our luggage off along with the 20-30 other people that missed the plane. We were told we had to leave the secure area, reclaim our luggage and go upstairs to the Porter desk and they would rebook us.
We waited in line some more and when we finally spoke to the Porter agent they said they could do NOTHING for us because we had booked through Expedia and we needed to call them. So, people should be aware when you book through Expedia the airlines do nothing to assist them in re-booking (what happened to the Air Passenger Protection Regulations?). When we finally reached Expedia on the phone after an 1.5 hours of being put on hold for 30+ minutes at a time with no updates we were told they were having a problem with their 'tool' and couldn't check any other flights for us. In the end, the agent said he called Porter and they told us we (the passenger) was responsible to book and pay for an alternate flight but that the return ticket portion was still good in case there were any questions from US Immigration. So basically Expedia was of NO HELP WHATSOEVER!
We finally found a one way ticket from YYZ to FLL with Air Canada at a cost of $1000 each... We slept in the airport and got our flight the next morning to Fort Lauderdale at our expense. So, how do I make a claim to be reimbursed for the $2000 we had to pay out-of-pocket since the airline wouldn't let us board the flight that we had paid Expedia for and we missed it due to the horrible delays at Pearson Airport caused by CATSA/TSA not us? Expedia was basically USELESS in resolving the issue!

NEVER EVER will I use EXPEDIA again. We used Expedia for a trip to Sarasota Florida 2/14-2/17/2025 for a buddy's wedding. Upon landing, we called the "hotel", Sarasota Getaway to inquire about early check in. We then found that Expedia OVERBOOKED the "hotel" and we did not have a room. After searching for a contact number for Expedia, which was a chore in and of itself, we encountered a barely English speaking male, who kept using the catchphrase "no worries" when we told him of the issues we were having.
After 45 minutes of a conversation, from the back of a car service, we were told to go the "hotel" as there is a room. We had the driver take us there to the Sarasota Getaway, which BTW should have been cordoned off with crime scene tape. Filthy, disgusting, migrant shelter/homeless shelter looking facility. The female mgr, who was nice confirmed that Expedia did in fact overbook and we had no room. We were then forced to seek other accommodations, more costly, as it was Presidents weekend. Never again. Expedia did refund us the amount for the room, however, NO compensation for the extra cost of another hotel, no apologies, no assistance in securing other accommodations, we felt disrespected and cast aside. The ONLY saving grace was the "limo" driver who stayed with us the entire time and did more to help than Expedia did. Expedia sucks.

I do NOT recommend Expedia. Expedia Reward points were suddenly removed from my account. When I contacted them, this problem was continually shuffled to other departments within customer support services without any resolutions. The points were never returned to my account. Expedia does not follow the terms/conditions as listed and documented under the Terms and Conditions. They do NOT follow "good business acumen", where a business follows the Terms and Conditions, as documented; and where they do not verbally change a "documented" item just to benefit themselves and to create a loss for the customers. The terms and conditions cannot and should not be changed in any way in order to remove/eliminate the EARNED BENEFITS from customers' accounts.
After many, many months of communicating with Expedia about how I had followed ALL rules as listed under the terms and conditions, Expedia decides to create reasons as to why they removed my Reward Points from my account, even though their reasons were NOT VALID nor were any of their reasons even stated in the Terms and Conditions. All the reasons that were created did NOT even apply to my situation. Therefore, until Expedia works with customers to resolve issues and to follow the documented Terms and Conditions, they are NOT a company I would recommend to anyone.

Expedia travel booking led me to lose $1860 as the way they book, while I have "travel credit" now of 1860$, I cannot at all use any of this money for any flights which make no sense to me.

Expedia is double-charging room rates. I travel for work and It's happened 4 times since the beginning of the year. Each time I have to dispute the charge, defend my charges to my job, and get proof of the overcharge. Endless amounts of time and everything is still pending. ADVICE: BOOK DIRECT and put this company out of business.

DO NOT USE EXPEDIA FOR ANY TYPE OF TRAVEL RELATED TRANSACTIONS!! This is the most terrible company you could deal with. They deserve less than one star. This company is also using offshore means of customer service (India, etc.). This company will steal your money any way that they can, by upselling you a worthless cancellation insurance policy, along with your booking. This is just such a janky company in so many ways. Please stay away from this company!!

I have been using Expedia for a number of years and I have issues off and on but tonight was the last. I made a reservation on a hotel and accidentally put in the wrong date by one day. I called the location within 5 minutes of making the reservation and they told me no problem have Expedia call me we have plenty of rooms for tomorrow. I called customer service and the first three calls when I started explaining what I needed they just hung up. When I finally got to speak to someone all they wanted to do was to tell me that since it was within a week before the date there was nothing they could do unless I wanted to pay for another room, DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. LOOK AT THE REVIEWS, NOT GOOD. By the way, you will never speak to anyone you can understand either.

Bought a package (air and hotel) from Expedia. Confirmation material indicated no cancel fees (I bought refundable tkts). Had to cancel and was charged $500. cancellation fee because, an Expedia agent said, it was required by the airline (Delta).

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! If I could give negative stars I would. I travel a lot and this was the worst experience with Routes (and since Expedia) I have ever had. The issue started when we arrived in ATL on 11/23. I went to the email to book the shuttle but the page would not find my confirmation so I had no idea how to get the shuttle. After calling several times and no answer, we grabbed an Uber for $30 to the rental car place. Once we arrived, they did not have the minivan we booked and no vehicles were available that would fit us and our luggage. The front desk agent only told us we could cancel and book somewhere else - impossible the weekend of Thanksgiving. She stated that they never carry minivans and didn't know why Expedia allowed us to book one.
Finally the manager agreed to give us a second car for $70 in fees. After being there for over an hour and a half, it was our only option. We were not happy about paying more after all the hassle plus a second driver plus additional money in gas. Everything was fine with the cars until I saw an additional charge on our last day of $249 for a border crossing fee. One, I was not informed this was a thing. I have rented many cars and never heard of crossing a state border as being an issue. 2. we only went to a small border town that was half in Tennessee/half in Georgia. So if I was in Tennessee, it was by mere feet. Of course, with everything going on, nobody went over this with us.
Once I saw this, I immediately called the Routes customer service line provided in the email and had it escalated to a “supervisor.” Once talking to the supervisor, I was “disconnected.” When I called back, they sent me directly to the rental office in Atlanta. They informed me that only corporate could help. I called back a 3rd time and tried to escalate to a supervisor at which time the rep informed me there are not supervisors at the call center and the only thing I could do was email. Another 2 hours of my time wasted and nothing done… I did email and of course no response. When I got to the rental car office, I was told the supervisor there would call as soon as he got in. Nothing and after a couple more calls, still nothing. This has been the most time consuming, horrible, and expensive experience I have ever had with a car rental company or any travel company for that matter.
Since then, I have filed with my credit card company who agreed to remove the $250 fee due to no response from the rental car company and my good standing with them. Then I got charged again by the car company (3 months later) so now we are having to stop payment on the card because they are continuing to charge me.
After 3 months of also trying to get a resolution with Expedia, they informed me today that they won't be doing anything because supposedly we arrived 2 hours after our scheduled time to get the vehicle so they had given the minivan away. This was an outright lie. We were on time but were not able to LEAVE the car rental facility for 2 hours after we were scheduled because they did not have the vehicle. And we were told it was the fault of Expedia because they never carry minivans. They did not connect the secondary car to our reservation so are claiming they were separate (we only had to get the 2nd car because they didn't have the minivan). Today they tell Expedia that they do have minivans and it was our fault we didn't get it because we showed up late. It has been lie upon lie upon lie and terrible customer service from both Routes and Expedia. I will never use either again.

I made several consecutive bookings through Expedia. I have been a loyal customer for many years and use the company regularly. However, this occasion they let me down. One of the bookings was with Azores Airlines (SATA). The airline changed the date without any proper notification, warning, or apology. Just a short text with the date change. I contacted the airline to say the date change was not possible, because I had other bookings (flights/hotels/car rental) either side of the flight. They said contact Expedia, which I did. Expedia tried to pass the buck by then suggesting I contact the airline. I demanded Expedia sort out the problem since the booking was made through them, which they said they would do and got back to me with options. I chose an option together with my original demands for proper compensation. They responded with an email that demonstrated a complete disregard for resolving the issue.
If nothing is done and I am not compensated for the inconvenience, it will cost me hundreds of dollars to reschedule my trip. This kind of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. I will never use Expedia again, which will be a cost to them. Do they care? Consumers need to be made aware of this breach of contract and trust. Date of experience: February 05, 2025.

This experience has been absolutely terrible. My husband was injured in a biking accident, and I've been trying to reach Expedia without any success. They kept transferring me to different agents, leaving me on hold for 45 minutes and then another hour and a half with no resolution.

If I could rate Expedia customer service less than 1 star, I would. I have been sick in bed with the flu for four days now and have to cancel the reservation I had for this coming weekend. Unfortunately, when I went to cancel online, I accidentally cancelled the protection plan instead of the actual reservation, because their website is so poorly laid out. I tried using the virtual assistant to correct this, but they were absolutely no help. I finally called the hotel who gave me an actual phone number, but of course it was all automated. I finally pushed zero a couple hundred times and actually got a person on the phone, but of course they were in India and couldn’t understand a thing I was saying. I requested to speak to someone in the United States.
She put me on hold for five minutes, and then the same non-American speaking person came back on the line. After arguing back and forth until I almost completely lost my voice (again, I have the flu), I finally told her I would just eat the money and NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER use Expedia for anything ever again. From now on, I will book with the hotel directly. It is absolutely ridiculous what customer service has become in this country.

I have documented proof and receipts of everything I am saying here. February 7, 2025. My wife and I booked a package trip with Expedia.ca to Mexico which included our flights, hotel, and a private “Saloon Car” service from the Cancun airport to the ferry dock, tickets for the ferry to the island (Isla Mujeres) and a ride to our hotel (all return). A guy with a van showed up at the airport and drove us to the ferry docks at night and dropped us off. When I asked about our tickets for the ferry, he did not know anything about that. So he called Shuttle Central and asked them. They said they were sorry but had not purchased ferry tickets for us. They texted me to apologize, that they had an issue, and couldn’t provide the ferry tickets, but that they would refund me the ticket cost through Expedia.
I contacted Expedia and they said they would look into this and get back to me. After I got back to Canada, I contacted them again, and they said they had not been able to get through to Shuttle Central yet, but once they verified the services had not been provided, that I would receive a refund. (said could take up to 72 hours). Today, five days later, Expedia wrote me an email saying that it was too late to cancel part of my trip, so no refund would be provided. (Obviously, I would not have canceled the ferry or taxi part of our trip). It was not a huge amount of money ($257.67) but it’s the principal as well as not liking being ripped off.

Absolutely unacceptable customer service.

Lesson here: Don't book w/ 2 separate airlines, don't get the traveling insurance, pay a little extra for ability to make changes to your flight. I am a new flyer and so far I have taken 2 trips using Expedia and all has gone well. However, I booked a flight for my husband in OCT for Feb and I made the mistake of using 2 different airlines because the flight t thru Frontier (FT) to Indiana was canceled due to schedule issues and the returning flight thru American Airlines (AA) wasn't.
Expedia online chat was quick and efficient. I was referred to the airlines for help. I was given a refund quickly from FT but |AA said I had to forfeit the money I paid and open a claim w/the traveling insurance I purchased. Well, that didn't pan out as I hoped. The insurance company said schedule issues doesn't qualify for a refund. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT!?
I tried to reach back to Expedia and they couldn't help me because they said the flight I booked was the least expensive w/very strict rules. No wiggle room for changes or refunds. They were only able to refer me to AA for help. AA couldn't reschedule same flight due to it was more than 24 hours since I canceled it. No one can give me our money back so far. UGH! I don't see any disclosures or warnings from Expedia that state each airline is subject to cancel flights and impact the other airline.

I rented a car through Expedia and went to pick it up, but there was an issue at the rental company, and I couldn’t get the car. Despite contacting Expedia’s customer service multiple times by phone and live chat, and providing proof of these attempts, I still haven’t received a refund. Additionally, a supervisor handled the situation very unprofessionally, dismissing my concerns and implying that the issue was solely my problem, without any effort to help.

I have always used Expedia to book my travel. This year when I booked my mother and her partner's flights to Mexico for my wedding, Expedia notified me that the airlines had changed their flights coming home. The options were 1) accept changes 2) call to rebook the flight or have a refund issued. The new flight times added an additional 9 hour layover which was unacceptable. When I called for the refund they advised me it would be processed in 3-5 days. The refund to this day has never gone through. I have called and spoken to several agents, each one not having any record of the last one. I have emailed, never getting any kind of response. I spoke to a manager and she tried telling me to accept the new flight as it was a great option and would not listen to me, nor help me with the refund I was advised I was going to get, so that I could rebook a more suitable flight. I have never had such terrible customer service.

Expedia.ca is no longer a reputable company. Their booking process is not replicated by their receipt process and the customer is often subjected to bait and switch or technical difficulties resulting in the customer not getting what was paid for. For example, purchasing premium economy airfare and then being provided basic economy. Expedia is very well known for that.
The Customer Service staff are the worst I have ever experienced anywhere. They are either very poorly trained or perhaps just trained not to solve problems where the company is at fault. Expedia.ca is the most dishonest online company I have ever done business with. They are not subject to Consumer Protection or TICO standards, only the Better Business Bureau where they average about 25% resolution of many many complaints.
Expedia.ca does not have a complaint department but farms out all its complaints to another department. If you're going to use Expedia.ca, screenshot each step of the booking process and then call in and have their customer service rep make the purchase. Do this as it isn't rare for you to book one thing and have Expedia provide a lesser standard than you booked. Don't forget your credit card company can also open a dispute against them at your request. Your best bet is to book directly with the hotel and airline.

We booked a two-night stay at the Homewood Suites through Expedia. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find the room in an uninhabitable condition. The room was filthy and unsafe, with visible mold, old food in the refrigerator, a blackened shower, inches of dust, and a pervasive foul odor. These conditions were unacceptable, particularly because my son suffers from severe allergies, and my husband is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, making a clean and safe environment essential.
When we brought this to the front desk's attention and requested a transfer to another room, we were informed the hotel was fully booked and no alternative accommodations could be provided. At this point, I contacted Expedia to find a resolution. I spent over an hour on the phone explaining the situation and seeking assistance to transfer to a clean and safe hotel. Eventually, we found an alternative hotel 45 minutes away, but it was nearly midnight before we were able to settle in. During this process, I signed an agreement with Expedia to facilitate the transfer and was told the additional charges were due to the higher rate at the new hotel. However, I later discovered an undisclosed $490 fee associated with this transfer. This fee was not communicated to me as anything beyond the difference in hotel rates, and I feel this lack of transparency is deeply unethical.
Additionally, a week after the incident, my request for a refund for the original, uninhabitable hotel room was denied. It is unacceptable that Expedia facilitated the booking of an unsuitable hotel and has since refused to secure a refund for a service that was not delivered. This experience goes far beyond a simple service failure. It was deeply traumatic for my family, who are already navigating significant personal challenges. I am appalled by this experience and the lack of accountability on Expedia's part. It is unreasonable for a travel agency to fail in ensuring basic standards of accommodation and then refuse to compensate for the inconvenience and financial burden placed on the client.

We booked a vacation to Punta Cana in January and bought insurance in case there were weather-related issues. Before leaving the airport when our flight was cancelled, we immediately reached out to Expedia to let them know of the cancellation of the flight and asked them to cancel the hotel and our pre-paid transport. They said before we filed a claim, they would like to reach out to the resort and driver to request a refund. Each day for the entire vacation, I reached out to Expedia because the resort and driver reached out several times. Expedia said they were "trying to reach the resort but hadn't been able to do so". However, each time I reached out to the resort to ask for a refund, they referred me back to Expedia. Expedia said I should wait 72 hours and they would try to get my refund without filing insurance because it would be faster.
On the day we were to come home, the driver for our transport phoned us asking where we were because he was there to pick us up and the hotel reached out with instructions for check out. The following day, Expedia emailed to say they tried to waive the cancellation fee with the hotel but were unable to do so. But they never suggested using the insurance we paid for (and have filed a claim). Expedia clearly didn't do their job in letting the resort or the transportation know we had cancelled! They also didn't tell me to just file the claim... instead, they wasted my time in trying to communicate with them and delayed the refund through insurance.

Their messaging system warns that the property may not respond for several days. When I arrived in Rome I attempted to contact the property through a nearby hotel who was more than happy to help, when I offered him the number, he said he knew it because this was a constant problem and he gets a lot of business that way. He could not get an answer. My telephone operates by wifi calling so I can use it in Rome, but only to call USA numbers.
I went to the chat system with EXPEDIA and the agent there was not able to contact them, I had no idea HOW to contact them at that point and neither did the agent. THE AGENT instructed me to find another property at which to stay, and EXPEDIA would initiate my refund request. I stayed the first night at the property where the manager was that assisted me, and the next two (because BB was still not answering or responding to the message I sent as of today Dec 23), at Hotel TITO booked through EXPEDIA, double dipping on one trip.
It appears at this time that if BB Roma does not answer the phone or respond to messages, you have no room or refund, what a scam. It took Expedia 5-6 weeks to get them on the phone, and now EXPEDIA says there is no refund because I cancelled after the cancellation window closed. I DID NOT CANCEL. I was denied a promised room.

However, obviously it had sent a booking request to the airline's system since they recieved and fulfilled a flight booking. I'm just glad it had not issued a ticket for each time I had tried again.
So obvious glitch in the Expedia system, the funny thing was the first customer service rep I spoke to accepted that something strange happened but kept on claiming that the system was not showing no errors so as far as she was concerned there was no glitch and she could do nothing. Spoke to a supervisor who checked that the flight booking was real and confirmed and accepted that there was a glitch in the system. She offered me a $50 coupon for hotel booking as an apology for the hassle which was nice of her but it does not inspire any confidence in actually ever wanting to use the Expedia.ca site ever again to book anything.

Booked hotel in Bangkok last night - was in AUD as booking from Australia. Transfer went thru. & was $370.AUD higher than the quoted price which included all Fees & Taxes. Contacted Expedia, twice, got the run around, the snip of the Expedia website wouldn't work to show the disparity.. They did e-mail me & I was able to copy & paste from web into the e-mail, however the nightly rate had gone up $10.AUD, interesting! After a lot of two & fro the Support rep from Expedia said he would refer it to the Hotel Manager, but of course it was after 11pm so I would receive e-mail when I wake up. The rep had offered that the Hotel would have to cancel the whole booking & I start again, basically got me off the line as I was persistent.
This morning I go back into the site & the second interaction with Support rep from Expedia was removed from the thread. They blame the hotel but immediately their actions suggest otherwise. Have tried several times & in the end was asked to call the hotel.Don't have international on my phone so have tried Messenger & Facebook but no luck - my IT knowledge unfortunately.

I am now in the process of preparing a negative review regarding my experience and exploring the possibility of pursuing a class action lawsuit against Expedia for what I perceive as unfair policies and the unwillingness to assist paying customers. It is unacceptable for a company of your size and reputation to engage in practices that leave customers feeling disrespected and financially taken advantage of.

I booked a multi-leg international flight for five passengers through Expedia 10 months prior to my trip and immediately purchased seats through the airlines (Iberia and it's code share partner American). Iberia canceled multiple legs of my trip and I re-booked through Expedia. The entire trip is a mess now. I have two bookings for American and one of them makes no sense (departing my layover before I arrive). I've lost all of my seat assignments that I paid for and risk having the correct American booking canceled by Sabre when it identifies there are two booking references. I can't even purchase new seats for my flights online or through an agent. I have spent 11 1/2 hours on the phone with Iberia, American, and Expedia.
I was on hold for 4 1/2 hours before being connected with an Expedia customer service representative. In the 11 1/2 hours I'm exactly where I started and nothing has been fixed. Both airlines say Expedia should have transferred my seat assignments to the new flights and Expedia says the airlines should do that. Expedia's suggestion is that I just show up at the airport and let the airlines assign my seats at that time. I've traveled enough to know that flights are always over booked and if you don't have a seat assignment you are the first to get bumped from the flight. I booked in advance so my family could sit together in good seats toward the front of the aircraft away from the toilets. Assuming I get on the flights at all, at best we will be scattered throughout the plane in middle seats.

DO NOT USE EXPEDIA! I recently booked two hotel rooms for two nights each and a rental car for three days through Expedia. Due to travel issues, I only needed one room for two nights and the other for one night. I was within the window to change or modify the request and attempted to do so through Expedia's online support. Unfortunately, it would only let me cancel the second room for both nights and then cross my fingers and hope there was still a room available that I could book for the now updated rate. When I finally found a phone number for Expedia it took forever to get to a person. The person informed me that she had canceled the second room for the first night and I received the updated itinerary. However, when I reached the hotel there was no record of the change. Fortunately, the manager was understanding and didn't charge me for the night.
I also booked a rental car for my son and prepaid the rental and insurance. However, when he got to the Hertz counter in Minneapolis, they recharged him insurance. It is impossible to get through to customer support at Hertz and Expedia stated they would look into it. I will never use either of these companies again due to their lack of operational competency, integrity, and suspect business practices.

I am extremely disappointed with Expedia and their lack of customer support. I had booked a hotel in Las Vegas through Expedia for my birthday vacation. Unfortunately, due to an issue at the border, we missed our flight and the entire vacation. I immediately contacted Expedia to explain the situation and requested a refund or at least some kind of resolution for the missed hotel reservation. Despite my efforts, Expedia refused to offer any refund or even a credit for future use. The customer service agents I spoke with were unhelpful, showing no empathy or understanding of the unforeseen circumstances.
I understand that certain bookings have cancellation policies, but given the circumstances that were completely out of my control, I expected a more flexible and customer-oriented approach. Instead, I was met with rigid policies and poor communication. What was supposed to be a special birthday celebration turned into a frustrating experience, and Expedia’s refusal to assist has left me extremely dissatisfied.

I rented a car in Romania this summer through Expedia from Priceless Car Rentals. This company scammed me of almost 4000 CAD by selling me a car protection (Third Party Liability) instead of the deposit and saying that I’ll get back my money then I provide the full policy from Expedia, knowing that the Expedia insurance doesn't cover that, even though I bought the protection plan from Expedia when I rented the car. The renting period was from the 2nd until the 16th of August 2024. I contacted Expedia when I was in Romania, explained them the situation and they told me not to worry because they are going to take care of it.
Expedia called the company, and they said that they are going to refund the money charged for this protection, but they never did. Looking at the Google reviews of Priceless Car Rentals in Romania (unfortunately too late) I realized that this scam is going for years with the same outcome .... people losing thousands of dollars for a few weeks car rental from this Romanian company. When I came back to Montreal, I continued to talk to Expedia for many hours and their final answer was: they can’t do nothing about it and I should see with the Priceless Car Rentals company from Romania for the refund.
Considering that this scam is happening repeatedly using the same technique (charging a huge amount for the Third Party Liability knowing that Expedia doesn’t cover that) and many people contacted Expedia to explain this situation, by law, Expedia should warn its clients when renting with Priceless Car Rentals. I checked today to see if I can rent a car with Priceless Car Rentals in Romania (Bucharest) through Expedia, and guess what, the company is still there and Expedia is not doing anything about it.
I found some case laws in which people won against Expedia (in North America) for similar situations with other car rental companies from Europe. Knowing that, I will soon send a Formal Notice to Expedia and open a case against them afterwards. Fortunately, some people from North America who have been scammed the same way, already contacted me. If there are other people from North America who are in the same situation as me and want more information about the complaints I made until now, please write to me on Facebook Messenger (I’m from Montreal, Canada).

Absolutely the worst experience with this company. I bought a ticket back in April to visit my parents, but unfortunately, I had to cancel at the last minute. I called Expedia to get a refund, but of course, that wasn’t possible. Instead, they generously offered me a credit—oh, but only for Turkish Airlines! They also kindly let me know I’d have to pay a $175 rebooking fee.
Fast forward to September, when I contacted Expedia again to use my credit. I spoke to an agent via chat who informed me that the rebooking fee was now $400. Naturally, I asked why the fee had doubled, and they confidently told me, "It’s always been that way." I reached out to Turkish Airlines, who, unsurprisingly, had no record of my credit and told me to deal with Expedia since, apparently, they hadn’t bothered to share the information. So, I called Expedia again, where a very helpful agent named Maximus (or so he called himself) explained that for a $1000 ticket, despite having a credit of $1223, I’d still need to pay an additional $800 in rebooking fees. How reasonable! When I asked how that made any sense, he said my original ticket was "one of a kind"—a unique promotion.
As if things couldn’t get worse, when I tried to ask for details, Maximus lost his cool and questioned whether I even understood English. When I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, he told me they simply don’t exist in their world. But when I called back later, surprise! Maximus had suddenly promoted himself to supervisor! Now that’s career advancement! He continued to insist that I didn’t understand English and that, yes, I still had to pay $800 for a $1000 ticket, despite my $1223 credit. And, of course, he reminded me again how I apparently can’t understand English.
After getting nowhere with Maximus, I jumped back into the chat, where another agent informed me that, actually, the rebooking fee was only $400. Progress, right? Wrong. Just when I was finally ready to book my trip, I was told, oops, they made a mistake. I couldn’t use my credit after all. But hey, at least they would refund me my money—minus the $175 rebooking fee, of course. After three days of calls and hours of being on the phone, I thought I had reached a resolution.
A week passes—still no money in my account. I contact Expedia again, and now they’ve got a brand-new story: they can’t refund the money because there’s "an error" when transferring the funds. So, I give them a new account number, and I can only hope that this time, maybe, just maybe, they’ll be able to return my money.
Such a professional company! It only took me four days of calls to get my refund because, clearly, my English is so terrible (according to Maximus), my card mysteriously stopped working, and my original ticket was so "one of a kind" that even after taking my money, they couldn’t manage to sell me another one. Bravo, Expedia!

We had no choice but to upgrade our rental with Thrifty, but we had to pay twice because they didn't recognize the payment we had already made through Expedia (which was $381 USD!). Thrifty told us we needed to resolve the issue with Expedia. Expedia barely responded to our emails. At first, they tried to claim that we had never paid for the service, but after we provided proof with bank receipts, they simply stated that "unfortunately" they couldn't refund us. Please, never use Expedia if you don't want to get robbed!

Hello all victims of Expedia. Used to be a member but no more even though cancel my cruise. Terrible experience about my flight which was canceled by Expedia.

I booked a five-day vacation to Hawaii with a flight, hotel, and car rental. The price was a steal. I have booked hotels with Expedia and never had any problems. An emergency arose, and I was forced to cancel my reservation. This was a true nightmare, and Expedia was no help. They refused to cancel my reservation and did not give me any refund. They even suggested that I reach out to the companies and try to get a refund. I will NEVER book with Expedia again, and I would rather pay a higher price and book directly with the airlines. Then, I had a company called travel team contacting me, charging me a cancellation fee of 1,000 dollars to get a refund, and it was all a scam.

Hitting nonrefundable by mistake, was in touch with Expedia shortly after. Was told if I pay $6.13 a night then I can cancel. I need to do this prior to a day 48 hours away. So, I did. Told then they will be in touch with hotel, cancel and get number for me. No, hotel will not accept. Now call AIG. I know who AIG is and it all makes no sense. Finally got thru to the hotel reservations. They could not find me at all. Last name not any normal name. I told them that Expedia has been in touch with you 6 or so times trying to cancel. Told right then and there they have nothing to do with Expedia, call them. So, set and pay Expedia, call within 24 hours to cancel.
To cancel purchase cancel insurance now and you can cancel. Give money goes to AIG. Now you need to deal with AIG, meanwhile they have your money.

I would not recommend using Expedia or any third-party for that matter, and know I won't ever again, as of yesterday. It's the second time Expedia tried to keep my money due to a "policy." Years ago I had to let an airline ticket go for $850 because I was hospitalized and that didn't qualify. They would not accept the hospitalization letter and both United and Expedia kept transferring me and telling me to call the other one.
Yesterday I was scammed by their "customer service." I had Googled customer support and maybe that was my mistake, but I got about 4 obnoxious Indian men all telling me I could not cancel a duplicate order for $1200, it was too late, and I could pay $200 per night instead of $225 or just get a voucher for use same place, duration and within 30 days (who needs that, right?). One hung up on me, one called me back.
They had my information about the hotel, duration, last four of my card, sent me emails with a "code" to read back to them, so I thought they were real. The number they called me on is 844-424-6242. When I said I am not paying that for a mistake I made with two tabs open, they said they could not reverse it. Save yourself the brain-drain and do not use Expedia and be careful with other third-parties. I find it exhausting and frustrating. They used to be great and I've used them for 20 years. Not sure what happened. I'd gladly pay the extra to not have this aggravation and will go direct from now on.

An hour later I received a call from the reservations dept telling me that the hotel was in fact booked and had no vacancy and asked me to stay on line while my refund was processed.

He also could not tell me what was the name of the company I made the reservation with.
Two days later I received an invoice from my supposed stay at Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn could not help because I made the reservation through Expedia. I called the customer service number on the invoice and was told I would receive a refund within 7 to 10 days. It's been 16 days and no refund. When I call them they say the same thing like robots.

I've used Expedia for over 10 years and was quite happy with their service. Their website was user-friendly and flexible. However, this year (2024), I've booked five trips on Expedia and encountered issues with all of them. The most recent problem involved an all-inclusive package to Cozumel, which was booked in May. When double-checking the details today (July 4th), I noticed that our resort was actually on the mainland, not on the island of Cozumel. When I finally reached a customer service representative, he blamed me for not checking the hotel's address. I pointed out that it was offered as a package offered deal by Expedia, but he insisted that Expedia is a self-service travel agency and that it was my responsibility to verify these details. To fix the problem, they wanted to charge an extra $9,000 to stay at a resort on the island.
My receipt indicated that I could cancel until July 11, but when I said I wanted to cancel, he said I wouldn't get a full refund. He claimed he could only refund Expedia's portion of the trip. Then, he proposed a convoluted solution where if I paid $1,000 upfront, I could get $3,000 back plus a $1,000 airline credit. This sounded like a scam to me – and so did my credit card company took one dollar from my credit card to "test" it????? I spent almost two hours on the phone with Michael and Hector, dealing with this, but no real solution was offered. I would advise everyone to avoid using Expedia. When things go well, there's no problem, but if issues arise, they refuse to take responsibility. As someone who travels frequently, I will never use Expedia again, and they don't seem to care about losing a loyal customer.

I recently had a profoundly disappointing experience with Expedia's customer service, which was characterized by a lack of support and accountability. This situation involved a disrupted flight itinerary that left my parents stranded in an unfamiliar city, exacerbating an already stressful situation. The ordeal started with a routine inquiry to Expedia after my parents' flight was unexpectedly diverted, causing them to miss their connecting flight. Although I hoped for a swift and effective resolution, the service provided by Expedia was neither. The initial conversation with the representative, Bernan **, involved a lot of deflection of responsibility to American Airlines. Despite multiple assurances that they would help, the conversation was largely unproductive, with Expedia refusing to take any responsibility for the booking issue.
As the interaction progressed, another representative, Rahul, joined the conversation. Rahul informed me that the tickets purchased were basic economy, which typically does not allow for exchanges or refunds. This was frustrating to hear at such a late stage. His suggestion was to speak over the phone, which I declined due to my growing frustration and concern for my parents. Rahul’s demeanor was patronizing at times, suggesting that issues could be resolved if only more money was paid for refundable fares. This felt like a dismissive remark about my financial situation, which added insult to injury.
Throughout the conversation, it became evident that Expedia was unprepared to offer any real solutions, continually insisting that I deal directly with American Airlines—even though the booking was made through their platform. The representatives’ repeated assertions that the airline, not Expedia, was responsible for dealing with the situation, underscored a significant lack of accountability.
Moreover, after enduring this lengthy and unhelpful interaction, they contacted my mother directly and attempted to mitigate the situation by offering a mere $100, which felt like an attempt to placate rather than solve the root issues. This experience has not only diminished my trust in Expedia’s ability to support its customers during travel disruptions but has also highlighted a stark lack of empathy and effectiveness in their customer service approach. For those considering using Expedia for travel arrangements, be warned that if issues arise, you might find yourself abandoned by Expedia, forced to fend for yourself in dealing with airlines directly, with little to no support from the booking platform.

Title: Booking Error Caused Major Inconvenience - Disappointed with Expedia. Review: ⭐️⭐️. I recently booked a trip to Costa Rica through Expedia, and unfortunately, it turned into a nightmare due to a significant booking error. My itinerary was supposed to take me to Liberia Airport, the closest airport to my destination, the Riu Palace Costa Rica. However, Expedia mistakenly scheduled my flight to arrive at San Jose Airport, which is a staggering four-hour drive away from my intended destination. This error caused immense inconvenience and frustration, as it disrupted my travel plans and added unnecessary stress to what should have been a relaxing vacation. Despite my attempts to resolve the issue with Expedia, the process was slow and unhelpful.
To make matters worse, when I reached out to the airline for assistance, I faced additional challenges in getting the situation rectified. While I understand that mistakes can happen, the lack of accountability and effort to resolve the issue in a timely manner was disappointing. As a result of this experience, I urge fellow travelers to exercise caution when booking through Expedia and to double-check all details to avoid similar mishaps. Additionally, I hope that both Expedia and the airline take steps to improve their customer service and prevent such errors from occurring in the future. I cannot recommend Expedia or the airline involved based on my experience.

I was not allowed to go to Panama because of a security warning regarding violent protests in the capital. I am in the Peace Corps, an American program in Guyana, and I was prevented from going for this reason. Copa said I was eligible for a refund because of the security warning, but that Expedia would need to contact Copa since I’d used them when booking.
Copa initially said I couldn’t request a refund until March 24 because that’s when the security warning for Panama would renew, so I waited until the 24th. I called Copa, who said I could request a refund, but that Expedia would have to submit the request since I’d gone through them as a third party. I then called Expedia, who said I would have to submit an “extenuating circumstances” form online. However, it was impossible to submit that form because the flight was within 72 hours, so I had to call Expedia again. This time Expedia told me I could not request a refund because it was against Copa’s policy, and Copa had not updated the security warning for Panama since March 19th. I told them I needed them to contact Copa, and the customer service representative refused.
Then I called back, and this time a more helpful agent did call Copa. This agent submitted a complaint form to Copa, and I received an email notification for that. This agent also canceled my flight. On March 25 I called Copa Airlines, who told me there was no longer any information about my flight because Expedia had cancelled. The Expedia agent had filled out a Copa complaint form and cancelled my flight, rather than calling them. On March 25 I called Expedia again, and an agent told me she would call Copa. I then received an email from her, telling me she’d contacted Copa, who would send Expedia a code to proceed with the refund. She said she would update me.
I sent two emails to Expedia after this, requesting a follow up. After receiving no response, I called Expedia on April 2nd. The customer service agent told me to fill out an extenuating circumstances form, and said I could select any option (death, medical, military, jury duty), since none were exactly right for this circumstance. I selected medical, and then received a rejection since Copa doesn’t accept medical. I called Expedia back, and an Expedia agent told me the extenuating circumstances form wasn’t right for the situation, and apologized for the other agents directing me there. He told me Expedia would contact Copa about getting the code, and then would contact me. However, I never received a call back.
I then wrote to Expedia on Facebook, who presumably contacted Copa. Copa supposedly then told Expedia I was not eligible for the refund because it was only good through March 19th. I am upset that I received bad advice from both an Expedia representative and a Copa representative, then. The Copa representative I spoke with said I was eligible. The Expedia representative I spoke to told me Copa would send a code for the refund to Expedia, and I allowed her to cancel my booking because of that. If I had known this would happen, I would have changed the flight, since I was still able to do so at that time. Because of bad advice, I allowed her to make the cancellation with no benefit to myself, when if I'd had better information, I would have simply changed the flight.
I only agreed to cancel because an Expedia agent advised me to, in order to get the code. If I had not received this bad advice, I would have scheduled a different flight later. The Copa agents advised me that I was eligible for a refund, but that Expedia would have to contact them. As far as I can tell, Expedia has failed to do this. I have received bad advice and have not received my refund because of Expedia’s incompetence.

I made the call this evening to cancel the room and they refused to refund and told me to call the hotel to verify that it would not be penalize or charge to my bill. Reason I cancelled the room is my aunt passed away today, and this dude kept asking me why I am cancelling the hotel, told him 3x that my aunt passed away in Oregon today! Booked on April 19th thru 21st but she passed away today, they refuse to honor the refund back to my credit card. I spoke with the hotel, he was so nice to me, told me not to worry I will not be charged at their end. But with Expedia, told me I have to fight back to get my refund. I am going to call my credit card and dispute tomorrow. Never ever again. I will not book thru Expedia. They are dirty and liars and rip off! I am going to file a complaint against Expedia thru BBB! Unbelievable, refused to refund my money due to the death in the family, why I would still go up to Oregon after my aunt's passing today?

Daughter was booking family trip through Expedia.com. (I warned her to avoid anything Expedia after horrible experience with VRBO.) She found travel package within our price range. After completing online process she was informed the rental car was no longer available. She was later informed her $ would be refunded. When she attempted to rebook the price increased by almost $1000. To make matters worse a hold was placed on her bank account requiring days to clear. So she called Expedia.com who refused to not honor first package prices, help rebook, or offer some kind of credit to offset the extra cost of the tied up funds. They simply called it bug in the system.

2nd time I have been screwed by Expedia! I will not be using them again. I booked a reservation, and needed to cancel 2 hours after the cancellation window due to my husband's medical issue, and they will not provide a refund. They tell me the hotel has to approve and hotel tells me Expedia has to make the exception. Same as last year, when they cancelled my reservation without notification and my daughter and I showed up in NYC without a place to stay. Expedia blamed the hotel and the hotel blamed Expedia. Nothing but another company of thieves.

My wife and I recently took a trip to New Mexico, booking the flights through Expedia. At the time of booking, I paid extra for an upgraded ticket so I could check baggage and choose seat assignments. When I got to the airport I had to pay again to check luggage and they assigned us random seats so we couldn't sit together. This happened in both directions. So, I've double paid several hundred dollars. I tried calling Expedia but they make it very hard to talk to anyone and then you have to supply them with copies of receipts, seat assignments, etc. They haven't send me any accounting of the money they billed me and they make the whole process as opaque as possible. This isn't the first time this has happened.
On a previous trip, while holding a confirmation for my flight, when I showed up at the airport, the airline had bumped me from the flight without explanation. I had to spend another night in a hotel till I could arrange another flight home. I received no compensation. There seems to be a pattern of fraud here and unfortunately companies like these abuse their power to maximize profits as their customer's expense. I will never deal with Expedia again.

I have a policy also; never do business with liars and cheats. I had two rooms booked through Expedia. I needed to change the dates and called the hotel directly 3 days in advance. They said there was nothing they could do; it was non-refundable and non-changeable as per the booking agent Expedia. So I spent the next hour on Expedia chat. Expedia indirectly (apparently incapable of simple direct answers) stated that they could do me a favor and change the dates for a “penalty fee.” If I paid an additional $350 for the $200 room, they could make the change. But there was no way I was getting a refund or even a partial credit. Expedia claimed the no refund policy was the hotel's. The hotel said it was Expedia’s policy.

I must say that it has been a very disappointing and confusing experience. I have been using Expedia services for about 10 years and never dealt with such careless way of handling a business. I have booked many many flights and rooms throughout the years. Just a few days ago I had to cancel 1 night stay at hotel in Nashville. And I never cancel anything! Expedia had it saying that before 12th of March I could cancel it FOR FREE and get my money back. I canceled the room on the 9th of March, thinking everything will be under control, hence Expedia services! I even got an email confirming that the room was canceled! Then later, the hotel charges me for that night and so I go back to the Expedia customer service. They reassure me that I should get my money back and then started breadcrumbing me for a few days saying they are talking to the manager at the hotel...
They eventually told me it's the hotel's policy and I won't get my money back. Why should I worry about hotel's policies if I book stuff through Expedia? I don't know. I will never use Expedia again and I will use their competitors instead. I find it very disrespectful and fishy way to handle business. So this is a story how Expedia lost a very valuable and loyal 10 year customer over $288. Shame on you, Expedia. Customers, don't book through Expedia if you want decent guarantees and refunds. Good luck.

I had purchase a flight from Denver to London for March 15 and a return flight from Dublin to Denver on the 25th of March. I was suppose to fly on Lufthansa coming back from Dublin with a layover in Frankfurt. I heard about the strike the airlines were having. So I decided I would call Expedia to see if I could get another flight out of Dublin. The agent said she could. It would be with JetBlue. But she would have to cancel the Dublin flight. And I would have to pay extra. I asked her on the phone if my London flight would be affected. She said no. About 3 hours later I found out they had cancel both my flights. So I contacted Expedia. After 3 hours chatting with them where they even admitted that the agent accidentally cancel my flight they promised they would refund the full amount. And if I wanted to go on my trip I would have to buy new tickets.
I bought new ticket. Then I get an e-mail from them saying Lufthansa rejected my request for a refund which I don't feel it's Lufthansa fault. To me Expedia is the ones that screwed up and should pay me. Also the airlines Jet Blue had already put a charge on my credit card for the new Dublin flight but haven't even book it yet. I get an e-mail from Jet Blue saying they were working on my flight reservation. I called Jet Blue and told them I didn't need the flight anymore. The guy has the nerve to tell me it's nonrefundable. I can't cancel when they don't even have a flight booked for me yet. Unbelievable.

And, it was freaking $89 (since I had already checked in via the app before coming to the airport). This was the worst experience I had ever encountered while flying. Never again. Will always buy tickets directly from the airlines' website. Expedia, you cheap little scammer. They just make your fare look attractive with lots of hidden expenses. So do yourself and your loved ones a favor and remind them never to book from EXPEDIA!!!

I have used Expedia for years to book most of my air travel, hotels, and car rentals, but I will never use them again. I recently used Expedia to book a 4-night stay at a hotel, which was fully cancellable. When I arrived at the hotel, I told the front desk staff I would only be staying one night. They asked that I call Expedia to process the cancellation so the hotel wouldn't be charged commissions for the 3 canceled nights. I called Expedia and waited on the phone while the Expedia representative contacted the hotel to get their approval. When the Expedia representative returned to our call, he assured me that the 3 nights were canceled and the hotel approved. A few days later, however, my credit card was charged for 4 rather than 3 nights.
I called Expedia, who during that call and over several email exchanges claimed they unsuccessfully attempted to contact the hotel. So I could dispute the charges on my credit card, I asked Expedia to confirm via email that I had called them to cancel the 3 nights and they had notified the hotel of the cancellation. They said they could not provide that verification because of a "system limitation" and from that point on, they framed their emails as if they were trying to negotiate with the hotel for a cancellation waiver after the fact. After evading and misrepresenting the facts, Expedia stated the problem was between the hotel and me.
The hotel manager claimed Expedia never contacted the hotel about the issue but she agreed to credit the charges if Expedia canceled the 3 nights in their booking system so the hotel would not be charged the commissions for those nights. I forwarded the email with the hotel's request/agreement to Expedia but they did not have the courtesy to respond or professionalism to fix (or even acknowledge) what appears to be an error on their part. Expedia seems more concerned with protecting $119.85 worth of commissions than providing quality customer service and maintaining a long-term VIP customer. I will take my travel business elsewhere.

I was approached by an Expedia representative in Cancun Mexico Hotel Riu. The representatives showed many Expedia excursions on their laptops and pictures depicting a wonderful Isla Mujeres excursion. For $245 dollars I was told along with being shown pictures of an awesome Island excursion, crystal clear calm watered snorkeling, lunch buffet in a world class facility and a day on the island and a catamaran with less than ten people and no children. A way better deal than taking the ferry to the island. Golf cart rental for the day and you can drive anywhere on the island.
What we got was wasting 2 hours in line while people tried to sell overpriced things to the groups waiting to board. A catamaran with 40 people on it including children. Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean with severe waves. Children under 10 and anyone over 65 were not allowed to snorkel. Something else they left out. The guides told Spanish speakers the golf carts were $50 dollars an hour and you had to follow the guide, wandering around the island was not allowed. English speakers were told you can rent the golf carts and go anywhere you want all day. This was indeed not the fact they had to follow the guide and only for an hour. We were dumped on the south end of the island with over 300 other people in about a 200 yard area and the food "hotdogs, chips, chicken, were served under the trees in containers with heat canisters. Not what we were led to believe.
There was not enough food for our group, so I went to another group to eat and was ran out without eating. There is limited shade on the strip the ocean was man made, murky and smelled like rotten lake water along with items floating in it. We were forced to sit in this small spot standing room only with hundreds of other people because the boats left us. Something else they failed to mention would happen. We were in this spot for almost 4 hours. Not what we were told was going to happen. By the time the boats came back, and everyone boarded it was 4:50 pm and we headed to the north shore where we docked and got to spend 30 minutes before we had to get back on the boat and head back. I sent multiple pictures and text to the Expedia representative, and he never replied. I tried to speak to him, and he refused to answer.
When I spoke with Expedia, they stated they do not cover, guarantee, or have anything to do with excursions unless they are booked online even though it was their representative. I was told by Expedia staff Tokatoli it is their policy "Unwritten rule" if anyone books anything with their licensed agents for example in other countries in person with their rep like at the hotel, they will not cover any problems that come up. Expedia refused to help me and said I would have to deal with their representative in Cancun even though I am in the US, and he will not respond to me.

I booked airfare with Expedia as I have for nearly two decades. I had to cancel it due to an emergency. It was non-refundable as most of the lower price airfare is nowadays, however I was issued a credit for one of the two tickets anyway and told that he simply needed to book his trip before the date of expiration not take it before that (I clarified this at the time).
I went to book something for him the day before it expired because we just got to a point healthwise where we could safely say we might be able to go. And it wouldn't book. The Expedia website itself cautioned that once a trip is booked they can't add a voucher so get a virtual assistant to help, it couldn't so it got me a "premium assistant" aka a person. Who would only tell me over and over that the voucher was expired even though they admitted they could see on my acct it showed it was not yet. They said the acct was wrong and told me it was expired by 25 minutes. .... Really if this is all Expedia can do and they are charging the same price as the airline on the airline website why are any of us buying on here anymore anyway. There is no "deal". Only a total lack of customer service.

In planning a trip to California, I used Expedia to make our reservations.

Changing the plane reservation (outside of Expedia) was no big deal, changing the hotel (INSIDE of Expedia) was a bit more involved, but the hotel added the extra night to the existing reservation. Not so lucky with the car rental.
Expedia refuses to amend the reservation, the rental car company states they need an email from Expedia, with the person I chatted with refused to comply. Their suggestion?? Make another reservation for the extra day. They want me to make a reservation, go back to the airport the next day and return and re-rent, and then use my original reservation. I'm not changing the dates, not canceling, ADDING more time, (thus more money) to my existing reservation. For this reason, I will never use Expedia again for my travel needs, as they are too difficult to work with if there is a need to make a change to a reservation.

Alamo also has not returned my email nor responded to my request for a refund.
Fortunately, the hotel did both respond and refund the night stay I didn't use. Further, the HIDDEN price Expedia charged for their service was more than the airline tickets!
