Expedia
Reviews and Complaints

I received an email from [protected]@gmail.com stating that it was from Expedia Group. I downloaded MS Teams and had an interview with Brian Moore ([protected]@gmail.com). I then received an email from Scott Helms, [protected]@gmail.com with company offer letter asking for my driver's license. Luckily I didn't send any information to him. I just wanted to let you know that people are giving your name a bad rep.

To whom it may concern.

On December 4, 2022, I had been looking on Expedia site for a booking for January 21-22. This is a site I have used for many years. I know I put in January 21- 22nd in the search bar because I had been looking for this date throughout the last few days and the date stays in your search line. At 3 PM on December 4, 2022, I booked the Best Western Plus Condado Palm Inn, Confirmation number [protected], on the island of San Juan Puerto Rico. You took my credit card and paper; I was at work and had been on a break looking for a hotel. I saw the confirmation come through on my phone but did not have a chance to read as I work in a hospital - I don’t carry my phone while working with patients.

Here is my question. Why would I at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of December 4 book a hotel room, that I would not be able to even arrive at to stay in on that day? There were no flights that could be taken to get me to this hotel in San Juan and I used your app to book my flight. I feel the system made an error. I never spent a night in this hotel it was $187 and some odd cents. I feel I’m entitled to that money back because I know that I put January 21-22 into the search bar. There was no way I could get to the same place on the same day at 3 PM when I was booking the hotel room. I tried talking to Expedia staff and was always told nobody could help me. I then tried calling the contact numbers on your site multiple times, and your phone system hangs up on you when you’re on the phone too long.

This is $187 for a person on a budget. Not to be rude but Expedia makes far more money than me. I cannot believe that there was not one person that I could speak to and have a conversation to correct the issue. I would still appreciate someone contacting my phone [protected] with some assistance, and possibly a refund for something that never should’ve happened. As I said before, I’ve used your site for many years. I know how your site works. I have always used it on my phone without any difficulty. The technician I spoke to was not very polite, and rather insulting to me, which is not what good service is about. All I want is a conversation with a person who can help me with this matter. I still feel I am entitled to a refund for something I was never going to be able to make work for that day and when I went back to Expedia to rebook a new hotel the old date January 21-22 was still there for me to use to try to find a hotel room. I would have written earlier but I was very upset at how the staff I spoke with treated me and did not want to be angry when writing this note. Any help you can give me with this will be gratefully appreciated since.

Sincerely,

Maryanne Cole

I ordered tickets under an old email login. I called Expedia to see if they can move the itinerary to my correct email address. They cannot. I no longer have access to the old email. I also paid to have the tickets refundable and it turns out, while Expedia is great at collecting the refundable fees, they refused to let me cancel the tickets as they say they are not refundable. Do not use this service, they are incompetent.

Reservation was made at the Sheraton Orlando Resort. your website indicated a price of 73.30 per night. when I clicked on it, it told me there was resort fee of 47.90. I realized the first number was a bate and switch, but I accepted it anyway. They made me used a checkmark a to say the funds were not refundable. I paid for it.

Then I received an other email from Expedia that there was a parking fee of 23.00 and change per day after I had already paid. This is dishonest.

Full disclosure should be on the first page for the fee resort and the parking, plain and simple. To me Expedia's intent was clear and unacceptable. When I chose a hotel with a name like the Sheraton Resort, I do not expect to worry about being subject to extortion.

I will not use your services anymore or after I have used used it over 20 years. I will not use The Sheraton either. Fool me once...

Jennifer Warford booked 2 tickets for BA flights from Denver to LHR originally for travel on July 18th 2019 return July 22 2019. Ticket numbers [protected] (Jennifer Warford) and [protected] (Evan Provan)
Travel was cancelled because of visa issue. Credit notes for 2 tickets costing $809.33 each were issued, to be used by September 30th 2023.
Jennifer wants to make the trip this July 2023 but the credits are not acknowledged by BA. Expedia claim that it is a BA issue but it is not a BA voucher number on the credit note.

Deu to covid I had to cancel my flight from Cun to Sao reservation numbrr [protected] I had a credit of US$ 198,00 to use until the 29th January. I called Copa on the 26th of january 2023 they tried to overcharg me to change the flight date as pricy as a new ticket, they were rude and said to me to call Expedia then.

Today I realized that was my last day to book, i tried online at expedia website since 10 pm Brazilian time but the website didnt allow me to book using my credit. I called expedia [protected] waited for 40 minutesto listen that I lost my credit even tho it was still the 29th of January. Expedia is stealling from custumers. First denied to refund me then just disappeared with my money I'm going to sue you Expedia.

I booked a car out of Union Station in Wash DC for yesterday, 1/28. When i arrived, no car. Turns out Expedia had booked my car for pickup in Arlington, VA. Very unclear on site that they changed my pickup location--i never would have paid for that! I had to scramble to find another car, pay again (twice as much for same-day), was late for meeting, and now want a refund on original booking, $35. Customer service on phone was not helpful. Please refund. Horrible

Booked airline tickets through United on Expedia before Covid- United cancelled the flight and issued credits for the value. Trying to redeem the credits has been a nightmare- Expedia says that United is the one that needs to issue the new tickets, and United says that Expedia is the Agent so they need to issue the tickets. There were no disagreements when they charged my credit card in 2020 and they were paid in full. I am stuck now in the middle and neither will help. I find Expedia at fault because they indeed collected the $5200 I paid-

My girlfriend and I rented a car through expedia on January 11, 2023 Expdia itinerary [protected] confirmation #PEXPA11098FB. We requested a mid size vehicle with navigation. Upon arrival at Piarco Airport in Trinidad we waited 30 minutes at the counter no one was there. When the young lady arrived she gives us a car without navigation, we explain that we needed navigation and we checked the navigation box when we ordered the car. She demanded that we pay extra for the navigation system and stated our cars do not have navigation, also she wanted us to pay for additional insurance which we already paid for during our reservations. She give a blue nissan City that was obviously repaired badly from a previous accident I had to take 22 photos of scratches and dents. She gave us a car with less than a 1/4 tank of gas. The vehicle runs on both gas and CNG we explained to her we do not know anything about CNG, can we have a vehicle with just fuel. She stated there was no other vehicle available this was the best car they had. I asked to speak to a manger, she stated she is the boss I believe her name is Annessia. We took the car and could not find a gas station with CNG after stopping several times. The GPS system would not find the Address in Moruga where we was going, it took us 5 hours to go 1hour in 1/2 drive. While driving on the highway the front of the car seemed to have wobble. When we arrived it was dark outside the interior light did not work. We contacted the Piarco rental so that we may exchange vehicles. After a 2 hour drive we waited 2 hours and 15 minutes to exchange a car, She attempted to give us another car with a bald left front tire we refused it I have photos of that vehicle. Finally a young man named Dominic assisted us in getting a better car which had navigation in it. during this time we had to cancel reservations we had because exchanging the vehicle took entirely too long. As we began to drive we find the the car GPS system is in Japanese and can not be change to English. This was a horrible experience as being an American visitor, I felt abandoned in a foreign country. I would expect that any business would try to make an outsider welcomed. I am grateful that my iPhone was international or I would be stranded. I am compelled to inform the United States Embassy to warn American Citizens not to rent from Economy car rentals in Trinidad. However I would like to thank Dominic for attempting to ease our displeasure. There is more that can be added.

Yesterday I called to change just one leg of my flight to Dublin. That kicked off what was a day of conversations with four people and being put on hold about 1 1/2 hours in total. The whole process felt like a scam.

The issue is this: In changing one AA leg, how did they 1) end up cancelling the original booking after the initial conversation and rebooking on BA, and 2) charging me $499.99 extra only to then call later and say I have a flight credit due me?

I paid expedia for my fight baggage fee. they did not pay the airline so I had to pay the airline when checking in. I had spoken to your rep and advised I would receive a refund ($85), no refund to date

confirmation number QNC63E, flight NK 1250

Please note this flight was in September 2022 and I have been attempting to resolve this issue. If I do not receive refund by 1/30, I will go to small claims court

As my travel plans have changed, I wanted to amend the dates from 11-14 Mar 2023 to 11-13 Mar 2023. However, the virtual agent gets stuck after asking to click SELECT /CHANGE DATES. Neither link provided in confirmation e mail is functional so I am also unable to open MANAGE BOOKING.

My booking details are :

Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Sloterdijk Station, an IHG Hotel

Kindly confirm that dates have been changed...and someone needs to look in to EXPEDIA complaint portal..so difficult to find it.

Using Expedia's search engine, we booked a holiday package for a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children (pre-teens). We were travelling to Bali, where we had never been before.

Once we arrived in Bali, we took a driver to the accommodation, which was miles away from anywhere, and waited while they made up our rooms. When we got to our room, we discovered that despite having booked for a 2dults and 2 children, the room only contained 1 king bed. We asked if they had any other accommodation for us and they said no. We then stated that we are a family of 4 and cannot all stay in the 1 bed, so if they don't have any other option, then we will need to get a refund and then find somewhere else to stay. The manager agreed to provide a refund, but asked us to go through Expedia to do so. They also said they will let Expedia know.

We tried to lodge it on their website on the day, but because it was check in day, we weren't able to. Additionally, we had to work to find a place for our family to stay as it was getting late and we were in a strange country.

Once we returned home, I raised a request for refund with Expedia. They tried to contact the hotel but they were unsuccessful. They did tell me, however, that they would continue to contact the hotel for the next 72hours and hope to have a resolution by then. I didn't hear from them.

I then contacted them again and went through the same script. Again I didn't hear from them.

And again. This time I heard via email that they weren't succesful.

And again. This time I asked if I need to keep calling them again and again because I don't actually hear from them. I also asked what happens if they don't hear from them as they have apparently been contacting them for the last 4 months. I was told they will escalate this again. And so the hamster wheels go.

There are two things going on here, and one is why the accommodation are not responding when they agreed that they would provide a refund. the other one is the ownership or lack thereof of Expedia when it comes to their search engine failing and ripping off customers and their partners. When I input 2 adults and 2 children, I expect the suggestions to be aligned.

This whole experience has been stressful and distasteful. I will never use Expedia again.

I used to use Expedia to book my flights because they offered the ease of 24-hour free cancellation with refunds.

But for the last couple of times, they offered credits instead of refunds. I argued with them because that meant I had to call agents to use those credits and my money was locked. But Expedia said issuing credits/voucher was airline company's policy. Fortunately, I was able to use one credit while I was hoping to use the second later.

Unfortunately I never received a reminder email about expiration date for the second credit voucher and the second one expired before I could use it. It's $303.70 and isn't a small amount for me. The airline record locator is UUPTHP. The first few times I spoke to Expedia, they again blamed it on American Airlines. I looked up and contacted executives at American Airlines. They clarified that issuing travel voucher is not their policy but it's actually Expedia. Yesterday I contacted Expedia and now they had a different spin on the story.

Could I please request a refund.

Thanks,

Girish

Jan 13 2023 I had paid for this night. Got up friday morn to ice and snow. The temp saturday morn was to be 12 and high 28. I had to leave a day early to get ahead of the store. Holiday lodge said I had to contact you for a refund.

My ID# [protected]. MY reservation was Jan 11- Jan 14 2023.

The stay was at the Holiday lodge in Oakhill wv.

The clerk told me they could not give me a refund since it was a third party, but would have if I had booked directly with them.

I purchase a ticket with expedia. Itinerary # [protected]. They offered a flgith protection that I accepted and bought for 341. 16. Now they cancelled one of the flights and offered me a refund minus the price of the flight protection that they say is not refundable.

Please see below the total from the receipt for the ticket and what they offered to refund. Clearly 341.16 is missing.

Hello,

My frailly could not use international flights in March 2020 due to Covid. Flights are sitting as a credit and Qantas have confirmed the credit is fine to use but must be rebooked by Expedia. This was reconfimed with Qantas in december 2022.
Expedia need to contact Qantas agency connect to rebook. I am sure Qantas are difficult to get through to so they are also at fault but expedia staff always promise to get back to me and no one ever does. Every time I call I have to explain my case over and over again. Does no one take notes?

I want to use my flight credit which is my money,... I have flights picked, book me please. I have been so polite and patient but am really getting very frustrated.

I just wanted to share recent experience with Expedia and hope you could help

We booked a package with Expedia for a family vacation. We chose the option Expedia presented to us. Unfortunately, the outbound flight got cancelled because of bad weather. We called Expedia multiple times with a hold time of more than an hour to see how Expedia can help. Unfortunately, they declined to help citing fine prints. They asked to call hotel and Airline directly for refund. This is Ridiculous. Why should we book through Expedia if they cannot help with the package, we booked from them. Was this customer's fault that outbound flight was cancelled. It was bad weather which entire country faced. Alaska was kind enough to refund that outbound flight money (from PDX to Cancun). Since we could not fly out, how can we check in to the hotel (Casa Maya hotel in Cancun) and come back home (which Expedia booked us through AeroMexico). Customer service took us in circle with no help.. This vacation package lost most of our money, and Expedia has no regret. We lost 70 % of our money around $3500. This was our first family vacation outside US and we all are so disappointed. Is Expedia Customer Obsessed? Or Expedia just making their partners make money and get commission from them? How do you make your customer trust you and do business with you with a peace of mind Yes, we could have booked everything individually? If certain partner is so adamant (who doesn't care about customer) why do you present them as an option in the package? This experience has hit us hard financially and emotionally. Unless some magic happens where you can help, We are not going with Expedia in the future, and will advise all friends and family to do the same. Book individually or through Costco (not through Expedia) to get a better piece of mind.

BTW we planned to travel from Portland (PDX) to Cancun, MX on Dec 24th

On December 20,2022 AA advised us that it had approved a refund for Nick Hoogendyk and Min Ahn for Ticket numbers [protected] and [protected]. The record locator for both tickets is DZA2MU. We were informed that we should contact our travel agency (Expedia) for payment of the refund.

Please provide us with the date that Expedia will make the refund.

Flight was cancelled by airline in 2020. I have been in contact with Expedia via telephone, email and online chat for the entire period. I have requested a refund on each occasion and have been promised that there would be resolve in 72 hours (this was 12 months ago). I have spent countless hours communicating with Expedia staff whom assure me that all conversations are recorded. I even opt to have my phone conversation recorded and screen shot the online chat.

Today is the final straw for me as a consumer. I have attempted to speak with Expedia staff on the online chat and have been advised to contact Garuda Indonesia and use my credit.

I can attach emails and any other documentation required to confirm the endless battle i have had to obtain my refund.

Could you please contact me on my mobile or via email as soon as possible.
