Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Again, I believe what they are saying is not true I believe Expedia DOES NOT makes every effort to ensure that their customers have a clear understanding of their selections and of the terms and conditions associated with the travel items they are purchasing If you like I can provide another screen shot of the next page after you click on continue It will show the same guarantee which you can click on for details and it clearly states, "After hours standard cancellation policies apply." Which indicates that the details contained in the cancellation policy only need to be reviewed if you are concerned about cancelling after the hours Honestly, what good does the hr cancellation guarantee do for ANYONE, if when you do cancel, you are charged a large cancellation fee I needed to check a few more details before I finalized my trip, but they enticed me with no risk guarantee When I found out the date would not work I had to cancel Since Expedia is a third party(selling airline travel and hotels), and they are unable to make this promise (or guarantee), then perhaps they should not make it If they are claiming they have fine print somewhere taking this guarantee away, then I believe most reasonable people would find this dishonest or disingenuous Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Totally wrongThe hotel stay was never given, then how can it be utilized in fullThere was an error on Expedia endYou said room was booked and no need to callBut in reality no room was givenThis is indeed an error, mistake, misrepresentation, promise from Expedia endAlso I checked my account (sekhar.***@gmail.com is the account ID) and I do not see any coupons or voucher amounts as said in the earlier response.Original email from expedia: [redacted] Sat May/23/- Mon May/25/room | nightsBOOKEDYour reservation is bookedNo need to call us to reconfirm this reservationView hotel details [redacted] Piscataway, NJ, United States of AmericaTel: [redacted] , Fax: [redacted] Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:The emails from Expedia (attached) actually said 'There is not need to confirm your flight' In addition, it provides me will all sorts of info about passports, Visa and baggage charges, but nothing about an early cut off time to check in to the flight The airline had told me that the information about the chetime should be on my ticket Since the ticket was issued by Expedia, they should have been responsible for putting the information on the ticket Since I do not frequently fly internationally, and never before out of such a small airport as Syracuse, it did not occur to me that checkin would be closed so far before the flight At larger airports I might have needed an hour or more just to go through security and walk to the gate However, my flight held only a few passengers and getting to the gate took only a couple of minutes, so that much time is certainly not needed in this caseSincerely, [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: First, the problem with getting the voucher is Expedia's faultExpedia has admitted that a site error is the reason I can't access the voucher informationTherefore, Expedia has a duty to ensure I am able to enjoy the activities that were sold to meExpedia could have done a number of things to rectify its errorThey could have re-booked the activities on its websites and given me new voucher numbersExpedia could have contacted the vendors directly and worked out some agreement with them to still allow me to go an the excursions and find some way to pay themI think either of these two options would have been what any reasonable person would expect a company similar to Expedia to do when an error like this occurs Instead customer service representatives talked to me like I was stupidThey tried to explain to me the process of getting the voucher information even after I told them that I was aware of how to do itThey argued with me when I said there was a problem on Expedia's websiteOne representative even told to restart my computer and said that should fix the problemExpedia customer service representatives are clearly not properly trainedEven the supervisor's suggestion that to refund and have me book myself shows the lack effort by Expedia to resolve their mistakesThey point of paying Expedia is to arrange activities through vendorsIf I have to do it myself, then what use is Expedia? Furthermore, Expedia hasn't even given me the websites or company names that I can book these activities with Sincerely, [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: What they are talking about is in fine prints that can not be read and was not clearly disclosed at the tile of booking There should be more consumer protection against all these fine prints They also made another trick is that although the invoice is coming from them (attached) the charge on my credit card was directly from the cruise, so when I disputed the charge with my credit card, the cruise responded there is nothing they can do because it was booked through a third party, while my credit card company was not able to dispute this difference with expedia because they were not able to locate the charge from expedia company, Revdex.com should protect consumer against these types of transactions, please I need the details of my complaint published so people do not get tricked with this company like I did, I will also make sure to post all details on all social media.Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Totally wrongThe hotel stay was never given, then how can it be utilized in fullThere was an error on Expedia endYou said room was booked and no need to callBut in reality no room was givenThis is indeed an error, mistake, misrepresentation, promise from Expedia endAlso I checked my account (sekhar.***@gmail.com is the account ID) and I do not see any coupons or voucher amounts as said in the earlier response.Original email from expedia: [redacted] Sat May/23/- Mon May/25/room | nightsBOOKEDYour reservation is bookedNo need to call us to reconfirm this reservationView hotel details [redacted] Piscataway, NJ, United States of AmericaTel: [redacted] , Fax: [redacted] Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:The emails from Expedia (attached) actually said 'There is not need to confirm your flight' In addition, it provides me will all sorts of info about passports, Visa and baggage charges, but nothing about an early cut off time to check in to the flight The airline had told me that the information about the chetime should be on my ticket Since the ticket was issued by Expedia, they should have been responsible for putting the information on the ticket Since I do not frequently fly internationally, and never before out of such a small airport as Syracuse, it did not occur to me that checkin would be closed so far before the flight At larger airports I might have needed an hour or more just to go through security and walk to the gate However, my flight held only a few passengers and getting to the gate took only a couple of minutes, so that much time is certainly not needed in this caseSincerely, [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: First, the problem with getting the voucher is Expedia's faultExpedia has admitted that a site error is the reason I can't access the voucher informationTherefore, Expedia has a duty to ensure I am able to enjoy the activities that were sold to meExpedia could have done a number of things to rectify its errorThey could have re-booked the activities on its websites and given me new voucher numbersExpedia could have contacted the vendors directly and worked out some agreement with them to still allow me to go an the excursions and find some way to pay themI think either of these two options would have been what any reasonable person would expect a company similar to Expedia to do when an error like this occurs Instead customer service representatives talked to me like I was stupidThey tried to explain to me the process of getting the voucher information even after I told them that I was aware of how to do itThey argued with me when I said there was a problem on Expedia's websiteOne representative even told to restart my computer and said that should fix the problemExpedia customer service representatives are clearly not properly trainedEven the supervisor's suggestion that to refund and have me book myself shows the lack effort by Expedia to resolve their mistakesThey point of paying Expedia is to arrange activities through vendorsIf I have to do it myself, then what use is Expedia? Furthermore, Expedia hasn't even given me the websites or company names that I can book these activities with Sincerely, [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: What they are talking about is in fine prints that can not be read and was not clearly disclosed at the tile of booking There should be more consumer protection against all these fine prints They also made another trick is that although the invoice is coming from them (attached) the charge on my credit card was directly from the cruise, so when I disputed the charge with my credit card, the cruise responded there is nothing they can do because it was booked through a third party, while my credit card company was not able to dispute this difference with expedia because they were not able to locate the charge from expedia company, Revdex.com should protect consumer against these types of transactions, please I need the details of my complaint published so people do not get tricked with this company like I did, I will also make sure to post all details on all social media.Sincerely, [redacted] ***
