Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. ***, Revdex.com case number *** regarding a refund. We understand that Ms. is requesting a refund of $920.23.
Our records indicate on January 28, 2020, the reservation was created by *** for *** or an authorized user of the account booked a roundtrip flight on *** Airlines departing on May 4, 2020 from Charlotte, NC to San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico and returning on May 8, 2020, with four night hotel stay at *** -All Inclusive-Adult Only, along with a four day rental car with *** the Vacation Waiver via ***. Ms *** called in asking for supervisor because reservation was made for only one passenger and there should be two. Our representative offered to make separate reservation and she did not want that. The call was disconnected our representative called back but the call went to voice mail.
On February 24, 2020, the customer contacted our Social Media Team and advised the ticket was voided on January 28th and she has not received a refund as yet. Our representative advised to wait for two billing cycles and to contact *** to get money back.
After further review on April 29, 2020, Expedia spoke with *** om April 24, 2020. *** advised that they are not able to discuss the account without the customer on the line.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
I bought a flight ticket from expedia, And it says that if I cancel it within 24 hours, there is no penalty for cancelation. But when I tried to cancel it, there is only a link to submit the cancel form, so I submitted the cancel form within 24 hours from my booking. After that, I tried many times to call their customer service and sent email to them to make sure if I cancel my ticket successfully, but no one answered me. After that, I finally get contact with one agent, they said that I was supposed to call them to cancel the ticket instead of submit the cancel form, and refused to give me full refund.

I purchased flights for an international flight, scheduled to leave March 19, 2020. I ALSO purchased traveler's insurance, both through Expedia. On March 13th, I submitted an online form through Expedia per their direction to cancel flight and receive refund. I received an auto-reply stating they had received my request and they would respond within 5 days. I heard nothing. On March 19th, scheduled day of travel, I checked my flight on line to confirm they had cancelled it. They had not! So I immediately cancelled and have been trying to contact them ever since. I have spent countless hours on hold, including the call back option, but when they called I was just put back on hold. I understand the crisis, but this is unacceptable, particularly as I had purchased traveler's insurance. In the interim, I am out nearly $4k with no hope of resolution. I also tried to file a claim through Expedia's selected traveler's insurance "***" and filled out all forms and uploaded all necessary documentation. However, when I submitted, it said "error" despite my meticulous compliance with directions and I was unable to submit.

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.
Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. *** (Revdex.com case number ***) regarding a vacation package.
Our records show on March 3, 2020, Ms. or an authorized account user self-booked a package on Expedia’s website under itinerary ***. Travel was with *** Airlines and *** Airways, traveling from Newark, NJ departing to West Palm Beach, FL on April 5, 2020 and returning on April 10, 2020 . The package included a hotel with a stay at *** West Palm Beach, FL for a check in on April 5, 2020 and a check out on April 10, 2020, for a total of $701.35.On April 2, 2020, Ms. contacted Expedia to cancel the hotel reservation due to (COVID-19) concerns. We then cancelled the refundable hotel and processed a refund of $125.05, back to the original form of payment. The time it takes for the refund to post depends upon Ms.’s bank, however, it may take up to thirty days based on delays. On April 3, 2020, Ms. contacted Expedia to cancel the non-refundable flights due to (COVID-19) concerns. Regrettably, we informed Ms. that *** and *** Airways are not issuing refunds. The Airlines are permitting Future Travel Credits for Ms.’s flight reservations, based upon their non-refundable restrictions. The (COVID-19) flexibility policies publicly visible on both Airlines websites strictly states their penalty fees will be waived until, December 31, 2021. Additionally, *** and *** Airways are the merchants of record (the entities that received the funds and are the companies that charged Ms.’s credit card). Furthermore, Ms. accepted the cancellation/Future Travel Credits of $431.10, for *** and $145.20, for *** Airways. On April 25, 2020, Expedia verified both *** and *** Airways (COVID-19) flexibility policies still reflect Future Travel Credits/penalty waivers.See the exact cancellation policies, that were provided to Ms., prior to her agreeing to book the package reservation:
• *** cancellation and changes: Tickets are nonrefundable, and changes are not permitted, based on the basic economy restrictions. • *** cancellation and changes: Tickets are nonrefundable, and changes are not permitted, based on the basic economy restrictions. • Cancellations or changes made after 6:59 PM local hotel time, Saturday, April 4, 2020 are subject to a hotel fee equal to 1 night(s) plus taxes and fees. If you fail to check-in for this reservation, or if you cancel or change this reservation after check-in, you may incur penalty charges at the discretion of the hotel of up to 100% of the booking value.• Expedia combined two one-way tickets to get you the best deal on this flight. If you need to make changes or cancel, you'll need to do it twice-once for each one-way ticket.Note: Flight selections are subject to the airlines availability and a possible airfare cost difference.Because of the extraordinary circumstances of the (COVID-19) travel disruptions, we are receiving a high volume of requests for either a travel credit or a refund. Nonetheless, Expedia serves as a third-party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Expedia does not own or operate any airline and we have no control over when, or how often, airlines restrict a flight. We cannot provide a refund unless approved by the airline and must adhere to the airline’s policies.Moreover, Ms. agreed to Expedia’s Terms of Use, which expressly states:The carriers, hotels and other suppliers providing travel or other services on this Website are independent contractors and not agents or employees of the Expedia Companies or the Expedia Affiliates.

I had placed a reservation with Hotel *** in Chicago, IL on 3/9/2020 through my friends “rewards and perks” system through work. Due to Covid-19, I am unable to meet this reservation since I am pregnant and asthmatic, I am high risk and on quarantine in my home in Iowa. I have made attempts to contact the hotel for over 2 weeks now but finally contacted the hotel on March 20th via *** messenger since they were not answering phones. They let me know although they are extending their refund or change policy to reservations, since it was made thru 3rd party it went through Expedia and I need to contact Expedia to resolve this.
I understand now is an extremely busy time with very high volume of contacts being placed to the company. We’re all in this together! However I was supposed to check in YESTERDAY and still haven’t heard back from Expedia. I’ve contacted them every single day since March 20th. When I request a callback, I get a callback 2-4 hours later and am put on an immediate additional hour + long hold. I’m a mom to a toddler and cannot continue holding. I’ve contacted via phone every day, email twice and I’ve attempted chat at least 10 times but because I do not have an itinerary number I cannot get through to an agent. When I spoke with the hotel they told me their confirmation correspondence and confirmation number should be everything I need but clearly that’s not true.
I do have screenshots of not only my order correspondence but my messages with the hotel as well stating I would need to contact you with all of the reservation confirmation numbers and information so please let me know what’s needed to proceed. Thanks!

I have attempted to reach Expedia.com multiple times to request refund for travel package and I have been working with Expedia notices and went through their options. Their text support is limited and directed me to customer service. I am unable to find any email to reach Expedia after perusing their website, and I am unable to reach customer service as I kept getting disconnected with each call and waiting in queue for more than 30 minutes. Expedia gives notice of reaching out to customers whose travel plan is in the next 72 hours and I have not heard nor have been able to reach customer service. My flight destination must be cancelled as the destination site is now closed. As I had booked travel packages for a group, credit refunds would not work because of the uncertainty of COVID-19, group individuals require cash back, and it is not our fault that we are not able to travel.

I have been trying to reach Expedia via phone call and email for the last three weeks now. They promised to call me within 24-48 hours but I never got a call back. Our flight was canceled due to the Covid 19 for five people to Europe 4/4-413. The flight cost us over $6,000. They are forcing me to use a credit instead of giving us refund without even talking to me. I have lost my job and really need that money to pay important bills. I understand that this virus is not their fault but it’s not my fault either. I can’t do anything with a credit if we no longer can afford to go on vacation. We have also purchased travel insurance which they don’t seem to care about either. Thank you.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
I purchased a flight from Expedia.com to fly on *** from Los Angeles to Penang return on the 29th March (Ref ***). I called Expedia on the 4th March to get a credit note and later received an email confirming a credit note was possible. On the 6th March I made another call to Expedia and was waiting in the queue for 1.5 hours before I got through and the representative Vikas, said he wasn't too sure if a credit note was available (contradicting what I was told earlier). I then asked for a cancellation to which he said would cost $605 AUD. The flight itself cost $825 AUD and the itinerary says "Tickets are refundable with a penalty fee of USD200.00 for itinerary cancellations". So even at a an exchange rate of $0.50 AUD for $1 USD this would equate to $400 AUD. I disputed this amount and said it was excessive and asked him to email this in writing. He put me on hold for 10-12 minutes to draft a 3 sentence email.
I proceeded to call *** directly the same day and inquire about their credit note policy. I got through in 10-15 minutes and was advised they don't do credit notes.
After no follow up or contact from Expedia, I tried to call Expedia 3 times on the 10th March. I was on hold for 2 hours each on 2 calls to which the phone disconnected on it's own. There was no indication of wait times only that there was long delay and no option for them to call me back. I attempted to make another call but got disconnected after 15 minutes.
On 14th, I attempted to get a refund on the Expedia website but it was useless. Their is no facility to cancel online. My partner advised there was a form I could fill out, but so difficult to locate. I had to ask him to email me the link. The form was filled and sent back the same day. Automated response was it takes 5 days for a reply. On the 17th & 19th, my flight was rescheduled but no mention of a refund. Am email was received on 25th with link to cancel. I clicked & sent my details again to cancel.

applicable. We found that the agent got confused and shared the fees both ways

Dear ***,
Thank you for taking time to review my case. It is much appreciated considering the lack of response from Expedia.
I have no doubt that other customers are in a similar situation with Covid-19, however Expedia's response times have been inadequate to say the least. By comparison, I had booked another flight on *** and had requested a refund online. The refund came through immediately minus a small cancellation fee.
I certainly would not be recommending anyone use Expedia to make future bookings.
Having said that, I am willing to resolution they have proposed to my compliant.
On Feb 17, 2020, I purchased two round trip airline tickets through Expedia.com, itinerary # ***. Outbound flights were on *** Airlines, return flights on *** Airlines. In advance of travel sought cancellation, as travelers are over 65 years in age, are at high risk for COVID-19, and the state of CA recommended cancellation of unnecessary social contact. I have been able to file an online claim for *** flights. An online claim on the *** Airline flight confirmation number received a message to contact Expedia.com. Ten efforts to call and email Expedia.com about $ 473.40 charges to my credit card have gone unanswered. In fact, Expedia calls end up disconnected, and promised call backs are unfulfilled.

Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.
Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. *** (Revdex.com case number *** ) regarding multiple flight reservation.
Our records reflect on February 18, 2020, Ms. or an authorized account user self-booked a package on Expedia’s website under itinerary ***. Travel was with *** and *** Airlines, traveling from Los Angeles, CA to Charleston, SC departing on March 15, 2020 and returning on March 20, 2020. We understand that due to (COVID-19) Ms. is seeking a partial refund under the *** Airlines portion of her reservation.On April 24, 2020, Expedia reviewed *** Airlines Coronavirus flexibility policy on their website which indicates that Ms., was issued a Future Travel Credit. Regrettably, *** Airlines is not permitting a refund but a penalty fee waiver until, December 31, 2021. This is based upon their non-refundable restrictions. Additionally, *** Airlines is the merchant of record (the entity that received the funds and is the company that charged Ms.’s credit card) on the outbound fight.
Furthermore, Ms. may visit *** Airlines website to access the credit valued at $416.40, at the following address:
Because of the extraordinary circumstance of (COVID-19) travel disruptions, we are receiving a high volume of requests for either a travel credit or a refund. Nonetheless, Expedia serves as a third-party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Expedia does not own or operate any airline and we have no control over when, or how often, airlines restrict a flight. We cannot provide a refund unless approved by the airline and must adhere to the airline’s policies.On April 23, 2020, Expedia reviewed *** Airlines (COVID-19) flexibility policy on their website which states that Ms., was issued a Future Travel Credit. However, *** Airlines is not permitting a refund but rather a penalty fee waiver before, December 31, 2021. This is based upon their strict basic economy rules. In order to use the *** Airlines Future Travel Credit of, $473.40, Ms. may contact the following number, (877) ***, for assistance.
See the exact cancellation policies, that were provided to Ms., prior to her agreeing to book the reservation:

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.
Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Mr. ***, Revdex.com case number *** regarding a refund. We understand that Mr. is requesting a refund of $941.02. Our records indicate on March 1, 2020 – *** or an authorized user of the account self-booked a roundtrip flight on *** Airlines departing on March 24, 2020 from San Francisco, CA to London, England, with four night hotel stay at ***, along with the Vacation Waiver via ***.
We can confirm on March 15, 2020. the reservation was cancelled online.
After further review on April 24, 2020, Expedia has been able to verify in the airline system the itinerary was cancelled on March 15, 2020. Expedia contacted *** Airline, the ticket is non-refundable the cancellation is applicable to their COVID19 policy. Their COVID19 policy waives the change fee, customer can change their destination of a new ticket and the last date to use new ticket will be 31DEC2021. If there is an increase in cost in the fare difference the customer would be responsible. Expedia called the hotel and they asked that we email them a refund request. Expedia emailed the hotel as they requested and are waiting on their response.
Mr. will need to contact our Customer Service Department at 877-*** to complete the exchange.
Please note that Expedia serves as a third-party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines, and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. *** Airlines was the operating carriers and merchants of record (the entity that received the funds and the company that charged the credit card) on this itinerary.

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia.com regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Expedia, Inc. is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you.
Expedia.com is responding to the consumer complaint from *** (Revdex.com complaint #***) regarding a hotel reservation.
Upon researching the complaint the customer did not provide an itinerary number. While the email address is linked to an Expedia account, there is no record of an itinerary being made this year on Mr.’s account. We would suggest that the customer provide an itinerary number or email address used when the booking was completed.
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues that were brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact Expedia at 1-800-***. For immediate attention and to confirm the itinerary number you may contact Expedia by phone since our wait times are now much lower.
I have been sitting on hold with this company for 2 days and when I say 2 days I mean 2 straight days. I have requested call backs and the calls backs I have received 7 1/2 hours later (one callback was 2:38 this morning by the way) I am being told they can't help me and put me back in the waiting queue for an additional 7 1/2 hours. All I want to do is use my airline credit and book a new flight. I don't understand what's so hard about that? I don't understand how I have spoken to 3 people who all seem to be in "another department" when I am pressing the correct prompts when I call. I don't have another 24 hours to re-book a flight. They need to either have someone from the right department call me so I am able to book my flight or make an option available online to book using the airline credit. Maybe the call volume wouldn't be so high. This is so frustrating.

I searched for a hotel last night to be booked for the next day. The website brought up several options. One of the options listed was stated as "Member Price" no other readily available explanation for this is found on the site. I booked this at the advertised $41 dollars a night for member price. I am an Expedia member, my account lists me as a Blue member.
Apparently after talking w/ expedia customer support, that price is only applicable if you use your reward points. This is very misleading, not clearly stated. They state it will say this if I hover over the advertised price. Nothing shows up when I hover over the price explaining that what they mean by member price is that you have to use your reward points.

Our records show on March 25, 2020, Ms. self-booked a hotel reservation for one night. We understand from Ms. feedback she agreed to book a reservation at a lower price by using Expedia points. Ms. has provided feedback mentioning she did not see that points were being used. However, in her case Ms. did want to book at the lower price.
Expedia’s goal is to provide an exceptional customer experience. We appreciate the time Ms. took to provide Expedia.com with the comments regarding the issues he encountered. Before the booking Expedia provides an option to use or not use points that have been accumulated. We do regret any inconvenience Ms. encountered in resolving this matter.
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues that were brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.
We booked a flight from Philadelphia to Chicago for March 27, 2020. We contacted expedia within their 72 hour timeframe window to cancel out flight. We sat on hold for 4 hours ad were then disconnected. Even if we get through weapparently can only get a credit and not a refund which can only be used before December 31,2020 which doesnt solve any issue as this virus could still be a problem at that time. So
Basically the government is bailing out the airlines and travel agencies who are still keeping their ticket money since we wont be able to
Use them. Double dipping. Unacceptable.

Airlines has recently extended their policy to allow travel through December
31,2021. The customer must complete new travel by December 31,2021, change fees
will be waived and fare difference if any will be collected.
The U.S. Department of Transportation restated its
policy requiring airlines to provide travelers with a cash refund if their
flight has been cancelled or significantly delayed by the airline and the
airline hasn’t covered them with an alternate flight. At Expedia Group,
we follow the policies of our partners, so any credit, refund or change is at
the discretion of the travel provider. We understand that *** is
dissatisfied with receiving credit with an airline vs a full refund.
We’ve worked incredibly hard to work with our partners to provide travelers
with as much flexibility as possible during COVID-19. We recognize that
airline credit may not be what the customer was looking for, but know that
these are extraordinary circumstances that travel partners are trying to work
through and Expedia Group must follow the airline policies.
Seeing
how the flights were not effected by a schedule change, a refund will not be
possible.

On December 25th, 2019, A reservation was booked through expedia.com at *** Hotel *** for the amount of $185.28 for two nights starting December 28th, 2019. On December 28th, 2019, I checked in at *** Hotel ***, took my luggage to my room, and discovered that I had been catfished. The hotel room looked nothing like the image on expedia.com. The place was dull, dirty, and smelled like cigarette smoke. I immediately returned to the front desk and informed the clerk of my concerns, who then indicated that a full refund would be processed when the manager arrived. I also contacted expedia.com, who attempted to contact the manager to issue a refund and provided a coupon for my next stay.
Subsequently, I booked a room at ***, which I attached proof for ease of reference.

3 months later, I still have no refund - and both companies say they are responsible for the refund.

I bought a flight ticket from expedia, And it says that if I cancel it within 24 hours, there is no penalty for cancelation. But when I tried to cancel it, there is only a link to submit the cancel form, so I submitted the cancel form within 24 hours from my booking. After that, I tried many times to call their customer service and sent email to them to make sure if I cancel my ticket successfully, but no one answered me. After that, I finally get contact with one agent, they said that I was supposed to call them to cancel the ticket instead of submit the cancel form, and refused to give me full refund.

I booked a roundtrip package through Expedia from San Francisco to Rome connecting in Lisbon ***, leaving March 13, 2020 returning March 21, 2020 for 5 people via ***. Prior to our departure date, the airline cancelled the Lisbon-Rome and Rome-Lisbon leg of our flights. I was able to get a screenshot of the airline website to prove this. I also called *** and an agent confirmed the cancellation and advised I should call Expedia to get a refund.

I purchased flights for an international flight, scheduled to leave March 19, 2020. I ALSO purchased traveler's insurance, both through Expedia. On March 13th, I submitted an online form through Expedia per their direction to cancel flight and receive refund. I received an auto-reply stating they had received my request and they would respond within 5 days. I heard nothing. On March 19th, scheduled day of travel, I checked my flight on line to confirm they had cancelled it. They had not! So I immediately cancelled and have been trying to contact them ever since. I have spent countless hours on hold, including the call back option, but when they called I was just put back on hold. I understand the crisis, but this is unacceptable, particularly as I had purchased traveler's insurance. In the interim, I am out nearly $4k with no hope of resolution. I also tried to file a claim through Expedia's selected traveler's insurance "***" and filled out all forms and uploaded all necessary documentation. However, when I submitted, it said "error" despite my meticulous compliance with directions and I was unable to submit.

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.
Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. *** (Revdex.com case number ***) regarding a vacation package.
Our records show on March 3, 2020, Ms. or an authorized account user self-booked a package on Expedia’s website under itinerary ***. Travel was with *** Airlines and *** Airways, traveling from Newark, NJ departing to West Palm Beach, FL on April 5, 2020 and returning on April 10, 2020 . The package included a hotel with a stay at *** West Palm Beach, FL for a check in on April 5, 2020 and a check out on April 10, 2020, for a total of $701.35.On April 2, 2020, Ms. contacted Expedia to cancel the hotel reservation due to (COVID-19) concerns. We then cancelled the refundable hotel and processed a refund of $125.05, back to the original form of payment. The time it takes for the refund to post depends upon Ms.’s bank, however, it may take up to thirty days based on delays. On April 3, 2020, Ms. contacted Expedia to cancel the non-refundable flights due to (COVID-19) concerns. Regrettably, we informed Ms. that *** and *** Airways are not issuing refunds. The Airlines are permitting Future Travel Credits for Ms.’s flight reservations, based upon their non-refundable restrictions. The (COVID-19) flexibility policies publicly visible on both Airlines websites strictly states their penalty fees will be waived until, December 31, 2021. Additionally, *** and *** Airways are the merchants of record (the entities that received the funds and are the companies that charged Ms.’s credit card). Furthermore, Ms. accepted the cancellation/Future Travel Credits of $431.10, for *** and $145.20, for *** Airways. On April 25, 2020, Expedia verified both *** and *** Airways (COVID-19) flexibility policies still reflect Future Travel Credits/penalty waivers.See the exact cancellation policies, that were provided to Ms., prior to her agreeing to book the package reservation:
• *** cancellation and changes: Tickets are nonrefundable, and changes are not permitted, based on the basic economy restrictions. • *** cancellation and changes: Tickets are nonrefundable, and changes are not permitted, based on the basic economy restrictions. • Cancellations or changes made after 6:59 PM local hotel time, Saturday, April 4, 2020 are subject to a hotel fee equal to 1 night(s) plus taxes and fees. If you fail to check-in for this reservation, or if you cancel or change this reservation after check-in, you may incur penalty charges at the discretion of the hotel of up to 100% of the booking value.• Expedia combined two one-way tickets to get you the best deal on this flight. If you need to make changes or cancel, you'll need to do it twice-once for each one-way ticket.Note: Flight selections are subject to the airlines availability and a possible airfare cost difference.Because of the extraordinary circumstances of the (COVID-19) travel disruptions, we are receiving a high volume of requests for either a travel credit or a refund. Nonetheless, Expedia serves as a third-party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Expedia does not own or operate any airline and we have no control over when, or how often, airlines restrict a flight. We cannot provide a refund unless approved by the airline and must adhere to the airline’s policies.Moreover, Ms. agreed to Expedia’s Terms of Use, which expressly states:The carriers, hotels and other suppliers providing travel or other services on this Website are independent contractors and not agents or employees of the Expedia Companies or the Expedia Affiliates.

I had placed a reservation with Hotel *** in Chicago, IL on 3/9/2020 through my friends “rewards and perks” system through work. Due to Covid-19, I am unable to meet this reservation since I am pregnant and asthmatic, I am high risk and on quarantine in my home in Iowa. I have made attempts to contact the hotel for over 2 weeks now but finally contacted the hotel on March 20th via *** messenger since they were not answering phones. They let me know although they are extending their refund or change policy to reservations, since it was made thru 3rd party it went through Expedia and I need to contact Expedia to resolve this.
I understand now is an extremely busy time with very high volume of contacts being placed to the company. We’re all in this together! However I was supposed to check in YESTERDAY and still haven’t heard back from Expedia. I’ve contacted them every single day since March 20th. When I request a callback, I get a callback 2-4 hours later and am put on an immediate additional hour + long hold. I’m a mom to a toddler and cannot continue holding. I’ve contacted via phone every day, email twice and I’ve attempted chat at least 10 times but because I do not have an itinerary number I cannot get through to an agent. When I spoke with the hotel they told me their confirmation correspondence and confirmation number should be everything I need but clearly that’s not true.
I do have screenshots of not only my order correspondence but my messages with the hotel as well stating I would need to contact you with all of the reservation confirmation numbers and information so please let me know what’s needed to proceed. Thanks!

I have attempted to reach Expedia.com multiple times to request refund for travel package and I have been working with Expedia notices and went through their options. Their text support is limited and directed me to customer service. I am unable to find any email to reach Expedia after perusing their website, and I am unable to reach customer service as I kept getting disconnected with each call and waiting in queue for more than 30 minutes. Expedia gives notice of reaching out to customers whose travel plan is in the next 72 hours and I have not heard nor have been able to reach customer service. My flight destination must be cancelled as the destination site is now closed. As I had booked travel packages for a group, credit refunds would not work because of the uncertainty of COVID-19, group individuals require cash back, and it is not our fault that we are not able to travel.

I have been trying to reach Expedia via phone call and email for the last three weeks now. They promised to call me within 24-48 hours but I never got a call back. Our flight was canceled due to the Covid 19 for five people to Europe 4/4-413. The flight cost us over $6,000. They are forcing me to use a credit instead of giving us refund without even talking to me. I have lost my job and really need that money to pay important bills. I understand that this virus is not their fault but it’s not my fault either. I can’t do anything with a credit if we no longer can afford to go on vacation. We have also purchased travel insurance which they don’t seem to care about either. Thank you.

I purchased a flight from Expedia.com to fly on *** from Los Angeles to Penang return on the 29th March (Ref ***). I called Expedia on the 4th March to get a credit note and later received an email confirming a credit note was possible. On the 6th March I made another call to Expedia and was waiting in the queue for 1.5 hours before I got through and the representative Vikas, said he wasn't too sure if a credit note was available (contradicting what I was told earlier). I then asked for a cancellation to which he said would cost $605 AUD. The flight itself cost $825 AUD and the itinerary says "Tickets are refundable with a penalty fee of USD200.00 for itinerary cancellations". So even at a an exchange rate of $0.50 AUD for $1 USD this would equate to $400 AUD. I disputed this amount and said it was excessive and asked him to email this in writing. He put me on hold for 10-12 minutes to draft a 3 sentence email.
I proceeded to call *** directly the same day and inquire about their credit note policy. I got through in 10-15 minutes and was advised they don't do credit notes.
After no follow up or contact from Expedia, I tried to call Expedia 3 times on the 10th March. I was on hold for 2 hours each on 2 calls to which the phone disconnected on it's own. There was no indication of wait times only that there was long delay and no option for them to call me back. I attempted to make another call but got disconnected after 15 minutes.
On 14th, I attempted to get a refund on the Expedia website but it was useless. Their is no facility to cancel online. My partner advised there was a form I could fill out, but so difficult to locate. I had to ask him to email me the link. The form was filled and sent back the same day. Automated response was it takes 5 days for a reply. On the 17th & 19th, my flight was rescheduled but no mention of a refund. Am email was received on 25th with link to cancel. I clicked & sent my details again to cancel.

Dear ***,
Thank you for taking time to review my case. It is much appreciated considering the lack of response from Expedia.
I have no doubt that other customers are in a similar situation with Covid-19, however Expedia's response times have been inadequate to say the least. By comparison, I had booked another flight on *** and had requested a refund online. The refund came through immediately minus a small cancellation fee.
I certainly would not be recommending anyone use Expedia to make future bookings.
Having said that, I am willing to resolution they have proposed to my compliant.

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com (“Revdex.com”) allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.
Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Mr. ***, Revdex.com case number *** regarding a refund. We understand that Mr. is requesting a refund of $941.02. Our records indicate on March 1, 2020 – *** or an authorized user of the account self-booked a roundtrip flight on *** Airlines departing on March 24, 2020 from San Francisco, CA to London, England, with four night hotel stay at ***, along with the Vacation Waiver via ***.
We can confirm on March 15, 2020. the reservation was cancelled online.
After further review on April 24, 2020, Expedia has been able to verify in the airline system the itinerary was cancelled on March 15, 2020. Expedia contacted *** Airline, the ticket is non-refundable the cancellation is applicable to their COVID19 policy. Their COVID19 policy waives the change fee, customer can change their destination of a new ticket and the last date to use new ticket will be 31DEC2021. If there is an increase in cost in the fare difference the customer would be responsible. Expedia called the hotel and they asked that we email them a refund request. Expedia emailed the hotel as they requested and are waiting on their response.
Mr. will need to contact our Customer Service Department at 877-*** to complete the exchange.
Please note that Expedia serves as a third-party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines, and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. *** Airlines was the operating carriers and merchants of record (the entity that received the funds and the company that charged the credit card) on this itinerary.

We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Expedia, Inc. is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you.
Expedia.com is responding to the consumer complaint from *** (Revdex.com complaint #***) regarding a hotel reservation.
Upon researching the complaint the customer did not provide an itinerary number. While the email address is linked to an Expedia account, there is no record of an itinerary being made this year on Mr.’s account. We would suggest that the customer provide an itinerary number or email address used when the booking was completed.
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues that were brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact Expedia at 1-800-***. For immediate attention and to confirm the itinerary number you may contact Expedia by phone since our wait times are now much lower.

I have been sitting on hold with this company for 2 days and when I say 2 days I mean 2 straight days. I have requested call backs and the calls backs I have received 7 1/2 hours later (one callback was 2:38 this morning by the way) I am being told they can't help me and put me back in the waiting queue for an additional 7 1/2 hours. All I want to do is use my airline credit and book a new flight. I don't understand what's so hard about that? I don't understand how I have spoken to 3 people who all seem to be in "another department" when I am pressing the correct prompts when I call. I don't have another 24 hours to re-book a flight. They need to either have someone from the right department call me so I am able to book my flight or make an option available online to book using the airline credit. Maybe the call volume wouldn't be so high. This is so frustrating.

After reviewing Mr.’s case we contacted the hotel manager at ***. The manager mentioned since the check in date is July 7, 2020, they would not currently authorize a refund.

I searched for a hotel last night to be booked for the next day. The website brought up several options. One of the options listed was stated as "Member Price" no other readily available explanation for this is found on the site. I booked this at the advertised $41 dollars a night for member price. I am an Expedia member, my account lists me as a Blue member.
Apparently after talking w/ expedia customer support, that price is only applicable if you use your reward points. This is very misleading, not clearly stated. They state it will say this if I hover over the advertised price. Nothing shows up when I hover over the price explaining that what they mean by member price is that you have to use your reward points.

We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Expedia is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you.
Expedia is responding to the consumer comment from *** (Revdex.com complaint # ***) regarding feedback about our website.
Our records show on March 25, 2020, Ms. self-booked a hotel reservation for one night. We understand from Ms. feedback she agreed to book a reservation at a lower price by using Expedia points. Ms. has provided feedback mentioning she did not see that points were being used. However, in her case Ms. did want to book at the lower price.
Expedia’s goal is to provide an exceptional customer experience. We appreciate the time Ms. took to provide Expedia.com with the comments regarding the issues he encountered. Before the booking Expedia provides an option to use or not use points that have been accumulated. We do regret any inconvenience Ms. encountered in resolving this matter.

We booked a flight from Philadelphia to Chicago for March 27, 2020. We contacted expedia within their 72 hour timeframe window to cancel out flight. We sat on hold for 4 hours ad were then disconnected. Even if we get through weapparently can only get a credit and not a refund which can only be used before December 31,2020 which doesnt solve any issue as this virus could still be a problem at that time. So
Basically the government is bailing out the airlines and travel agencies who are still keeping their ticket money since we wont be able to
Use them. Double dipping. Unacceptable.
Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an

Airlines has recently extended their policy to allow travel through December
31,2021. The customer must complete new travel by December 31,2021, change fees
will be waived and fare difference if any will be collected.
The U.S. Department of Transportation restated its
policy requiring airlines to provide travelers with a cash refund if their
flight has been cancelled or significantly delayed by the airline and the
airline hasn’t covered them with an alternate flight. At Expedia Group,
we follow the policies of our partners, so any credit, refund or change is at
the discretion of the travel provider. We understand that *** is
dissatisfied with receiving credit with an airline vs a full refund.
We’ve worked incredibly hard to work with our partners to provide travelers
with as much flexibility as possible during COVID-19. We recognize that
airline credit may not be what the customer was looking for, but know that
these are extraordinary circumstances that travel partners are trying to work
through and Expedia Group must follow the airline policies.
Seeing
how the flights were not effected by a schedule change, a refund will not be
possible.

On December 25th, 2019, A reservation was booked through expedia.com at *** Hotel *** for the amount of $185.28 for two nights starting December 28th, 2019. On December 28th, 2019, I checked in at *** Hotel ***, took my luggage to my room, and discovered that I had been catfished. The hotel room looked nothing like the image on expedia.com. The place was dull, dirty, and smelled like cigarette smoke. I immediately returned to the front desk and informed the clerk of my concerns, who then indicated that a full refund would be processed when the manager arrived. I also contacted expedia.com, who attempted to contact the manager to issue a refund and provided a coupon for my next stay.
Subsequently, I booked a room at ***, which I attached proof for ease of reference.

multiple occasions, and each time was advised to send a refund request via

from the hotel. On
