Terrible company
1. Expedia inflated event ticket prices. Prior to booking my vacation package, expenses looked reasonable. My total bill added up to an enormous price after taxes and service fees. The event vendor site was selling the same tickets for the same event $15 less per ticket--without the service fees.
2. Expedia gave me tickets(vouchers which have to be redeemed 2 hours before showtime--what am I paying them for?)for the 10:30 show when I asked for the 7:30 show. After booking, I asked them to correct this and they said that they do not have tickets for the showtime I requested, although the vendor had tickets for all available showtimes.
3. Changes will not be made. When I asked them to give me tickets for my requested show time, Expedia only quoted "no changes/no cancellations" policy.
4. Expedia will not give me an itemized expense receipt for the vacation package. They will only tell me the air fare expense. The hotel and event expenses are lumped together.

overcharge
I received a e-mail from Expedia saying I owed $35. and to pay up or have my trip cancelled. It turns out that they have the amount I paid to them completely wrong and they have double billed me. My trip was supposed to cost 1020.46 and I have actually paid 1197.96. I sent them copies of my credit card statements and have called and talked to several people and each gives me different amounts they supposedly have on record for my payment. Concerning the $35 the supervisor called and said they indeed find that they made a mistake on that e-mail but I have not been given anything in writing.
Also they have not responded on my discovered over payment and tell me things like the cost of the trip has gone up since I booked. This is crazy. They quoted and I payed before deadlines. I have never experienced such a run around and to say the least conflicting information from various people I have talked to.
After this hassle, I asked how much i would be credited to cancel; they said $519 and I asked for an e-mail to confirm that and they refused.
Again this should be one half of 1197.96 the amount I can prove I paid.
What can be done - who handles these disputes?

Refund Policy
I changed in my Hotel reservation over a week before traveling to Kinsale, Ireland -- to delay my arrival from 29Sep to 02Oct08 -- as required by your cancellation policy. The confirmation #123467 was not reflected in the travel itinerary sent to my email 6 days before my new departure. I immediately responded by email on 25Sep that the itinerary information was wrong and that I had to postpone my arrive until 02Oct08.
All other attempts to obtain clear contractual information have not provided any indication that would alter your existing refund policy following 72 hours notice. Instead, the only information I received was after it was too late to change. Such as no breakfast would be included because of expedia prepayment and, when my normal reservation ended on 09Oct08, that I had to call expedia to confirm my stay had ended because expedia had extended my dates rather than provide the add-on rate normally used by the hotel. These latent revelations became impossible to resolve because the 800-expedia number was not functional from Ireland. Hotel assurances that my abbreviated hotel stay could be confirmed by a later call to expedia have been dishonored.

Unauthorized billing
I booked a trip to Arizona thru Expedia. I later found out that the hotel I reserved was a long way from where I was going. I called Expedia to change hotel locations. The CSR from West Virginia quoted me $124. TOTAL to change from one hotel to another. I told him to check with his manager, because it needed to be the TOTAL amount, not the DAILY amount. He put me on hold, came back laughing, & said he checked w/his Manager and it was $124 TOTAL. for the 7 night stay. I changed hotels.
Later that day I checked my bank account, and he took out $800 from my account. I called back right away and got that same West Virginia office. I told them what happened, repeated my conversation & told him to check with the Manager, since the other CSR did too. He said there was a note in the system that said I KNEW there was an $800. additional charge, & that I agreed to it! I told him they quoted me $124 for the ENTIRE change, and he told me it was my word against theirs. I asked to speak to the Manager, and I could hear all 3 people talking to each other in the background. She told me the same thing, saying that I could NEVER prove what they did, & I would NEVER get my money back!
You know--THEY WERE RIGHT! I have sent hundreds of emails, & made hundreds of calls, and NO ONE CARES! They are ripping people off left & right, with no one to answer to! I am so pissed! That West Virginia Office is up to NO GOOD! I keep telling the CSR's that I speak to about what happened, & all they do is send me a "form letter apology" saying they strive to maintain excellent customer service, and then go into a sales pitch trying to get me to go on vacation again---and USE THEM! They are all NUTS! They have no corporate office that will take your calls, and no line staff will forward your emails to management!
Be Careful! I never did get my $800 back, and I had to borrow rent money because they stole that $800 from my account!

Worst service
I have been a member of expedia for several years now and I have just received the absolute worst service with them, that in my mind, is almost unexplainable.
On Friday, Oct 3rd, I called one of their numerous call centers to cancel a reservation. I was informed that I could not receive a refund because my ticket was non-refundable. When I purchased my ticket with Expedia it never stated the ticket was non-refundable while I was purchasing it, I even read the rules and regulations. The only time it said the ticket was non refundable was after my purchase. After I argued this point with one of their operators, he decided to hang up on me. I then called back and spoke to a delightfully young lady who understood my point after she walked through the website with me. She transfered me to her supervisor who left me on hold for twenty minutes, then answered, then put me on hold again, and then answered only to hang up on me. I am now about an hour into trying to get my flight canceled and having ZERO luck talking to anyone with a clue. I call a THIRD time, again I go through the same long diatribe about the website and it's lack of detail, after which I get transfered to another supervisor 20 minutes into the call. I am now speaking with Supervisor Malory Legespi, or at least that's what she said her name was. Malory was by far the rudest of the bunch I dealt with over the coarse of the hour and half I spent on the phone. I asked to speak with Malory's boss and she flat out said NO and hung up on me. That's right, I called three different times, talked to three separate call centers and got hung up on three times. Total time on the phone was over an hour and a half and I never got the ticket canceled.
I waited two days and finally got someone to cancel my ticket. I would like to know a stateside number I can call and make a complaint. I am tired of dealing with overseas call centers. I will more than likely never Expedia again and will make sure that everyone I know and come in contact with hears about your terrible service.

Rip off
Purchased tickets in May. In late June Airline canceled flights. Expedia was unable to find me a comparable/compatible replacement and offered me a "full refund" (minus their processing charge). However the "refund" was promised within 1 to 2 MONTHS. Ok, so I'm supposed to carry the charges for up to 2 months and still have to buy new tickets elsewhere? Irritating, and costing me more money, but whatever.
3 months later I realize they have never refunded my money. I call and they tell me that "hmm, that is strange, it was requested, let me put in another request."
I call the credit card company and they have never received a request for refund. I call Expedia a week later to check on the status and the woman tells me that the initial request was never passed on to the correct people. So they essentially lost it.
And now they tell me it will again be "1 to 2 months" before the refund is processed. She explained that it really only takes 7 to 10 days (still a ridiculously long period of time) but that the 1 to 2 months is when it will appear on my statement. Requested expedited service since they have essentially stolen my money, but that seemed to go in one ear and out the other. Its now been about 15 days and my card has not been refunded.
Isn't is simply amazing that they can take my money in a matter of nanoseconds, but it takes them 6 months to return it? Really excellent customer service. I'm not holding my breath this time either.

dishonest booking practices
I booked a room on Expedia.com. When I arrived to check into the hotel, I discovered that they had booked us in a different hotel location, even though my printed confirmation from Expedia clearly stated the location I requested. The hotel provided me with the reservation they received from Expedia, which is incorrect. I have called Expedia many, many times and spent hours on the phone. They frequently disconnect customers and put me on hold for long periods of time. I was promised a refund I never received, and when I call back I am told something different each time, always amounting to the fact that I must call back at a later time or date. I strongly recommend that you rethink booking any travel on Expedia.com. I will never do so again.

Dishonest robbery ,ruined last day honeymoon
We booked a trip through Expedia to Disneyland to get married and a few days honeymoon afterwards. We had paid for transportation and day passes to Universal Studios to use on our last day(value $200). We called the number for the shuttle service to Universal and confirmed 24 hours prior. On our last day we went early to the front of the hotel to wait for the shuttle at 8:15 am(pick up 8:30). A Coash USA shuttle as on our itinerary was parked and we met the driver, showed him our itinerary and he told us we "werent on the list" we then showed him our confirmation number and insisted that we were on the list and he refused! We went into the hotel front desk to call Coach USA, and the driver took off! Our front desk agent called them and we were confirmed, however they said everyone was picked up except us, AND this just happened to 5 more people ! Coach denies that we were there, yet our front desk agent witnessed the whole thing! We were not going to pay $95 each way to get to Universal for a service we allready paid for! We were on the phone arguing and re-explaining our situation to Expedia for a good 3 hours! Our day was ruined, and they offered no apology, told us we could not get a refund, were not willing to change our passes to a 1 day Disney for compensation, it was our fault, even though we had a witness for their vendor leaving us high and dry!!! We used our credit card to get into Disney that day-and dont understand why expedia offered us ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!Now they have spoken to our front desk agent as a witness as to what happened to us and its been 4 days that they say they have been doing an "investigation". I say screw the investigation as we have provided everything they need and give us our money back!! If not by Monday, I think I will have to take legal action! NEVER USING EXPEDIA AGAIN!!

Scammed
Booked flight to Detroit. Changed to flight in Chicago. Went to Chicago. Ask for invoice from expedia listing all charges. Received invoice for trip to Chicago. Filed expense report with company. Discovered later that 197 dollars for trip to Detroit were not listed. Have no invoice to submit for expenses for 197 dollars charged for trip never taken to Detroit. Called. Asked to speak to supervisor. Waited for 30 minutes and hung up.
Your sorry no good for nothing piece of *** sight should reward succinctness in explanations.

LIARS
Well what can I say I'm a cheap bastard...I saw low price guaranteed on Expedia and went to see if its true...I was going on vacation so i wanted the bang for my buck...So I spent 30 mins searching through several websites ...most were exactly the same price as expedia.. until I found a European Site that has a HUGE difference in price... I proceeded to book my hotel with Expedia online... I called cutomer service 5 mins later to complain i found a better price... The CSR kept saying it must be a mirror image description of the hotel. the asshole read word for word describing the room... describing the continental breakfast...describing the decor...The euro website gave me a total of $88. The expedia site gave me a total of $140.00... the csr was shocked to see such a huge price difference... and I was put on hold... as I've read in other blogs.. I guess its the death Hold...He came back and said oh no its not the same... our site says free wireless and your site doesn't mention free wireless. It's a totally different room. Sorry I can't refund you the difference...but i can give you $50 voucher.. I said Hell no maann GIVE ME My money he put me on hold ..he came back and said I can Give you $100 VOucher... SO i said Fine... I was gonna book more rooms at a differnt city for the following day so pretty much I got it for free. =0) Screw it I didn't get the $50 difference back but I made a free $50...JUST BE AWARE THE MONEY BACK IS A SCAMMMM ALL THEY DO IS TRY TO STIFF YOU WITH A $50 VOUCHER SAY NO I WANT MORE!!!...BEING CHEAP IS KING!!! by the way that Euro website is www.roomex.com I was afraid of putting my cc into the site... but you can at least us it to compare prices differenes with Expedia...to get your vouchers...
