Customer Service & reward points
Expedia.com does not honor travel points that they award you. After multiple phone calls nothing was resolved. NOW I find on my account the points that were there are gone PLUS the flight that awarded these points has been removed from
our itinerary. No help getting that resolved.. I'm wrong, , they are right... nothing there... Latest trip we wanted to book was $300 higher then a competitor.. their price guarantee wants you to pay the higher amount, , prove to them a lower price was available, , THEN, Expedia will reimburse the difference... Fat chance... I'm betting it will be a run around again.. Very disappointed with this site..

Told me that my room was booked for 2, when really 1
Have been a long time customer with Expedia for many years now and have used there service with no issues up until my latest trip. A group of friends and I were planning a pretty big trip to Mexico. Since we had such a large group (10+ People) we decided to call Expedia directly on the phone to book our flight/resort since we were leaving the country and wanted to make sure everything is okay.

When you book the Resort for two people, you get it at a discounted rate so it's less per dollar for each person. Everyone in our group was flying out from the same state, but with my case I was flying out from CO, my friend from NV. While on the phone with the Expedia Representative, I explained to her my situation and she said everything will be the same, just different cost since airfare for my buddy is different. Gave her my CC# and payment information and all seemed well.

Two days later I received my itinerary in an email and noticed that I was on it alone, and my friend from out of state was on a separate itinerary but had no resort information on his at all. This concerned me so I called Expedia once again to double check that everything was okay. Once again the lady told me that my Resort was booked for two people and that when I get to Mexico there will be no issues. I trusted her and thought nothing of it.

Fast Forward to my day of the trip, my roomie lands in Mexico the same time as all of us and we take a shuttle to our resort. All my other friends check in just fine, and when it's my turn the people at the front desk say that my room is only booked for one person, and that they will not give my friend a bracelet. I argue with them for about 15 minutes to no avail because they barely speak English at the resort. I decide to call Expedia AGAIN and get a customer service lady who also barely speaks English. Keep in mind that I am already in Mexico and this is a international call on a cell phone because the resort refused to allow me to use their phones.

Expedia constantly puts me on hold for over 1.5 hours until I'm able to speak with a manager, and I explained to them the situation for the 5th time and all Expedia says to me is there is nothing they can do about it. I am forced to pay an extra $400 for my friend to stay in my room for the vacation and was never reimbursed by Expedia. I told them they are required to record ALL conversations that I had with them and for them to pull up the records to prove to them that I was told everything was okay. They refused to do this and I was stuck with a giant phone bill, -$400 to spend on my trip, and an overall HORRIBLE customer service experience. If the resort were to charge me $1, 000 to have my friend stay, I would of had no option to pay it as well. We're already stuck out in Mexico with no place to stay unless we pay AGAIN.

I had the resort print me out a receipt so when I got back to the States I could try to file a complaint and get reimbursed, but after dealing with Expedia customer service for another 3 hours I gave up hope. Expedia lost mine and all my friends business that day and I will NEVER use them again.

DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKES. BEWARE OF EXPEDIA IF FLYING INTERNATIONAL. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS TELL YOU UNTIL YOU GET AN ITINERARY THAT HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON IT.

not honouring guarantee of best price
Booked two hotel rooms in Hong Kong for three nights. Expedia state that if you find it cheaper in the next 12 hours, they will refund the difference and give 15%discount on top. An hour after booking, whilst looking at the hotel website, find another company selling rooms approx. $200 less for the 2 identical rooms. Called Expedia who refused to acknowledge and refund credit card. Tried emailing customer services with proof, who three days later said that the rooms were now not available and refused point blank to refund. Beware on using Expedia.
Next time I will use Expedia for the research and book with another company. When I book my corporate events, will let them do the legwork and book with others.

No Customer care
I booked tickets for my travel to Bangkok from expedia. I tried calling them many times to their tool free number but no one picks the call and there is no other number apart from that.
How can a travel agency can be so bad that they dont even pick the call of customer. I am really pissed off after booking the ticket with expedia and I am really in a bad shape whom to call for ticket cancellation or postpone also on the site they haven't mentioned anything about these. If anyone knows their customer care number apart from tool free (1800 102 1919) . Please share with me .

Doesn't come through
I have been a customer of Expedia for several years. I received emails telling me I had coupons worth $50 off motel reservations of 2 or more nights made through Expedia if the reservations were made on or before Jan 31.

I was planning to make a trip anyway; I was just waiting for the date of the trip to be confirmed. When I had the date, I booked the room through Expedia to use the coupon. The instructions told me to find and check a box during the checkout procedure. I tried to find the box to apply the coupon during the checkout - but though I scrolled up and down looking, there wasn't any box. I canceled the process and started again, making sure I was logged onto my account. There was still no check box.

I went ahead and made the reservation so I could get it done before the deadline passed . I then contacted Expedia about the problem. I was told that, because I had already made the reservation, there was nothing they could do.

Let the buyer beware - Expedia can and will rip you off.

Booked Business Class got Economy Class
I booked on business class, got economy class. I was about to pay then there was a message: "Price Change: The total price for your trip has changed from $1, 636.00 to $736.00. Why did this happen? Your card has not been charged and your booking was not completed. To complete this booking, please re-enter your Card." Feeling lucky, I rechecked if the flights were still the same, with the same class, and they were! So I thought I struck a real luck and proceeded. I got email minutes later saying that I was booked on economy class!

I called the 1-800 number, got to talk to Manila-based Reservation Call Center, talked to Blair on reservation and then on hold for 20 min to try to reach a CSR who is authorized to cancel flights. Got disconnected and then talked to Randall, another reservation guy who tried to find me another flight on business but failed. He tried to connect me to CSR for canceling the trip, and I was on hold for 30 minutes, only to get hung up again. Trying again and again until 8 hours later, no CSR ever picked up the phone.

I am quite disappointed. I was calling from Manila, Philippines, to the US, and waited for this long for nothing. I did not want to just click 'cancel this itinerary' on expedia.com website because of the penalty it incurs. I sent emails to them, no replies. Also it was not my fault, if there is a glitz in the web, at least what they can do is to email me back or call me. The calls the pick up apparently are for reservations only.

Bait and Switch Pricing
Here's a copy of what I have sent to Expedia via email and registered letter, and have repeated for them on the phone 5 different times.

Attached are the screen shots (which I fortunately took when demonstrating to the customer service rep how it appeared to me when booking), which clearly show the flights as business class. At no time did Expedia's website display that these were economy seats.

=================================
This is to follow up in writing my instructions to your service reps on your toll free line on January 31st at approximately 10h00 MST. Actually, I spoke to 3 different agents as your phone system repeatedly dropped the calls after I was holding for over 45 minutes.

The flight as it is being displayed is NOT what I purchased. The itinerary at time of the booking was clearly displayed as business class. I have attempted to have this matter dealt with since last Tuesday but your organization has been unable to provide any reasonable feedback or indication of resolution.

I wish to cancel this reservation immediately and I expect to be fully refunded all charges. The flight you have provided is not what was sold to me.

I have asked the customer service rep to add this comment to my account -- the last one I spoke to has said he will call me back with the resolution.

Below is a copy of the communication history and feedback I have provided to you previously.

There is/was clearly a problem with YOUR system. I did not appreciate that the initial response from the escalation department that I had not clicked the correct choices during the search and booking process.

I have the email which was sent by Expedia for the itinerary which clearly shows the flights as business class for the price. The final booking shows it as economy. At no time during the booking or payment process did it show as economy.

I also have screen shots (which I have provided to you, in addition to the itinerary email) showing the exact same routing, dates, and airlines and it is shown as Business class. Returning to this saved itinerary the next day - the class was now shown as economy. I was able on the prior day to have your rep (Sarah) see the same thing on her end.

Today Sarah was not available (despite giving the impression she would be and that I didn't need more than her first name as she was the only Sarah at the escalation dept - upon calling today I was asked which Sarah as there were two, and then the Sarah I had been dealing with was not available) and I dealt with Aya. Both women were pleasant and helpful but there appears no path for them to take to resolve the issue..

Aya was able to receive my email documentation but now it has been left (again) with the escalation dept.

Time is of the essence to resolve this issue as some of our routes have limited availability and while this issues remains outstanding we are constrained financially from making a separate booking.

All three reps that I have had in depth dealings with on this matter have been professional and willing to help. Unfortunately it appears that your policies or lack of staffing doesn't allow them to directly deal with an issue like mine.

I would like to reiterate that there appears to be a problem with your system in this case. I would never have booked economy for almost $9000 when there is an equivalent at $5800. The system showed business class for the $9000 which, while not cheap, was a very good price. I trusted that Expedia was showing me a bona fide deal - however I now find myself in a situation where I am not receiving the services/goods which were offered to me.

I look forward to having Expedia restore my trust in their business.

The worst custmer service ever
This was the worst experience I ever had. What was offered to me was not what I got. I called the Marriott hotel on 12/31/2010 to confirm my reservation of a deluxe room with stay in breakfast, they had a room reserved for us but it was a standard room and they did not know anything about a stay in breakfast. They told me I needed to call expedia. Between me and my wife we called expedia 10 to 15times each. I was on one phone she was on her phone to see who could reach someone. Either no one would answer and the phone would just ring and ring or if someone did answer, they would put us on hold. I even gave them my number to call me back if I got disconnected several times. My wife did the same as well. No one ever called us. I did get to speak to a supervisor to said he would call me back. I am still waiting for him to call me.

When we got to the hotel, I requested a refrigerator, we were given a standard room and no refrigerator. I had to call several times until I got the refrigerator. I also kept insisting on the breakfast and so they gave it to us.

I have never had an experience like this with Hotwire or Hotel.com. I understand it was New years eve, but no one at any point ever called to ask if the issued had been resolved. As far as I am concern, I would rate the customer service as very poor and I will never use them again. I have sent them countless email and to this day, no one has answered. Don't bother calling them to complain, once they have your money, they don't answer the phone unless you are making reservations, then they answer right away.

Runaround
My flights were cancelled by American and Turkish Airlines due to weather. After three calls to Expedia and two to the airlines - no refund. Expedia has said they will contact the airline to request a refund three times but in the six weeks since the original flights still no progress. I spoke to three different customer service reps and two supervisors. I have gotten two different trouble ticket tracking numbers and nobody seems to be able to find any information about any previous calls. And to top it all off the last supervisor I spoke to was barely understandable - I had to keep asking her to repeat herself to be understood. Have a nice day.

Scam
On 12/27 I reserved a round trip ticket from North Dakota to Louisiana. Within minutes I received a confirmation email. The next day I received another email asking me to contact Expedia as soon as possible. When I contacted them, a woman with a heavy Indian accent came on the phone and from what I could understand, told me that they could not confirm my original flight but for an additional $200 they could confirm it at that time. Since I was having so much trouble understanding her, I asked to speak to her supervisor. The supervisor that got on the phone spoke English a little better. She tried her best to explain to me why they could now make the reservation for an additional $200 but it still made no sense. Frustrated, I canceled the flight. I sent an email to Expedia explaining my dissatisfaction but never got a response. Customer service or satisfaction does not seem to be high on their list. I fly round trip every three weeks and will not use Expedia again. In my experience, Travelocity does a much better job.
