Expedia is famous for its many travel services, from flights to hotels to car hire to, holiday packages and more. But, to really take full advantage of your bookings, you’ve got to take advantage of the platform’s offers, discounts, and rewards programs. From first-time users to frequent travelers, these insider tips will help you to unlock substantial savings and added perks on Expedia.
Expedia Rewards is a free loyalty program that lets you earn points on every booking, whether it’s a flight, hotel, or vacation package. These can be redeemed for discounts on future reservations or for free stays altogether. If you’re a frequent traveler, you can climb the reward tiers: Silver and Gold status both unlock benefits such as complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, and VIP Access perks at select hotels. Use Expedia Rewards points in conjunction with coupon codes and cashback programs.
Use the Expedia Mobile App for Exclusive Discounts
For travelers who want to save more, Expedia’s mobile app is a game changer. The app often offers exclusive deals that you won’t find on the desktop site, including up to 30 percent off select hotels. It also offers a $25 discount on hotel bookings over $100 to first time users of the app. App notifications can also alert you to flash sales or last minute deals, so you can grab amazing deals on the go.
Take Advantage of Coupons and Promo Codes
Even if you don’t find a coupon code, Expedia often runs promotions where you just need to enter a promo code to save money on flights, hotels, or vacation packages. These codes can get you up to 50% off or free breakfast or parking. To search for active coupons, you can head to Expedia’s promotional pages or to other third party deal sites like RetailMeNot or Honey. Add these codes to your Expedia Rewards points for even more savings.
Book Vacation Packages to Save More
Bundle & Save is one of Expedia’s standout features, since it helps users bundle flights, hotels, and car rentals together in one package. You can save up to 15% by bundling these services together than booking them separately. For instance, designated gender hotel rooms are offered up on the website while other packages also include perks like free airport transfers or reduced fare in the activities you can enjoy when in your destination.
Be Flexible with Travel Dates
When you are looking for the best deals on Expedia, the flexibility is key. Use the platform’s flexible date search tool to see airfare and hotel prices over a variety of dates. On a calendar view, this feature shows you the cheapest options in green, so you can change your travel plans to save money. The other ways of getting big discounts are traveling during off peak seasons or mid week (eg booking flights on Tuesdays).
Member only deals and flash sales
Registered users of Expedia also enjoy additional 10% discount on select listings through ‘Member Prices’. The platform is also full of flash sales and limited time promotions, which tend to be steep discounts but have a short life span (24 hours). Expedia’s newsletter is the way to go to get notified of these time sensitive offers.
Cash back Programs and Credit Card Partnerships
Pair your Expedia bookings with cashback apps such as Rakuten or TopCashback, which will get you up to 12% back on your purchases. Moreover, certain co branded credit cards offer additional benefits on Expedia such as bonus points or additional discounts making it more beneficial to book your accommodations from Expedia. For example, the Expedia Rewards Credit Card by Citi automatically gives you Silver status and gets you extra points on all purchases.

Use rewards points and promo codes, book vacation packages, get exclusive deals on the mobile app — the list goes on as to how you can stretch your travel budget further. Just pair these tips with strategic planning like being flexible with the dates, and monitoring the flash sales and you’ll be well prepared to book an amazing getaway.
