Booked a trip to London in November 2020 and had to cancel due to Covid but I was assured by Expedia customer service that I would get flight credits but I had a year to use them. They don’t tell you that it’s a year from the original purchase date so I only had 4 months to use them. Now came the worst part… trying to book a trip using those flight credit’s! I spent literally hours on the phone over three days trying get my trip booked. Expedia would tell me to call American Airlines and they would tell me to call Expedia. Expedia wanted to charge another $4000 for just the flights on top of my $3200 flight credit. In the end It was cheaper to rebook the entire trip not using the credits which I did. But that $3200 is just gone and Expedia couldn’t care less. This trip will be the last time I will ever use them and I will trash talk them to anyone that will listen!

Do not, under any circumstances, use Expedia. We had to cancel flights at Christmas time due to Omicron and were given flight credits. When we tried to redeem them on the app - in January, for travel in summer - it only allowed for one-way bookings. When I logged into the desktop version, it has the same problem. Turning then to the chat bot for help, that is also thoroughly useless. If you want any hope of actual help, you need to ask for a live agent (not that you can speak to them - it's still on chat). So having worked out where we want to go and when, I have spent no less than three hours (literally) online only to be told the 'fare base' rules for our flight credits don't allow that. When I asked "what do they allow", all the agent can say is "pick a different date or destination" (which is not an answer to the question). In sum, no one is able to help you. This is a catastrophically horrible customer experience. Avoid this company like the plague.

The worst customer services system ever! You used to be able to speak to a human on the phone, but now the phone system just makes it extremely difficult to speak to a real person on the phone! In fact it just designed to deliberately make it impossible to get through to a real person on the phone! Don't use expedia!

Expedia sucks so bad. DO not book thru them. The credit isn't really credit you will pay more for the "credit" then the original booking.

Purchased tickets and flight insurance for a vacation to Mexico. Got positive tests for Covid, so preceded to change or cancel our flights. We were mislead. They would not refund us or let us change our flight to a later date. They play middle man and take no responsibility when things go wrong.

An agent at expedia gave misinformation about the process to use an airline credit towards a future flight. After this, the company was unwilling to help even though they were the ones to make the mistake. Factor in waiting multiple consecutive 8 hour holds, I will never use expedia again, and I recommend that nobody else does.

I would have given it 0 star if there was an option. In 2020 I booked some flights through Expedia to Lebanon to spend Christmas with my family. Obviously with the pandemic, I decided not to go, and contacted Expedia to move my flight. I was given a credit note to use later. Then in 2021, I called Expedia to use that credit note to book flights for this Christmas. I was also charged extra for the change in price. They said everything was handled, that I should not worry. Then in September I was checking my itinerary, and realised that I could not find the actual confirmation. I called Expedia and they told me that the airline cancelled my ticket. Nobody told me about this when it happened; if I had not called to check I would never have known. I called the airline (MEA) and they confirmed that it was actually Expedia who cancelled my ticket. So I called Expedia again, explaining that this was their fault. After just over 3 hours on the phone (after several call attempts being dropped by them, and during which they tried several times to explain I would not get a refund), they finally booked me my flights and again I had to pay the difference. They did refund me the extra I had paid earlier. Again they told me that everything was fine, and this time I got a confirmation email from Expedia. Now in December I am going over my itinerary and I can see that, once again, I have no flights booked. When I called the airline, they informed me that Expedia started to book flights, but did not complete the booking. Once again, Expedia did not tell me about this at the time; once again if I had not called I never would have known. I am really at my wits end with these people. I have not seen my family in 2 years and I am stunned by this incompetence and lack of customer care. I am now dreading having to spend another day on the phone with them, knowing that they will not refund but will try and push a credit note on me again (if that!). I never want to deal with this company again. They sent an email to airline a month ago to get my refund and haven't received any reply. When I called to ask about it, they said I should just wait. How long? They are just trying to avoid paying me back. IT IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER. THEY JUST STEAL EVERYONE's MONEY. I WILL NEVER USE EXPEDIA AGAIN. STAY AWAY! AWFUL.

DO NOT USE THEM!! The website is easy to use and looks great UNTIL you have issues with booking or questions. it near impossible to get in touch with anybody about any questions you may have. And if you do they provide generic response. DO NOT USE THEM! You can get similar rates but a lot better care for customers on other website and booking services!

Expedia emailed me stating my expedia flight credits need to be redeemed by 12/31. I login, click 'use credits' and come to the search for flights page. The page does not load after many attempts, rebooting WiFi, and using multiple browsers. The main page loads flights without any issues at all. Spoke to customer service using vitrual chat, was told to contact the airline. Airline has zero records, told to contact expedia again. Expedia customer service is an absolute abomination, not helpful whatsoever. Basically long story short they stole over $600 from me. Do not book with expedia, no "deal" is worth the risk you will take or the headache of hearing "ma'am, there's nothing I can do for you" for hours.

Had to cancel a hotel booking and could not and was not even considered for a refund. Hotel chain (most) will honor a cancellation a day before and it was unavoidable that we had to cancel. EASY MONEY for Expedia. Something could have been in the fine print, understood, but look at how long that is and who really always reads all of that. Worked with their customer support and it was cut in stone that my money was staying in their pocket. Terrible company in this day and age.

Purchased the cancelation insurance with a round-trip ticket for my son to come home for the holidays. Had to switch to different flight and they are fighting us on the refund. Who does that?! It's disgusting that a company would steal from people. Especially with lockdowns and the holidays.

Worst company in the world. Stay away. Any problem with them, they will never try to solve it. Their customer service absolutely useless. Never book any hotel, flight, or vacation packages. The worst company out there. Stay away from this company!

Scheduled a plane ticket with Expedia. Bought insurance and an Upgraded seat. Had to cancel a half hour later. Expedia canceled the plane ticket with American but told me it would take 5 to 7 days to cancel the seat and insurance It is now almost 3 weeks later, several calls later and still no refund on the seat and the insurance. Called again today and they said they upgraded the request and I should know in 3 to 5 days. I have a feeling they make a lot of money on people who do not check to make sure they have Gotten a refund as promised. Very poor business. I will be going through the airlines or hotels directly when making future reservations. Also didn’t realize Expedia owns so many other of the companies that you think are independent like hotels.com etc.

When are Expedia planning to refund people for cancelled flights from the lockdowns? I'm still waiting. I'm still calling their useless call centre. Promised a voucher. Never appeared. Promised a refund, never appeared. Am reporting them to the CAA ...

Expedia. I needed to amend a booking and they claimed it didn't exist. Three phone calls, three hours of time wasted. One operative pretended there was a system update in order to hang up. I had to send bank statements to prove they had taken the money. Absolutely shocking. Do not ever use

Room was not as advertised on Expedia. I contacted Expedia within 24 hours of check in to let them know about the discrepancy. They advised that I check out and they would contact the hotel to see what they could do. During checkout, the hotel said they had sent paperwork to Expedia. Expedia blamed the hotel and the hotel blamed Expedia. Both said they would like to be able to cancel and provide a partial refund but they were unable because that could only be done through the other party. Buyer beware. You may not get what is advertised on Expedia website. And if there is a discrepancy between the two you will given an apology and that’s all.
