What You Need to Know About Expedia Reward Points

How Expedia Points work, is easy. These points are accumulated each time you make a booking using your Expedia+ account. You can earn these points on everything from hotel stays to car rentals, which can then be redeemed for discounts on future bookings, or depending on how many you’ve accumulated, a free booking. How to redeem Expedia Points is just as easy as earning them. To redeem Expedia Points for a hotel booking, login to your Expedia+ account and redeem them for a hotel coupon code, which will be deposited into your account. You can apply the coupon code during the checkout process for your booking. To redeem Expedia Points for a flight, search for flights from your points account page. How many Expedia Points for a flight may vary, but the exchange rate is roughly around 100 Points to $1. The search results will display the cost of the flight in points, so you can see if you have enough to pay for the booking. If you do, the page will guide you through the rest of the checkout process. To find out more about Expedia Points, see How To Use Expedia Points.

About Expedia

Expedia launched in 1996 as a division of Microsoft. Within the first three years in business, Microsoft decided to spin off Expedia as its own company to focus on software development. Expedia soon expanded beyond Microsoft's original vision for an online travel agency and absorbed some of the most popular Internet travel sites in the industry under their brand, including Travelocity, Orbitz, Mobiata and Wotif.

Expedia is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington – in a 20 story building named for the company. It operates localized websites for 30 countries around the globe, ensuring the best travel deals regardless of where the traveler resides. Expedia has won several awards from prestigious magazines, including a spot on Forbe's “Most Admired Companies” and “America's Best Managed Companies” lists in 2008.

Since its inception, Expedia has grown into one of the largest travel companies in the world, with other brands to its name, including Hotels.com and Hotwire.com. Collectively, Expedia offers a one stop shopping experience for all travelers – whether your next trip is for business or pleasure. With a little time and research you can plan your next trip, get information about your selected travel destinations, find cool activities to do at your destination, and (most importantly) save big on all your travel needs.
