Dear *** *****,
Thank you for being a valued Expedia Rewards member. With the Expedia Rewards program, you earn points on all the hotel stays, flights, packages, and activities you book on Expedia.com and can redeem points for travel with no blackout dates instead of being locked into a single brand or airline.
Since the program launched earlier this year, we've been working to fine-tune Expedia Rewards, and we want to let you know about some important program changes that are going into effect today.
What has changed?
- All vacation package bookings will now earn double points (2 points per $1), so you can maximize your point earnings when you book your flight and hotel with Expedia.
- Flight bookings will now earn 1 Expedia® Point per $2 spent.
- Earn double points (2 points per $1) on all hotel bookings starting with your 2nd hotel booking between now and June 30, 2012. You must register here to receive the bonus points.
- As an Elite Plus® member, you'll earn 25% bonus Expedia Points on any hotels or vacation packages that include a hotel.
- Our reward chart will also be changing effective November 22, 2011. To redeem your accumulated Expedia Points at the current conversion rates, please be sure to do so before this date.
- For a limited time, redeem your points for a donation to St. Jude Children's Hospital to support childhood cancer research.
- You'll continue to earn points on 70,000+ hotels, 140+ airlines, and 3,500 activities booked on Expedia.com.
- As always, earn miles with your frequent flyer programs and earn Expedia Points on the same booking.
- Redeem points for eligible hotels and flights with no blackout dates.
- Plus, you'll continue to receive exclusive bonus offers.
- You'll continue to enjoy all other benefits exclusive to Elite Plus members, such as free room upgrades at VIP Access hotels, priority customer care, hotel price guarantee, and more!
- Add a hotel to your flight booking to earn double Expedia Points. For example, you will earn 250 points on a $500 roundtrip flight (1 point per $2); but if you add a 2-night hotel stay for $250 in the same booking, you will earn 1,500 points on this Flight + Hotel package (2 points per $1). Plus, as an Elite Plus member, you earn an additional 375 points (25% bonus points).
- Take advantage of our bonus offers available only to members; check your Rewards Summary page often for special offers exclusive for you. For example, when you pay with your MasterCard® card for an eligible hotel or package booking, you can earn double Expedia Points to accelerate your earnings
