Hotel Deals - [EXPIRED] Expedia up to $200 in Gift Cards +Gas Cards if using Master Card

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned around here yet.

Expedia is offering up to $200 in MasterCard GiftCards on standalone hotels bookings as well as flight + hotel packages. If you pay using MasterCard you can get an additional 25 or $50 gas card.

There's no minimum spend just minimum nights. Think back to Vegas deal...:D I booked 4 nights at the Vegas Club for $37 total and already filled out the forms after booking for the 150(mastercard) + 50(gas). :cool:

This has been mentioned - take a look: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hotel-deals/934858-general-list-codes-promos-orbitz-hotels-com-expedia-travelzoo-others-90.html.

You've also not listed all the details of these PROMOS such as you have to "Like" Expedia on Facebook and book through the link from Facebook for the $50 to $200 Mastercard gift card. Plus the Mastercard gas card for $25 to $50 is an additional promo and that has to be booked by July 4, 2011 and the stay has to be completed by 8/31/2011.

It looks like they can be combined (provided you meet the qualifications of both), any thoughts to the contrary?

I'm looking to use this for a Hilton property and want to use my HHonors amex for the 2500 stay bonus (new card). The expedia charge must be mastercard to maximize the value (gas card).

Anyone have any ideas how I could get this stay on my Amex for the 2500 bonus? Maybe charge the incidentals?

One of the best deals out there! Last year they had something similar and received my card promptly (less than 6-8 weeks after the stay, as advertised)

thanks. good deal.

Four nights is dead. Two nights with a $50 and $25 gift card still work.

4 nights ($150) still works for me.

I booked one two hours ago for the $150. I just love the folks that proclaim a deal dead, where there is a steady pulse.

How do you get the $150 off? I'm looking at 4 night stays in Las Vegas, but seeing nothing. Is this a function of locations/rates?

It is one per person, so the max you could get is one $200 GC right? Still a good deal. I booked last week via expedia and did not see this so thank you OP for pointing it out.

Did you go though Facebook link?

No- should I be? If so what is the link?

Read the other thread referenced earlier. Not a lot of accurate details in this one.

anyone found a good deal in the San Diego area?

4 nights ($150) still works for me.

Looks like it is still a valid deal and actually will be for months to come. Thanks for the tip. One quick question: Do you have to pay for the 4 nights hotel stay (or other qualifying minimum) with a MasterCard? I didn't see such a requirement in the T&C, but wondered if I missed it since the reward is a MasterCard prepaid card.

That's what I was trying to figure out too before making a booking. I've read the T&Cs twice and have not seen that clause unless I missed something.

thanks for heads up, perfect timing

Sorry, I meant the gas card stacking. Originally, Expedia had a four night $150 gift card and a $50 gas card stacked with this offer. That is now gone. You can still do a two night $50 gift card and a $25 gas card. That is what I was referring to.

Of course, you can still do the gift card offer by itself.

I just booked the Cosmo Hotel in Hong Kong for 2 nights with a MC, and even though the gas card offer was prominently displayed, there was no option to request the gas card, only the $50 gift card. So maybe it's gone entirely.

Even so, I'm getting a decent hotel in Hong Kong for $54/nt, which is considerably cheaper than the last 2 times I stayed there.

You'll see it if you go directly to Expedia.com but if you link through Facebook, it disappears. They're just not allowing the stacking of two promos anymore.

Bummer, I don't see the $25 gas card on two nights stacked anymore either. Snooze you lose, I guess.

I was responding to this in the post by N_Phoenix:

"You can still do a two night $50 gift card and a $25 gas card."

not the $50 gas card option.

I am wondering whether it is possible to utilize this while using one of their $50 BRG coupons...

yes, it is.

Any way to churn (use this more than once)?

The $150+$50 offer is gone. I made reservation right at the time when 150+50 were still stackable. However, its no longer the case! I logged into my itenaries just a moment ago and only $150 is still there! no more $50! Its such a bad practice when Expedia just removed without notifying its customers!!

I checked my reservation and noticed the same thing!
Not sure if it's OK, since at the time of booking I was clearly promised 2 cards, not 1...

I don't see the 150 gift card at all. Is it still there for new booking?

Yes. I have liked expedia already after failing to see the coupon. Yet when I search again, I still don't see it. Thanks.

I still see it on some hotels. It's never on all of them.

Book now and receive a $150 prepaid debit card! »

I just booked and checked in to a Ramada for 4 nights for $204 and the 150 offer.
I was unable to apply any other codes because none of them qualified.
I used a MC to book, but was not sure if I could use Visa.
After checkout I filled out a form for the $150 GC and it said I would receive by July 17. Hopefully this is true

I have 2 questions:
-Can I use a Visa to book this?
-Can I repeat this offer for a family member with a different CC but same address?

Do you see any in Tokyo?
Thanks.
I don't see any and not sure if ther is nothing there or I did something wrong.

Yes and yes. Use different CC, email and Expedia account.

Why don't you check Bali. That's where I checked. Lots of hotels available.

Yes and yes. Use different CC, email and Expedia account.

Would it have to be a seperate FB account too?

Would it have to be a seperate FB account too?

I don't think so. I booked 3 packages from the same computer.

DId anyone get a card yet?

Yes, I see the offer for Tokyo hotels.

Yes, I see the offer for Tokyo hotels.

I see nothing in Tokyo or Bali. Only see the 50 USD card. Wonder if it is because I am not in USA at the moment...

So in the corner of expedia, there is a like button, and mine is not clickable anymore. As I had like expedia in my FB already.

I'm not in the USA and can see 150 or 200$ card, so that is not an issue.

It's you.

It's you.

Thank you to you and all.
I got it to work. Pretty sweet deal, the terms is tough a the card will expire 3 months after issue.
I plan to buy money order from walmart.

I stayed in hotel from expedia for 2 days and I think that I`m qualified for the 50USD card.
But... I dont live in USA - can I send it to someone else to use it ?

does it only eligible for US residents?

Not sure if this is still working. I used the link for a 4-night hotel stay and only got the $50 gas voucher. Call Expedia customer service (I'm elite) and what they did for me was as follows. They told me to cancel my original rez, and then they rebooked my first night using a $100 voucher they dropped in my account. I then rebooked the remaining 3 nights, which qualified for the $50 gas voucher. So total savings of $150, but the hard way (although I did get an immediate $100 off, instead of having to wait for the $150 card). But, obviously, this is now a YMMV thing. Not sure how you'd get the $150 card and the $50 gas card.

Sorry, this is a stupid question but I'm new to this...it says the offer should show with qualifying hotels in the search results on expedia, but I'm not seeing any hotels listing any kind of offers in the results. I searched for hotels through the expedia facebook page. Am I looking at the wrong thing or is the offer expired now? Thanks

the Facebook promo still works. The gas card promo even though it says book by July 31 is no longer. I tried inPrivate browsing to see if it is the Facebook promo cookie blocking it and no go. Called Expedia and on the second try got a rep that said the gas card promo is over. It did say July 31 or when we run out.

Got in. Now let's see if I can get the GCs.

Does the gift card go to the billing address or the account holder's address? It's not really clear to me. I need to book a hotel for a family member. They will stay in the hotel. Where exactly will the gift card go -- me or him? Anyone who's completed the process can you tell me?

It goes wherever you want it to. You fill out a card with name and address.

so i booked this and stayed at a hotel in early june. according to expedia.com, the 2 gift cards should have arrived by now. they havent...any ideas?
thanks

To get the cards, you must separately provide them with a card shipping address. Go to your itineraries, select the specific itinerary, scroll to bottom and look for Expedia Extras associated with this specific reservation and then click on request shipment. There is a time limit on when you MUST give them this separate shipping address.

just received my $150 gift card for a booking mid june. ^

Received my $150 as well but not yet my $50 gas card for the same stay. Will wait a few days to see before calling.

good job. guys! now we are in business!!

I've gotten 3x $150 so far. Am missing 1, and no $50 gas card.

This is an incredible deal. I booked 4 nights Vegas hotel for $121.00 and am registered for a $150 gift card. I wasn't planning on Vegas but, geesh, they sure make it irresistable.

gift cards not being send yet seem to have gone from accounts... my card is not showing any more

It was just a glitch yesterday... I'm able to see that now again.

I've a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to use those cards for online purchases?
2. Anyone has idea what would be the cheapest way of getting cash out of these cards?
/Buying prepaid card is an option, I'm just not sure if that's the most cost effective way.../

For those that booked a stay that included 2 gift cards ($150 and $50 gas). Has anyone received both cards for that stay? I have received only the $150 card about a week ago. If you did not receive both cards, did you call? What was the result? I intend to call next week. Thanks

I just got $150 for now. But if you read T&Cs for both cards carefully: FB fan card ($150) is supposed to take 4-6 weeks to arrive, while $50 gas card 6-8 weeks. That might explain the delay.

That may be the problem. I'll wait a while. Orginally Expedia showed both offers on my account and then for a long time only the $150 card. Now I see both offers are back. Thanks

I've gotten 3x $150 so far. Am missing 1, and no $50 gas card.

Is it the case that anybody can get this deal multiple times? I thought I read somewhere that it was limited to one offer per person, but I wasn't sure how that was enforced (i.e. one per credit card, one per facebook page, one per expedia account).

Did you get gift cards sent multiple times with the same facebook page/credit card/expedia account/address/addressee? Thanks for info!

4-day trip, DEN-ABQ or ABQ-DEN coming out to about 218.00 on EXP various dates in AUG/SEPT/OCT, hotel and flight

almost free ...or free w/BRG or the 30.00 Elite coupon. Free trips are nice.

looks like it was pulled early. was supposed to work until end of 2011 for travel incl. june 2012. sad.

Which page yields the valid hotels for this promo? Looking to book 4 nights in LA and hoping to receive the $150 gc

I think you need to have the cookie saved on your computer. I booked a trip about 1/2 hour ago and it worked for me.

I really really hope that this deal is working legitimately for those who kept the cookies... but I still feel compelled to highlight the below... so be careful out there! :)

Not sure why it would not be legitimate, as we are not doing anything abnormal to get the offer. It is offered when I go on expedia. As for the WHILE SUPPLIES LAST clause, its not like they just added that, it has said it from the beginning.....

If they do not come up with a GC, or similar, I will dispute the charge.

cookies still saved on my computer. offer shows when searching for hotel. however, offer disappears once i get to the payment page.... so it looks like it is really, really gone now.

No, Still working. It seems to be hit and miss though.... If I change flights, it goes away.

I am clueless to this right now! Can someone tell me how to find this deal? Do I have to use the facebook page?

How can i get this? Thanks!

confirmed, they pulled it almost 5 months ahead of time. this was posted on facebook by expedia:

Hi all - the FriendTrips rewards deal ended yesterday. Please stay tuned for more deals just for our Facebook Fans!

I just hope they honor past bookings which had the offer when the booking was made.

I booked a hotel for about $70 in early June. I can see the 150 MC promotion in my account till now. I was expected to stay in Aug 26, but I am unable to take the trip now. Can I still receive the MC without check-in if I do not cancel the booking?

I did not check in and have already received (and spent) my MC :D

I got my 4th $150 card in the mail today. Still haven't seen any of the two $50 gas cards I was supposed to get.

Recieved mine!!!
Stayed right at the beginning of promo and listed my parents address as I had not moved into a place yet.

So this was recieved some time in the last 12 days but not sure exactly when.

You can get more than 1 per account?

No, but you can get more than 1 account :cool: ...

This was one of the most outrageous deals ever. Glad that I got in on it on time. I've learned that it's important to: 1) Recognize a gem of an offer; 2) Once identified, don't sit on it but act fast, regardless of expiration dates, etc. I booked 4 nights Vegas hotel and will get rebated (gift card) the entire cost PLUS get some $40 on top of it.

is this dead?

It's dead, Jim.

Got an email saying there was an "oops" with my $50 gas card. Had to sign into my account, and fill out the info, although it had been filled out at the time of booking.

I got my 4th $150 card in the mail today. Still haven't seen any of the two $50 gas cards I was supposed to get.

How long after the stays did you receive your $150 cards? I'm also still waiting for a gas card from a 4th of July stay.

The $150 are coming in batches, I have received all of mine, but quite a few other forum buddies are still waiting. The best way to tell if your $150 has been processed it to view your itinerary and see of you can edit your shipping address. If you can edit it,then it hasn't been processed yet but if not, it will be on its way soon.

No One has received the gas card yet. I did get emails to re-enter my address for the gas card, so Expedia is going to ship

It took a while, but I finally received the $50 gas card for a 4th of July weekend stay.

I was on the phone with Expedia yesterday. As usual, several disconnects later, they researched my six expected cards and said that I can expect them 8-12 weeks after stay completed. They verified my mailing address too.

I have learned that as soon as I get on the line with someone that knows what they are doing (about 25% of the time), I give them my call back tel number in case we get disconnected and they will usually call me back after the usual disconnect!

The $50 "gas" cards arrived today, and you will be able to use the cards on other stuff because they are the same as the $150 prepaid Mastercard. :D

I got my $100 prepaid card yesterday in the mail for a Labor Day weekend stay.

Still Haven't gotten my $150 gift card. Called the other day & now when I click thru to the actual bonus where you add your address for delivery - It now reads that it was sent for processing on 10/06/11. Hopefully I will get them soon from an early August Vegas stay.

Gift card came today - finally...

what's interesting is that, even if I cancelled my reservation (since no need anymore), still received the GC, completely unexpected...

Received my $150 card in less than 3 weeks.

this is impressive!!!!!!

this is impressive!!!!!!

actually, we got 2. one 150$ for myself, one 150$ for my GF. we use the SAME address....so strange

I just got the GC in the mail for my trip NEXT WEEK! Gotta luv Expedia.

So, I've been trying to get my gift card since last spring and finally today I get an email with a link to give my address for shipping. It says I'll have my card by 3/17. I'm not betting on it.
