It is definitely possible to book trips outside the US. I have a three night trip from Munich to Warsaw coming up, with 3 nights at the Intercontinental and a flight on Lufthansa, for just over $200.
Some good deals for the ICs in Bali and Seoul as well.
Paying is one concern, the other being if there is any benefit from this promo to trips not originating and ending in the US.
The first part has been answered for you by jpdx. I can't answer if you will have difficulty paying with a non-US based credit card but if it works like the Expedia UK refer a friend promo it should not be a problem.
Benefit. A darn cheap trip if you can find one. Again, the lowest I've found is $43.99 for LAX-LAS at the Candlewood Suites for 3 nights. Also, WAS-EWR at the Holiday Inn Newark for just over $44 for 3 nights. There are others. I know you're looking for international travel so go looking...it's a fun hunt.
As for points, if that means something to you, for example, I got nothing out of my recent Priceline package at the Intercontinental Montelucia in Arizona and air travel on US Airways. This was not a name-your-own-price.
Purchase an "Expedia Special Rate" hotel and get $300 in Expedia coupons, $100 off coupon for an "Expedia Special Rate" 3-night or more hotel stay and a $200 off coupon for a 3-night or more air+hotel package. Must sign up for or have an Expedia account.
The $200 single-use coupon is valid only on the new booking of an air+hotel vacation package of three (3) or more consecutive nights, booked by 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) on October 31, 2009, for travel between August 1, 2009 and October 31, 2009. Travel must be completed by October 31, 2009. Click “Choose and continue” after selecting your air+hotel trip. On the Rate Details Summary page, click the “I have a coupon” link and select the saved coupon. The discount will be subtracted from the total price of the transaction at the time of booking.

I got the coupons today from this Expedia promotion
I've been working on BUF-JFK via Jetblue, but need 4 tickets. I had two lined up in open browsers, created a new account, and now I don't even see JetBlue as a choice on the expedia. I am leery of the expedia site.
I think Expedia has fixed the problems with mainline major carrier domestic flights not working with the promo. EVERY flight combo I tried with every major carrier (I tried AA, CO, DL, NW, UA) that previously did not work ARE now working with the 200IHG promo this morning. Remember, they still have to be non-refundable flights to make the promo work, though.

I agree. Took it for a test drive, CO mid Sept. EWR-LAS for 175.00 on CO, no longer going error on me.

Cancun and Waikiki work too.. . i've been over on SD and we're compiling a list of hotels that work with the coupon.
I'm in SPokane, WA and found $100 trips to Portland for 3 nts, $225 to Seattle w/ 3 nts a Crowne Plaza, just for fund check Spokane to Honolulu and got Waikiki for $530.
Here's an example that I posted on SD of a really low priced package and how to make it work when the price of the package is so low it won't take off the $200 coupon:
ATL-Miami (but select FLL as the airport after it asks which airport). AirTran. Many dates but my example is 9/12-15. Candlewood Suites Miami Airport West. $217.34 BEFORE coupon. Taxes $44.85. Total has to be equal to or higher than the taxes AFTER $200 coupon so an add-on or multiple add-ons totaling $27.51 MUST be added. I added A. Dinner at Hard Rock Cafe for $20.00. B. One Green TerraPass (carbon footprint) $6.99. C. One subscription to a magazine. $1.00.
Total after coupon $45.33 which includes air, hotel, taxes, dinner at Hard Rock and a magazine subscription and that "green" fee...for 3 nights.
I'm looking for a discount code for use on any of the major online travel sites (expedia, hotels.com, orbitz, travelocity, etc) for $X off a 3 night Hotel ONLY stay. A bunch were posted a few months ago, but they have since expired. Anyone know of anything? I know they are out there!
I already used my Expedia $100 off (from the Mastercard promo!)
Programs: NW Plat, UA 1K, CO Silver, HH Diamond, MR Silver

I'd be happy to compile a list of hotels. Please PM me with contributions. (PM for the sake of keeping this thread from too much clutter. Wish FT had wiki posts!)
