I recently used one of my GBP 40 vouchers to book a stay. Unfortunately, my plans have changed by 1 day. On the website, it says I can cancel and get the get all the cash paid refunded to my credit card, but will I have the GBP 40 voucher refunded also to make another booking?

Nope, the voucher's gone.

I'd ring the hotel directly and try to rearrange - they may be willing to play ball, especially if it is a cancellable rate anyway.

I am currently getting (via various e-mail addresses) a rash of e-mail from Expedia saying "Welcome Back from Hanoi" and hoping that I enjoyed my stay in the decrepit zero-star hostel that was booked, coincidentally for just under £20 ....

And I'm sure the folks running those £20 hostels in Hanoi wondered why their Expedia bookings surged, and why the guests never show up!
I bet they'll be disappointed when the bookings dry up. Easy come, easy go, I guess.

I wonder if Expedia's happy they did this, overall.

well, if the voucher could be used, Expedia is really a good option for saving...

Referred ten people. At least two fully complied. I got no 40 LB certs. Nothing. Emailed. Nothing.

Email mismatch might be the most probable reason of failing to receive 40 voucher. I believe the system works fine for most people.

In these two known cases (I'm guessing I had others) I was there. Emails were accurate to the letter. No dice.
This was under the old rules, right before the change. I'm pretty sure I was not alone in getting skunked.

I can assure you are not alone. My last three 20 £ bookings did not give me any 40 £ voucher

Sorry to hear that.

My last 20gbp referral never produced a 40 ... and I know it was done correctly. Post-coupon apocalypse.
