This glitch has been well-documented, at least as pertaining to UK promo and site. No surprise that .fr site has same issues, but you summarized the work-around.

Also, can anyone explain why the expedia.co.uk refer-a-friend page after enetering your e-mail account and password for refering a friend, turns into expedia.fr (and the result is that the voucher is in Euros, not Pounds)?!
It appears the promos are using a single database. You can log onto a UK referring account from the .fr homepage, for example. My guess would be that if the e-mail was regged as a referral account (or received a voucher for a referral) on the .fr side then it'll always be linked only to that promo.
