That's what I said when the expedia.ca $300 off promotion first came to light. I was like "no way this is going to be honored" but to my surprise, it was. Many people tried to spin it by saying Expedia would break even (money from tourism authorities, selling seats on empty flights, etc.)...all BS. I'm sure Expedia lost millions on that offer.
