First time using Expedia

Well, if UA wanted to stimulate business they certainly did. I just purchased 2 tix from HPN (White Plains) to Indy in October.

I'm looking forward to my 30% off in the future.
By purchasing at Expedia, I did lose the UA online 1000 mile bonus, but hey, I"ll get that 30% off. If I use it on a $500 flight, that's $150. off.

I wonder if Expedia or UA is eating the difference? UA saves the online bonus miles, and that's worth something. (Not much).

It also took a little longer booking with Expedia, but maybe that was because it was my first time on their site. BTW, I also booked a National car rental that was $55 for 3 days. Nat quoted $85 on their 800#. And that was for Emerald! Not bad.

I'm staying over a Saturday night for $210 R/T.

Anyone from / or been to Indy or Bloomington?
<<< Could use some info.
