Expedia took away the coupons from reservations I had cancelled.

I don't usually cancel but on the rare cases when I needed to I made sure I used the coupon BEFORE cancelling. How can they take it away if you already used it? Haven't done an Expedia BRG in months and it sounds like it's gotten very iffy but if cancelling was my goal I would make sure I do it AFTER coupon is used. Don't know if there are any problems with this approach now since it looks like they have changed all the rules.

Yep, worked for me today, as well. I just hate calling in to Expedia, so figured it would work again some day.

Worked for me, too.

Anyone know if they fixed that glitch when you try to cancel online and it cancels the itinerary but doesn't refund the money. I think that was the issue that started this thread if I recall correctly.

So you can now apply a BPG to a new booking according to what people are saying. Are there still issues with cancelling and refunds?

They are taking the brgs away when you cancel the room. is this something everyone else is experiencing as well?

I have not done any BRGs recently but I am not surprised if they are starting to do this. Are you saying they took away your coupon after you cancelled? Did you call in to cancel or did you cancel online directly? Did you cancel immediately or waited days/weeks before you cancelled?

I canceled online like 10 minutes after callingto get the brg. Perhaps theres a length of time I should wait?

I don't know if waiting makes any difference. BTW, did you automatically get your refund after you cancelled on line or did you have to call in? I thought cancel online was not working.

Refund posted to card automatically, no call needed. Is anyone else experiencing their coupons disappearing after canceling?
