Your credit card has been charged in full. If your plans change, you must cancel or change your hotel reservation in advance in accordance with the Expedia.com and hotel cancellation policies to avoid a no-show charge.
Cancellations or changes made before 4:00 PM (Korea Standard Time) on 3/11/2006 are subject to a $25.00 penalty.
Anyone has any experience with the no-show charge? What If I can't make it, what is the best way to go about it. Cancell for $25? Just don't show up, what will they charge?

expedia credit possible?
Booked 4/15/06-4/23/06 and 8/5/06-8/20/06 for a total of 23 nights, executive King room+breakfast. ^ ^ ^
Since the actual cost is $200 /night, I wonder if expedia.com will not honor the $4 rate???
I am willing to take $50/night customer relation credit if it's not honored. This would give me $1,100 expedia.com credit.
Does expedia.com have any credit voucher for such errors?

I just booked 2 Executive Club rooms in Osaka over the 4th of July week for $58 all in. I sure wonder how they'll treat this reservation. Does anyone have a past experience in which Expedia, specifically, mispriced something?
I'm hesitant to book air (even FF tickets) until we have some experience on how these bookings are handled.
To all you FT'ers who have booked rooms in the near future please keep us posted! Good luck.

Booked a few days after the new year and a week in march in Osaka.
I dunno how I'll get there yet, but it's worth the $20 to try it.
Let's stick together on this thing. Last mistake I was involved in Expedia didn't honor it, but Travelocity did. Too bad it wasn't showing up on Travelocity.

I have been involved in most of the FT "low fare" deals, BA $20, W TS $25, Sheraton N.O., USAIR 1.86, ect..
This is prepaid and my cc has been charged. This rate will stick.

I got a week in Osaka over Labor day weekend. Would have loved Tokyo but literally, you snooze you lose 
I have wanted to go to Japan for some time but have never been. If the rate sticks I may do my week in Osaka and then take the train to Tokyo for another week using SPG points there. If they were to offer a few hundred bucks in Expedia credit to save themselves $2,000, I might be inclined to take it though. It'll be good times either way

Hey does Expedia charge a flat service fee per booking? If they do, I didn't see it.
I booked Toyko exec room with breakfast for 7 nights approx $25, upon checking out, was offered by entertainment.com $25 off my next expedia booking (no min $booking) for making a 30day trial of Entertainment.com.
So guess what? I booked another week at Osaka for $25 - $25 == $0!!
Big Thanks OP! ^ ^ ^

Expedia is the one that'll have to eat this, if they honor it...
These are Expedia special rates, so presumably they're acting as a consolidator -- buying a block of rooms and reselling, only in this case they're reselling below cost!
Or is that not how these 'special rates' work?

I'm Confirmed
According to expedia, my itinerary for Osaka is confirmed and I have a hotel confirmation number. Is there any way of adding my hhonors account to the reservation so that I may get some points for the extras at the hotel and/or I'll get the status perks I'm entitled to as a diamond. I know I won't get points or mileage - but hopefully they won't put me in a closet because of the rate if I have my hhonors # on the res.
Thanks!
I love FT!!!
