EDIT: Jetblue fares do NOT work. US Air other most likely will.

Expedia charges FULL AMOUNT to the CC but will refund the difference in 4-7 bd
The deal is not dead. It is most definitely not dead. About 10 minutes ago, I completed booking round trip from TPA to LAS. Staying at a 3 star property for 3 days. Cost with taxes is 88 bucks.
At first, I was using Firefox and it would not accept the code. I also have Slimbrowser that I use in place of IE. I opened that up, started from scratch, entered SAVE300, and it worked first time.
I took screenshots of everything. Personally I don't see how they can take back the $300 since they already accepted and "charged" me the difference.
Traveller and cost summary
Total amount charged C$88.43

I have booked a few trips using this cert. actually, but had to use different credit card for each or it would say the code is no longer valid, so I do hope I will be refunded for the difference. Everyone !!!!!! who booked fares using this cert. if you think you were changed the total fare price quoted "total amount charged" make sure you check your credit card and also print the payment history located on the final booking page. They charge FULL AMOUNT of the fare, but under the payment history they say what amount is charged by the airline and what amount will be refunded by the Expedia. So, I do hope that they will refund me the difference, because as of now I only see full amount charged on my credit cards. And when I called them to clarify this, they said it will take from 4-7 business days to receive the full refund, BUT in the worst case it could take up to 2 business cycles (which is 2 month) ( So, keep track your credit card charges to make sure you get full refund.
P.S. I did the bookings before I noticed change of terms in the language of cert. and I printed a copy of the terms the do not say ONE PER PERSON, but "one per booking". On the beginning though, it does say: canadian bookings only (which I understood as using expedia.ca). So, will see what comes out of it. My fist trip is with my husband tomorrow, from ORD to LGA.

Two statement cycles is holdover language for people who do not access their accounts online.
If something gets credited in 2-3 days, and your statement gets issued just beforehand, it could take up to "two statement cycles" before you see it, since it wouldn't be printed until about a month from now. Hence that language being used here and by others.
It will take a few days for the credit, just like it will take a few days for the charge.

For those of you concerned about Expedia canceling your flights and hotel, I don't think it will be done this weekend. Expedia will need hundreds of agents working extra hours on a Saturday night and Sunday to go through the thousands of bookings done yesterday and today. I don't see Expedia canceling anything until they assess the damages and come up with a strategy to solve the problem. Of course, this is only my opinion, but just think about it...
There will be a lot of manual labor involved, if x.ca decides to pursue it. There is no way to do this automatically as some SAVE300 bookings are valid.

If you had been following the thread, you would have read that many people, including myself, have already had the credit posted. I am surprised you felt the need to call them just to clarify how the refund works.

No, I did not have time to read through 100&some pages of the thread, just the last 3. But I was checking my credit card and no credit just yet. I did book it before the change of terms on the cert. Maybe it depends on what credit company it is...

Once things calm down, I would like to see if some of us can get together for a do. Anybody arriving around 6pm on Monday?

PS Given the change in language, I would NOT be booking at this point, unless I was departing from a Canadian city.

FYI, however, he says the deal is legit and doesn't seem like (on his end anyway) there is any thought of canceling bookings. Seems like they're just trying to do damage control by nipping the damage in the bud if at all possible.
In addition to my husband's lack of vouchers, his confirmation codes were not working with United- they had me booked for two flights a piece and him for zero. After a bit of sleuthing work I was able to prove that despite their accusations, I did enter his information into the system, and now his original confirmation codes are back up. Pay close attention to everything in those emails and confirm everything!
