I scored 5/10 though note the BA $20 WT+ isn't on the list, likely because the size of FT 8 or so years ago was much, much smaller than it is today. Still an interesting list.

go to Paymnet Summary......it will show payment and then refund...print everything.
I actually print all pages to Adobe pdf and Save the files. I have it all backed up.
If they cancel me, I will dispute charge and send all to CC company.

This is exactly it, FT is much larger today.
By the time the last post is typed in this thread, I wouldnt be surprised to see it at #1.

The list was by amount of posts.

The $20 BA deal is one of things that got me hooked on FT. Ahhh, the memories. Booked about 10 tickets for myself and family/friends. Put all the miles into a family account. Test drove a few Jaguars. Used all the miles for a few F tickets to ATH. Good times!

I also got a few of those friends hooked on FT after we went to MAD for dinner.

Trying to get a car along with the flight+hotel to LAS. But for some reason expedia is only giving me an option to go with Hertz. I dont see an option to select any other rental company. When I click the link to "select another vendor or car type", it just lists Hertz on that page with different car types.

Anyone else face this or knows the solution to select a cheaper car rental?

With La Guardia, tried DAB-CLT-LGA and Clarion LGA and it is not liking the code. But with the Upper Manhattan Hostel it works (same flights).

Coming off a preexisting mileage run to Madrid from RDU on Dec 4-7, I have booked four RDU-LAS trips for $160 through Dec 11. $160 for ~64K RDM. Unfortunately, this will leave me short of qualifying for EXP, so I'll have to do another run to LAX at $280 the following day. I may or may not actually go through with this insanity. Don't know how my boss will take this .

I also booked an additional leisure trip to Las Vegas the following week , though I don't know if I'll ever want to sit on a plane again.

I booked my first trip to NYC with this voucher in the wee hours of the morning today as a roundtrip on Continental and 1 night hotel (with an AMEX card), and it shows in the itinerary payment history on Expedia as $180 ish charge to Continental Airlines, along with a $150 ish credit from Expedia for the promo. I booked my 2nd trip (with a VISA card) at around 5:15pm Eastern time today, this time with a JetBlue flight and 1 night hotel, and the total cost came to about $320 before the voucher discount, so it was $20 after the voucher. In the payment history for this itinerary it only shows the $20 charged, nothing additional for the airline. I'm wondering if the payments/credits are done differently with JetBlue on Expedia than with other airlines?

Now that I notice, the first confirmation contained the following note. The 2nd one did not:
Note: The flight portion of your vacation package is charged directly by the airline. This will result in you receiving a separate credit card charge for the flight, but the total charges on your credit card will be equal to the vacation package price.

Exclamation

Please help!!!
I booked a 3 day trip from Orlando to New York for my family of 4, but the 1st night we only have 2 beds in a "dormitory room" at the Broadway Hotel and Hostel, and 2nd night we have only 1 bed. I thought I was booking for a room instead a bed.

So.......
1) could anyone help me find a deal on hotel for 4 ppl for 2 nights ? I don't think me and my dad can fit in the tiny dorm bed.
2) for the 3rd night, reservation is based on 1 traveler and I assume 2 customers a room is fine. But how about 4? there are 2 beds in the room and I'm sure we can't afford an extra room in the Ritz Carlton (expedia quoted $900/night :lol: )

Thanks for reading

Is it possible to do this if you checked out as a guest? I registered after my purchase, but cannot find any information in my account regarding the transaction. Thanks.

Expedia.ca had $90 per day for an economy car. Checked hotwire, $20/day. I needed a car for 4 days but it was not worth 4 more packages with one day of car tagged along for "free" while we throw away flight and yet another hotel booking.

It would be kind of awkward to be in a hostel with your dad since you would be sharing it with 2-6 other people. Usually, hostels are for younger folks. You could call the hostel and ask them to upgrade you two to a double.

Yeah, you should be fine... Worst case, you can just simply SDC your LAS-XYZ.

Your home airport a top secret?

Last time I was in Vegas, I made $1800 off of blackjack... I think I will spare the casinos this time
