Amazing Offer (Error)...
I will be in the states for the next two weeks. Unfortunately I booked (non-refundable) Hotels in Vegas, a Rental Car etc...
Was able to price out a $0 2 day trip from LAS to NYC, that would gain 8900mls... Soo tempted...
On the other hand: My GF doesn't want to spend all our vacation on airports and I do feel uncertain about this anyway. XP has to (try to) charge ineligible (ex. US and other) customers, otherwise the cost will certainly go into multi millions...
Good Luck to all fellow FTers using this promo.

Expedia's packages require upfront payment. If you don't show for flight or hotel, you will not get a refund and you will also miss out on any miles or hotel nights/stays (if eligible).

You've paid for it. What can happen? US airways is not going to call Luxor to check and report. On flight, if you don't show up for the first flight, all remaining segments will probably get cancelled. Hotels, pretty sure they are used to no-shows.

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.

Sorry, I could not help but laugh 
Pretty funny story!Anyhow, ditch the hotel and book a different hotel... Do a dry run over at hotels.com and see what options are available.

Yes, I bet the management of these uber cheap hotels is going to be quite happy (or quite disappointed if Expedia cancels the deals) when they check their calendar and see they're fully booked for the next 1.5 months and that probably a good 50% of the booking's wont' actually check in so no room cleaning, etc.

If you don't show up, you loose whatever you had booked paying whatever you did out of pocket. For most of us, that was pretty close to $0.

Is this deal still valid when booking from a US city??
I read a post that the deal is not dead...but i'm still getting the error message when putting "save300" in...and i'm signed in as a guest.
Anyone know how to get this to work still? This little lady needs to win some big bucks in Sin City before 2011!
Also-what was the BA deal? Read so many people writing about it...what happened with that?

You (and Expedia
) have already paid for the whole thing. You can no-show any portion you like. Do remember though, flights are meant to be taken in the order they're booked (i.e. BUF-ORD-LAS if you don't take BUF-ORD, your ORD-LAS is canceled automatically) so the legacy airline rules do apply to the air tix portion, just like any other tix.

Hotels: At least on all my bookings, the T&Cs stated that "you can cancel the hotel without affecting the other portions of your itinerary" or something similar.
