Hopefully collectively everyone that did this can confirm it...I should have just booked a night at the same hotel, but was too cheap! *sigh*

I believe someone has already posted this on the thread maybe 75 pages back but it says on expedias.ca's site that there is no penalty for not using the hotel. The only penalty is if you CANCEL the hotel.

Just noticed that I never thanked the OP for posting the deal.
Speaking of which (off topic) how come FT doesn't have a thank you button? Would probably save posting space.

I think the idea that a Canadian government tourism fund gave a Canadian travel agency Canadian tax dollars to send Canadian citizens to *non-Canadian tourist locations* says a lot more about people's desire to rationalize their crime than it does about Expedia.ca's voucher rationale.
Why not turn us all in and claim a big reward?

Very true. US is the only country that prescription drugs are priced so high because the big pharmas all cry about they need the money to do R&D therefore the drugs cannot be sold cheap - yet, the Canadians and the British to name just 2 examples, pay only a fraction of the price we pay because their governments regulate the prescription drug prices with the pharma. India on the other hand, simply flat out manufacture their generics without even bother with patents or whatnot...
I am not too sure I would like to be in Canadian's health care system though after witnessing some real life examples of care relatives received - before and after a surgery versus the exact same surgery my husband had...

I did not ask Expedia to release. I asked UA to take over it and it was fine with them. I believe there was a fee but forgot if the agent had charged it or not. I know CO would definitely charge $20 or $25 to "take over" the ressie. The fee even showed up on the receipt called Agency Fee.

Many of us on CNZ did exactly the same thing, no fee. All it took was asking UA to take control of it (as you said) - Expedia was not involved (on the customer side).

I make it a habit of telling everyone I know never to set foot in the USA without emergency medical insurance with FLYHOME coverage. I wouldn't let those asshats touch me if I could make it back to Canada where the doctors care about people more than lining their own pockets. But then again, its LV, morality leaves the door when you land

I still haven't got any refund from expedia although in the payment history it said the refund was done. Hope there's no problem.
Another question is, I booked a 5 star hotel in Las Vegas (Trump Hotel) and they charge me almost $20 per night. I called the hotel staff today and asked if it's possible to waive this fee, they said this fee is mandatory. Has anyone tried to waive the fee successfully??

Only cards have 3% FTF would have a refund of FTF on the credit because it automatically assumes the initial debit is a foreign transaction.

FYI, Bellagio and Wynn both are $20. Venetian is $17. A few others I looked, ranging from 13 to 17... There are no resort fee properties you can book as well... It is not like you dont have an option...
