I think the problem is this. If the trip total is less than $300 it should be $0 however it is not working out like that, for example these are my charges:
11/23/2010 11/23/2010 Fee FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE(Other)
$7.44
11/21/2010 11/21/2010 Refund FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE(Other)
$-7.39
11/20/2010 11/21/2010 Return EXPEDIA*TRAVEL(Travel)
$-246.45
11/19/2010 11/23/2010 Sale Airline(Travel)
$248.29
so this mean I end up paying about $2. But if my total was less than $300 I should be refunded an equal amount that I was charged.
11/23/2010 11/23/2010 Fee FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE(Other)
$7.44
11/21/2010 11/21/2010 Refund FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE(Other)
$-7.39
11/20/2010 11/21/2010 Return EXPEDIA*TRAVEL(Travel)
$-246.45
11/19/2010 11/23/2010 Sale Airline(Travel)
$248.29

Are you really serious about the $2 you have to pay?

I don't recall "buying" this option. Anyone else receive this? Does this mean I get a free shuttle ride, once I receive my Expedia voucher?

Hmm, first timer to Vegas? The Four Seasons is the top two (?) levels at Mandalay Bay. Just valet park there. About the only place that charges for parking in Vegas is self parking downtown. Valet parking at malls might have a fee as well but other than that valet parking is free at every casino.

SFO777 Maybe you missed this default check off after the hotel booking screen. You were offered several transportation options but the shuttle already had a check mark in it's box for $12.50 additional. You likely forgot to remove it.

Yup, didn't even see that one. With the $0.00 price, I wasn't really paying attention to that part of the booking process. Thanks.

Taxi or rent a car?
I have 5 trips all at different hotels (CLD-LAS) 12/8 - 12/14 with a "day off"
on Saturday night back home. I have four free trips and one I accidentally paid for....I needed the segments anyway. So for 5 Taxi R/T to hotel/back to airport, it comes out to $18 per one way including 20% tip x 10 = $180.
Rental car is $121 (for the week) + parking at the airport is $8 per day (actually probably 1/2 day) when I am traveling "away" (going home and coming back), then add gas...and is less convenient with self parking at the hotel, picking up/dropping off car rental, than doing a convenient cab. However, by renting a car, I could check in a bag, vs changing clothes out at my car in CLD (with clothes for the full week, liquids and wine carrier box for wine and other drinks.), then leave my bag in car while flying home and back. If I do the 12 case wine carrier...I could do a full bar.....Party at my room!
Anyway, anyone else thinking of doing a car rental over multiple stays VS taxi (10 in my case)?
I'm still leaning towards the taxi.
P.S., I bought these on Saturday, and received my refunds/payments today.
Thank you OP!
Thank you Flyer Talk!
Also Thanks to Expedia.....they are loosing less money than you think...stuff like this comes out of promo budgets...our distribution company could do stuff like this, making things seem free). Also, because Expedia was nice about it, by honoring their mistake (so far) (plus airline fares where I am earning the miles/segments), I am much more likely to use Expedia now. And vegas will get my gambling money...5 cent slots totaling a buck or two...I'm such a high roller.
Although I probably won't have time to donate a turkey...I will be sure to do something to help over the x-mas holiday.
Sorry for the rambling!

As others have noted, you can arrange a shuttle on day of arrival, OR if you are making arrangements for others and like to have everything prearranged, go to XP and look the activities tab and radio button for Las Vegas. In the ground transportation category, the Shared Roundtrip Transportation voucher may be purchased for $12/pp = $6 each way. Yes, this can be done as a separate booking now. Enjoy...
