Seems this deal is still being honored? From the original post I got the impression that this was a very limited time offer yet it seems people are still using it for travel this year?? I tried applying the code to a booking for early 2011 and it wouldn't go...don't suppose these codes are retroactive should another one come along after my booking is made?? 
I wish!!
I wish!!

Thank you for pointing out the obvious instead of putting an extra minute into your post by adding a less obnoxious explanation
Clearly my query was based on people continuing to post about their success with the promo code long after it supposedly expired.
As I've got better things to do with my life than spend countless hours on FT posting obnoxious replies to people's questions I suppose I must have missed the obvious fact that the offer was no longer in operation.
Time to spend some quality time outside...

And fyi, people are now posting reports of their actual trips, and whether the refund posted or not - but nobody's actually booked a trip with the coupon since a week ago today.

I have one booked for Dec.7, I wont be using. It was $0 ($299.59), so I am wondering if I should let it go, or change the flights for $150 and still have $128ish UA credit ...
UA is willing to take over the ticket, but I dont want to be charged back the discount from Expedia.

I should have explained to you since I see you just joined - The flyertalk mods do not post FARE GONE unless the fare is well and truly gone. There were at least 10 times in the thread it was pronounced "dead"
when it wasnt - but the mods did not posst FARE GONE. If you see that in a heading here on FT you can be sure it is true

Why do you people want to pay $150 for a $128 credit? You are losing $22 here people. Throw the ticket away and start fresh. The only reason would be paying $150 for a credit greater than that to make it to your advantage. If not let it die a peaceful death.

Unless you have to pay $150 cash (I've never done this) - then you'd have $278 of airfare for $150.
Still a net of $128, but you'd have the $150 outlay...

Not really, if you got $278 of airfare free, and they "take" $150 for the change fee, you still have $128 of credit for free...

Right here is the math for a regular booking
Original price paid: $278
Change fee: $150
New ticket (inlcuding previous fare credit): $400
total paid for ticket: $550
now take away the refund from Expedia
actual total paid for new ticket = $400 price + $150fee - $278 expedia discount= $272
$272<$400

Has anyone got charged by Expedia for the hotel? Like many others, I got charged and refunded by Expedia for the airfare part a while ago. However, I never saw any charge (posted or pending) for the hotel.

There should be no separate hotel charge from Expedia unless your package total far exceeded the $300 discount. Most people actual got a refund from Expedia to cover the cost of the airfare (charged separately by the airline).
