so far I have a 99.14 expedia credit and a small credit for foreign transaction fee. All this after being told on the phone I would receive C$180 credit from the airline cancellation. No charges so far.
I dont understand any of it...and their Customer service is the worst I have seen since Sprint in early 2000s.

What we are really interested in is if there's any (adverse) action from expedia.

I STILL haven't been refunded the $300 credit.
Has anyone else still not been refunded the $300 coupon credit to their cerdit card?
Also, for those of you who have received this credit, was it confirmed in any emails to you, or did it just appear on your credit card statement?
I have screenshots, but the EMAIL I got, and also the expedia "View My Itineraries" page both say:
With no mention of the SAVE300 code.
So, does anyone have details of the SAVE300 code coming up in their inboxes or on the "View my Itineraries" on expedia.ca?

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...

What i really don't understand is why Expedia would not encourage people who are not planning to actually use the hotel/land content to cancel them. The money is gone as far as Expedia is concerned. If we cancel the flights we get a small airline credit and Expedia gets nothing but it loses nothing either. If we cancel the hotel, the credit goes back to Expedia and the amount of the free credit that they have given us decreases.
I've got 2 nights booked at Hooters at a cost of about $40 . I sure as hell won't be staying there when I've got very generous free offers at Bellagio and the MGM Grand. I'm quite happy to let Expedia claw back the $40 - I don't want to screw them more than is necessary/in my interest. But for them to be bandying about that any alteration/cancellation will invalidate the coupon just encourages me to no show. the hotel will charge Expedia the $40 bucks that they could have gotten back.

All speculation but bottom line, we don't know how X.ca funded the coupon...

Because what we don't know is what compensation they picked up on the back-end. Maybe LAS tourism board gave them $100 per booking; Perhaps they needed to sell Xmillion tickets on airlines for contractual reasons, etc. If they cancel, nobody knows what that does to them (maybe they lose the funding from tourism boards, maybe they don't hit a contractual obligation).

If selling many more free packages than they wanted to which we can surmise from the fact that they pulled the deal early after trying to limit the liability by tightening the terms and conditions is what was required for them to meet their sales quotas, then they are as bad at contract negotiation as they are at running restricted promotions.
Maybe they sold exactly what they wanted to, but they just did it in 30 hours instead of 3 days? The fact that they kept updating terms suggests they knew exactly what was going on and where they were the entire time...
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
On my way to vegas... Txs X.ca...

A = Charge by the airline on card
B = Expedia.com credit on my card
C = Expedia.com total package cost Airfare and Hotel (including taxes + fees)
D = $300 promo credit
If total package was over $300
A-B = C-D
If Total package was under $300
A=B

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!!

The promo was only good for travel up to 12/30/2010. You are looking at 2011 trip...
Even without the "Fare Gone" heading, you would know 2011 is not going to work...
I am amazed that after spending hours reading you still have 0 idea of the criteria of the deal and the fact the deal has long gone, and then blamed the first reply poster being obnoxious.
