Thanks for the tip! Just booked my first mileage run from WAS-LAS for $0. Can't beat that :-)

booked 5 trips anyways

What do you mean? Expedia cancels them? How can they do that if you received a confirmation already?

They can cancel them because the T&C says canadian bookings only

Of course not.

SFO is <$25 on p.s.

Btw, I see a pending charge on my AMEX for the exact amount that expedia is quoting BEFORE the coupon, even though expedia.com shows a 0 total on the confirmation page.

Should I be worried?

EDITED. When I went to my expedia itinerary I see this:
Note: The flight portion of your vacation package is charged directly by the airline. This will result in you receiving a separate credit card charge for the flight, but the total charges on your credit card will be equal to the vacation package price.

And when I clicked on my payment history, I see my credit card being charged, but there's another separate refund in the same amount.

I guess I will get hit with the 2.7% transaction fee...so about $5 :D

You mean to say it applies for SFO?

Edit: My screen capture of the confirmation page has a message that 2 charges may show up. One for the full booking, and then a 2nd one as a credit for the voucher.

If you depart SFO for NYC, LAS, or CUN.

According to the Expedia website, it says you may be charged the full amount and then receive a credit up to the $300 as a separate transaction.

I would not be too worried, yet.
