Has anyone actually called Expedia to confirm their bookings????
or are we all just waiting to see if it'll be honored?
I'm charged the flight on my credit card and no credit yet......what now?
The code saids starts in an hour?
Should I cancel this booking and book again?
Any insights???

you are experiencing stages of a mistake fare:
4. Glee and happiness - Paper tickets in hand, vacation request submitted, spouses finally informed, hotel reservations made and bragging to friends and co-workers begins. Both novices and experts get very excited.
5. Stress Stage 2 - Rumors of fare not being honored, discussion threads about the airline and ticketing agency ensue. Rumors crop up like crabgrass at this stage. Many FTers begin to worry excessively about whether or not the trip will happen. Novices make non-refundable and financial committments to their trip. Seasoned FTers make mixed drinks (and maybe a sandwich) and is patient.
just sit back, relax, dont book anything you cant refund later in case its cancelled, and let it play out. Calling just draws attention.

So if we cancel the airline ticket through the airline before the 24hr grace period is over, would we still get the refund from expedia?
I'm tempted to try it on one of my tickets.

Just booked a one-day LAS trip. I'll have to leave work early and come in late the next day, but I do have time to check in, have a burger at Hard Rock Cafe, rest a bit in my hotel room, then head back to LAS for the red-eye. 3.5 hours in LAS.

All you need to really do is find a way to quietly drop the flights so you can then reuse the value for later tickets.

Booked again. I thought someone said it had to be $300 or more. So I was running around trying to get it to be as close to $300 yet a little over. But then I was only able to get one to $298.50 before going way over. I decided to give it a shot. Works, it's up to $300 so it took off $298.50. I wish I had known that before instead of wasting money on crap I didn't need.
