Why did you not book directly with the hotel? Why did you not book directly with the hotel? Expedia advertised the 'guaranteed cheapest rate' ... it did not occur to me that they would jack up the standard advertised rate by 30%. So you called Expedia within 24 hrs of your booking? "It’s simple! Expedia guarantees you’re getting the best price. If you should find a better price online for the same trip within 24 hours, Expedia will refund the difference—and give you a travel coupon worth $50. " |
