App cancelled $3,000 reservation, no refund

By HurryUpRalph

I use Expedia pretty often, about once a month on average. I’m in a long-distance marriage because of my military deployment schedule. This month, my wife and I were finally going on our long overdue honeymoon (6 years), but the DoD has put out travel restrictions that would allow that to happen. So I went on the Expedia app to cancel/change my reservation. I managed to cancel my flights, but I didn’t cancel my hotel because there was no refund option or an option to change my reservation. At that point I was okay with just canceling my flight and contacting Expedia to see what I could do about my hotel reservation. But as get off the app and am about to make the call to Expedia, I receive multiple emails regarding my cancellations. To my surprise, the hotel was also cancelled. This was a $3,000 resort in Aruba. I proceed to call customer service, and waited on hold for over an hour, then the call just dropped out of nowhere. Luckily, I went online earlier to schedule Expedia customer service to call me. When they did, I could hardly communicate with the agent because it seemed as if English was not their native language. The agent proceeded to transfer me to another person to help then they hung up on me. I cannot afford another $3,000 for a vacation and now I cannot take my wife on the honeymoon I promised her. This will definitely be the last time I use Expedia or any of its sister companies.
Bug keeps choosing random dates

By SouthernGypsy

In the past this app has worked well but recently, I’m going back a couple of updates now over the past couple of months it’s head above where when you are on the road and you start to search for a motel it will randomly choose some date in the future instead of defaulting to the current days date for your check in time. Most people on the road which no doubt account for the largest Group of users need it to default to the current days date for the check-in date, not to some random date in the future. And even if people were looking for a room for the future what are the chances that the random date this app chooses is going to be the one you need, so it’s better to have it default to the current date for check-in and the following day for check out the way it used to. That’s much more convenient for the largest group of users. I’ve even changed the date to the current day and then head to choose a different town because the initial town I searched and didn’t have enough motels, find a room book it and then find out later the app and change the date to a random date in the future causing me then have to spend an hour calling Expedia: 3 service to get it straightened out. Please fix the app where it defaults to the current days date for check-in and the following days date for check out the way it has always done in the past.
Never again, Expedia

By NeverAgainExpedia

I have used Expedia for YEARS. This has always been my go-to service for hotels, flights, and cars. I was supposed to go to Atlanta for work and happily booked my plane tickets through Expedia as I always did. With the COVID crisis and travel restrictions, my trip to Atlanta needed to be canceled. For some reason I wasn’t able to cancel my flight online, and was instructed to call customer service. I did, and received a recording that because my travel was not in the next 72h they could not help me, and to call back when I was within that window. So I waited until Sunday, when I was finally in the 72h window. I was on hold for 3 hours, with no option for a call back, before being disconnected without speaking to anyone. I called back at 10pm Sunday night. I slept on and off, with my phone on speakerphone until I woke up at 5am, still on hold. I didn’t speak to a representative until 8am Monday morning- at that point I had been on hold for 10 HOURS. I explained the situation to the gentleman (named David) and asked that if we got disconnected to please call me back as I had been on hold all night. He confirmed my phone number and happily agreed. 1h and 15 minutes later, with absolutely no resolution, the call was disconnected. No. Call Back. 11h15m wasted. I called Delta, got an immediate response AND they refunded my ticket. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER USE EXPEDIA FOR ANYTHING ELSE AS LONG AS I LIVE DUE TO HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. NEVER AGAIN.
Have had a lots of improvements! But....

By :::::::::::

I like this app much better than I did before so thought it was worth updating my review. But have an issue with the layout that I hope they fix. I wish I could attach a screen cap here to demonstrate with an obvious visual. I’m on my iPad...and when I go to “pick a room”...the long skinny horizontal pic of the style of room appears, with a line above and below. And with the price and select button. The problem is, as you’re scrolling, it’s not clear AT ALL which pic and room name/style goes with which price, above it or below it. Because what’s in between the 2 horizontal lines/rules is...first a price/purchase button, then the picture below. But...apparently the the price goes with the picture above, not below...so the horizontal rules making you think that that’s setting off a block of info that goes together is very misleading. And the space between the price and pictures and price and picture, etc. as you scroll is the same! So there’s no definitive of which price goes with which pic/room style/size. This is just poor design layout and I hope they change it to make it a lot more obvious. Other than that, I like it for navigating easily compared to other travel apps and sites.
Terror flight

By tsm_ski

Me and my father bought our tickets $500 dollars and for return it was free next thing you know the cancelled my flight back so I called and they gaved me another flight closer they wanted to charge me for a return flight so I told them why would they charge me for something they cancelled they hanged up on me so I called them again but a different person answered so I told them the whole thing again. So they gaved me a flight a good flight but the thing was they the last flight to my destination was p.m so I was ok with that time. Now when we were at Washington my last flight they changed it at the last second and me and my father were freaking out on why would they do that so we were stuck at Washington tell we figured on what to do. So I called Expedia for a money return but the guy was falling asleep at the job real professional guys, so I was telling him why I wanted that so he told me “ok I’m going to call United for a refund so it’s going to take 7-8 minutes on the wait time so if the phone call hangs up is this number ok to call back” I said yes it is and guess what happened the call hanged up so supposedly he was going to call back but I guess he fell asleep on the job. So I called a taxi but what was the difference if it costed the same as a plane ticket $400 to Roanoke. So if you want to get ripped off and not get your money back then Expedia is the site. Oh yea I’m still waiting on that refund.
Horrible service

By Dajion B

I booked 3 flights through this company and spent 2 hours on the phone to do so. Then when I log on to the app it only shows two of the three flights I paid for . At that point I called customer service to see what is going on and they informed me that my information was sent to a different email address that they don’t have access to . Then I asked if they could go and change it to put my information so I don’t have to worry about my information being out there in the crazy cyber world that we are in today. Were people’s information is being stolen left and right . These people had the audacity to tell me that there is nothing ANYONE in their company can do for me so basically I just have to deal with my information being out there in someone’s email address that only God know who has access to and can do whatever they want with my information and I probably will not find out until it’s to late . this was all caused by a glitch in there system, so my real question is what other types of glitches are in there system that is sending there customer information around . How secure can this big company be if this is the case . How can you care for your customer if you have systems that “will not allow you to do so” I would never book another flight though this so called company !! This is just ridiculous!!
SCAM!! Be careful!!

By Maria2019-

I tried to make a reservation today for family vacations and when I tried to hit confirm after I put all my info I got a sign that says ERROR, so logically I tried again and I got the same message again. I did not get confirmation from Expedia or booking details of course. Then I see in my bank account 4 pending transactions from Them. I called the bank to tell them this was canceled and did not get any confirmation from Expedia but bank says is all approved on their end and as far as they know nothing is canceled and I’m being charged for that. To make story short, after 1 hour and 30 minutes in the phone with bank and Expedia I’m still being charged even Expedia supervisor says is canceled they are not able to give me a cancelation number or anything that I can show the bank as a proof of canceled transaction. They said may take 3-5 business day to get my money back, that means now I cannot book my vacations cause they are holding my money and I don’t have enough left on my credit card. Customer service is a shame, the money on hold is even more than the total amount of the trip when I asked how is this possible to supervisor couldn’t even tell me why. I will never book anything through Expedia again. They are a shame and taking people’s money even when it says error on the screen. SCAM!!!!!
Horrible customer service and ability to use credits

By Ella.njrealestate

I have used Expedia for years and always raves about how easy and reliable it is but lately everything about the app, service and customer service live abs virtual is horrible. I feel like it’s all a scam. I have multiple air credits due to Covid and have tried to redeem them. I get confirmations that my flight is booked and thank god I double check everything because all of the sudden my tickets are cancelled and my credits are missing. When I used virtual assist they pull up all these travel itineraries to other countries that I never reserved. When I speak to a live customer service rep they barely understand English. Tell me my credits don’t exist even though they were on my app and I have confirmation emails. Then they tell me to call the airline directly. Keep me on hold for an hour while they say they are reviewing my info. I call the airline directly and they say to contact Expedia because Expedia never sent my payment and credits. In addition they charged my credit cards for the overage cost. Still no credit for that. From now on I will book directly with the airline. Have had perfect service from them and my credits exist and easy to use. Expedia seems like crooks at this point. If it was just one time I would think it was a mistake but this happened 3 times.
Could be improved

By Corissa.stallings

I have loved Expedia since I started traveling on my own and the checkout process is always easy for me. Overall the app is decent and could use a few more features. For example when searching for an all inclusive on the website you can filter that option but in the app you must scroll through all hotels, motels and resorts. Also, I wish that you didn’t have to specifically search from one airport. The app states that it’s to help you find the best deal but to me the best deal would be found by checking all available airports that I am willing to travel to without having to research and put back in all of my filters every time. Also, they claim that it is cheaper to book through the app but I have always found that the better bundles are found on the website. It would also be nice if there was an “availability calendar” like on some other sights where you can see how much cheaper it would be to stay a different night. Another feature that would interest me is being able to search an entire country as your destination to try to find new and cool places to stay in a specific country.
I wouldn’t even give a star

By A14Aaaaaa

I have been traveling all day after reaching the hotel they told me there is no booking under my name! I contacted Expedia to solve my issue, unfortunately, they did the opposite by not giving me any solutions and telling me there was overbooking and the hotel cannot accept you, it is not the customer problem that your system is bad to show availability and there isn't ! I am expecting to reach the hotel and find my room ready not solving your problems. Not only I spoke with one agent But 4 agents all of them were uncooperative, rude, and they just put me on hold, then they hang up! I spent 2 and half hours on the phone which was an overseas call which coasted me a lot of money without any solution or at least offering anything for your mistake. I have been an Expedia customer for 5+ years with gold, silver, and blue membership but after what I have experienced this week this will be my last time using this platform, I am still waiting for my hotel refund which they told me I will collect within 2 days and now we reached the 6th day without any refund. Learn how to treat your customers not telling them there is nothing we can do to you! You have a problem with your system you solve it don't expect your customers to do it for you! Worst traveling experience ever and surely worst customer service!
