STAY AWAY FROM EXPEDIA!!

[cowcowcafe]

So I purchased a group buy discount for the first time ever, it was the Expedia Hotel Card from Snuggies.com.
The Deal: $25 for $50 use to book any hotel on the expedia network.

So i went through expedia before i buy the card to check out the hotel price that i was gonna reserve in comparison to the hotel's own price, and found that expedia price is cheaper by $15, so im thinkin DEAL!

AFTER, the hotel card was send to me, and i start making reservations, ALL THE HOTEL PRICES on that hotelcard network was jacked up by 10-20%, for the hotel i initially wanted to use the deal on, it is now $30 more than the hotel's site!!!!

HOWEVER, there is a Price GURRANTEED FORM on thehotelcard page for price match, then i send in the form, NO REPLY FOR TWO DAYS!! i called in, and they WONT PRICE MATCH, because they said i applied a $25 DISCOUNT already!!

IN CONCLUSION, not only i DID NOT get a deal from the group buy, it end up COST MORE, and expedia and snuggies.com has such BAD BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE scamming customer money. ALSO, DONT BOOK ANY THING WITH EXPEDIA, it is at least 15% more pricier than other websites!!!!

I've never had problems with expedia. I always use them to price check against two or three other sites though (and often check directly with airlines and hotels to see if I get better deals booking separately).

It's a buyer's responsibility to do their research after all.
