Expedia offers price rebates based on the difference between its competitor’s lowest priced option and the purchase price. Expedia.com also offers a $50 coupon plus refund when the customer reports a verified price difference within 24 hours of booking.

What is Price Match?

Price match is a retail phenomenon that allows customers to obtain rebates on goods or services they’ve already paid for when they show proof of a competitor offering the same services at a lower price within the time specified.

Expedia’s “price match promise” allows customers to receive a $50 coupon plus a refund when they report a verified price difference within 24 hours of booking. This guarantee is highly dependable, and is available for the exact services including itinerary, hotels, cruises, and car rentals.

The rebate is available for bookings made through Expedia. The rebate is based on a fluctuating fee pegged on the original pricing of the booking.
