The nitty-gritty details for this rewards program are below!


  • About
  • Earn Points
  • Manage Your Account
  • Using Points
  • How do I earn ThankYou Points on Expedia?
  • You’ll earn one point per dollar spent for hotels, vacation packages, activities totaling $50+, and cruises. To earn points on flights, you need to add a hotel or an activity of $50+ to your itinerary.
  • What travel items don’t qualify for ThankYou Points?
  • Standalone flight and car itineraries don’t qualify for ThankYou Points
    from Expedia.

    You’ll accrue points for the travel items where Expedia provides the most value to travelers—hotels, vacation packages, activities totally $50 or more, and cruises.
  • How can I earn points on my flight?
  • You can earn points for your flight by adding a hotel or an activity of $50+ to your itinerary. That’s all it takes to earn points on both of your bookings!
  • Did I earn points from Expedia on my last trip?
  • If your ThankYou Member Account number was in your Expedia itinerary when you made a qualifying booking—hotels, vacation packages, cruises, activities totaling $50+—you earned ThankYou Points for your travel. Or, if you added your number any time before your travel was completed, you would have
    earned points.

    Please keep in mind that it takes four to twelve weeks after the completion of travel for the points to appear in your ThankYou Member Account.
  • How do I see the number of ThankYou Points I can earn for a trip?
  • If you have a ThankYou Member Account number stored in your Expedia account, the number of ThankYou Points a trip can earn is displayed on the “Billing and Delivery” page prior to booking, as well as on the confirmation page and
    your itinerary.

    If you don't have a ThankYou Member Account number stored in your Expedia account, you won't see the number of ThankYou Points you can earn until the booking has been completed. At that point, in order to receive the points, you'll have to manually add a ThankYou Member Account number to your itinerary before the trip begins. You can do this via the “My Itineraries” page.
  • How can I maximize the number of ThankYou Points I get for a booking?
  • You can earn extra points by booking two or more different types of qualified travel items on the same itinerary. Here are the bookings that qualify: hotels, vacation packages, activities totaling $50+, and cruises.
  • Can I earn points when I book travel for someone else?
  • Yes. Earning is associated with an Expedia account, rather than a person. So, you can earn points for booking travel for other people, even when you don’t travel with them.
  • Where else can I earn points?
  • There are several ways to earn ThankYou Points beyond booking travel
    on Expedia:
    • Watch your ThankYou Points multiply with a Citi PremierPass® / Expedia® World MasterCard® card. With this card, each purchase you make is eligible for ThankYou Points—and qualified bookings on Expedia can earn you up to 3 points per $1 spent.
    • Earn points for purchases made through the ThankYou Bonus Center, which includes hundreds of retailers including Target and drugstore.com.
    • Earn points via a sponsor account, such as a participating Citi® credit card, an enrolled Smith Barney financial management account (FMA) with an activated FMA card, or an eligible Citibank® checking account with a linked debit card.
    • Get bonus points through special promotions on both Expedia and ThankYou.com.
    • Purchase ThankYou Points in increments of 1,000 points for $25—up to a maximum of the total points available to you for redemption. You may purchase a maximum of 100,000 points per calendar year.
  • Is there a limit to the number of ThankYou Points I can earn on Expedia?
  • Although there is no limit to the number of points you can earn on Expedia, this may not be the case with other ThankYou Network sponsors. We recommend carefully reviewing the specific terms and conditions that you receive in your other sponsor account materials.
  • How does ThankYou Network work with my frequent flier program?
  • You’ll continue to accrue miles in any airline loyalty program that you’re enrolled in, in addition to earning ThankYou Points when you book qualifying travel. Your frequent flier program enrollment is unaffected by participation in
    ThankYou Network.
  • Do my points expire?
  • As of 11/22/2009, new ThankYou Points earned through Expedia will expire five years from the end of the calendar month in which they are earned. Accordingly, only points earned prior to 11/22/2009 will not expire as long as there is qualifying purchase activity through Expedia or redemption activity through ThankYou Network at least once every three calendar years. To learn more about your ThankYou Point expiration status, please visit www.thankyou.com and view your ThankYou Member Points Summary online.
  • How do I add a ThankYou Member Account number to a trip that I am about
    to book?
  • As long as you have your ThankYou Member Account number already stored in your Expedia account profile, it's added automatically. You'll also have an opportunity to enter your 16-digit ThankYou Member Account number prior to completing the booking.
  • Once I've added my ThankYou Member Account number, will the number be automatically applied to trips I booked previously?
  • No. But you can add a ThankYou Member Account number manually to any itinerary that has not yet been completed by accessing it from your “My Itineraries” page. Remember, the ThankYou Member Account added must belong to one of the following: the traveler(s) listed on the itinerary, the primary credit-card holder, or the Expedia account holder.
  • Can ThankYou Points be earned by multiple travelers on the same itinerary?
  • No. Only one ThankYou Member Account may earn points for a single itinerary, regardless of the number of travelers.
  • What happens when I activate my ThankYou Member Account on ThankYou.com?
  • Once you’ve joined ThankYou Network on Expedia, you need to activate your ThankYou Member Account on www.thankyou.com. This important step allows you to:
    • Check your point balance
    • Earn points for purchases made through the ThankYou Bonus Center, which includes hundreds of retailers including Target and drugstore.com.

    • Redeem your ThankYou Points for great rewards
    • Pool your points from multiple sponsor accounts
    Remember, you can’t redeem your points for rewards until you’ve activated your ThankYou Member Account!
  • What are my rewards options?
  • In addition to travel, ThankYou Network offers a millions of rewards, including gift cards, home electronics, jewelry, and entertainment options. You can even redeem your points for charity donations or cash, and some items are available for as little as 1,000 points.

  • How do I redeem my ThankYou Points?
  • Once you have your ThankYou Member Account number and you’ve activated your ThankYou Member Account, you can sign in to ThankYou Network site. Once there, click on the “Rewards” tab to redeem your points online for great rewards and experiences.
  • Can I book travel on Expedia with my ThankYou Points?
  • No, ThankYou Points cannot be used directly on Expedia. However, they can be redeemed for Expedia travel offered on ThankYou Network. Visit www.thankyou.com for more information.
  • How do I redeem my points for travel?
  • Travel offerings from Expedia are converted into a corresponding point value—typically at 100 points per dollar—and are available from ThankYou Network either online at thankyou.com or through the ThankYou Service Center.
  • Can I redeem my points for cash?
  • Yes. Among other rewards, you can redeem for cash. Please visit the ThankYou Network Web site for more information on all your rewards options.
