Expedia Rewards is a more rewarding way to travel when you create an Account with Expedia. It is a free program available to Expedia customers that gives members lower prices on select hotels with Member Prices, points for savings on future eligible bookings, and more perks when you travel. We’re making some changes from February 01, 2022 to the program. You can read more about some of the key changes here.
To begin earning Expedia Rewards points, create a new account or sign in to your existing account before you book.
Note: Silver members benefit from 1 bonus point per $1 spent and Gold members from 2 bonus points per $1 spent for these booking types.
Hot tip for bonus points: Book on our mobile app and earn double points! Book a VIP Access stay and earn triple the points.**
*Points can't be earned or redeemed on insurance, selected packages, or flights booked directly via an airline's website, even if your original flight search was conducted on expedia.com. See Expedia Rewards Terms and Conditions for full details.
** Bonus point offers are calculated on the base points earned for an eligible booking only and are not calculated on any bonus points earned for being Silver or Gold members, or otherwise.

*Bonus Points are earned in addition to your base points.
You've racked up points and want to use them – here's how that works:
* Bonus point offers are calculated on the base points earned for an eligible booking only and are not calculated on any bonus points earned for being Silver or Gold members, or otherwise.
You can also redeem your points for a Flight + Hotel package coupon online in various increments (up to $300). The coupons can only be applied to eligible Pay Now package bookings made online (“Reward Coupon”). Reward Coupons will be deposited in your Expedia Rewards account for future use. Once you have chosen your hotel and flight, select ‘Use a coupon, credit, or promotion code’ on the checkout page, and then select the Reward Coupon you wish to apply to your booking.
You're booking travel, earning points, and on your way to saving cash – great news! If you want to view your balance or find out what to do if you think points might be missing, you're in the right place.
Does your points balance seem off? Let's dig into that. First, know that there's a wait time between when you finish travelling and when your points show up in your Account Activity.
Here's when you should usually see your points:

Expedia Rewards has 3 membership tiers:
You might be wondering, ‘what is a Trip Element?’
Whether you’re booking an eligible flight, a night stay, an activity, or even car rental, it can all count as a Trip Element and can help you progress towards your next Expedia Rewards tier.
A “Trip Element” is calculated in the following way for eligible bookings:
Here’s some examples of how it can work:
Your tier is valid from the day it is earned, for the following full calendar year, and expires on February 28 of the following year. For example, the tier reached in 2022 is valid from the day you earn it until February 28, 2024.
