Expedia One Key® is designed to help travelers save on today’s trip and earn toward the next one. The free program combines instant discounts through Member Prices, OneKeyCash® rewards and tier-based benefits across eligible Expedia® bookings. 

Here are 10 ways members can make the most of it. 

1. Join for free and start saving right away with Member Prices 

Becoming an Expedia One Key member is completely free. Once travelers sign up, they can save instantly with Member Prices — 10% or more on eligible hotels, vacation rentals and car rentals — and start earning rewards toward their next booking.  

2. Earn OneKeyCash toward future trips 

Members earn rewards in the form of OneKeyCash on eligible bookings across hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, activities, cruises and packages. One dollar in OneKeyCash equals one dollar toward eligible future travel, and there are no blackout dates.  

Travelers can redeem some or all their OneKeyCash at checkout, and it doesn’t expire as long as an eligible booking is made at least once within 18 months. 

3. Get free lounge access for delayed flights 

When an eligible flight is delayed by 90 minutes or more, Gold and Platinum One Key members can receive complimentary access to an airport lounge. The benefit covers up to nine members, providing access to a lounge pass they can use within 30 days, or $20 in OneKeyCash. 

4. Get access to special partner pricing on a  CLEAR+ Membership and CLEAR Concierge bookings 

Through the CLEAR partnership, U.S. One Key members have access to tier-based discounts on CLEAR+ and CLEAR Concierge, helping travelers move through security faster at more than 60 U.S. airports using secure identity verification.  

CLEAR Concierge provides a dedicated Ambassador to help guide travelers from the curb to their gate when they need an extra set of hands at the airport. 

Through Expedia: 

• Platinum members: CLEAR+ annual Membership for $129. A Membership plus two CLEAR Concierge Departure Service bookings for $199. 

• Gold and Silver members: CLEAR+ annual Membership for $179. A Membership plus two CLEAR Concierge Departure Service bookings for $249. 

• Blue members: CLEAR+ annual Membership for $209. 

• Silver, Gold and Platinum members: 20% off additional CLEAR Concierge Departure Service bookings. 

5. Get protection if a flight price drops after booking 

With Price Drop Protection, if the price of an eligible booked flight booked in the Expedia app drops before departure, Expedia automatically provides the fare difference in OneKeyCash. Price Drop Protection is available to Gold and Platinum members on select flights for free on the Expedia app. 

6. Watch flight prices with automatic alerts 

Price Tracking is available to members at every tier on Expedia. Travelers can watch a flight or route and receive automatic alerts when prices change, making it easier to keep an eye on fares before booking. 

7. Move up member tiers by booking more parts of your trip 

Members can move up tiers by collecting Trip Elements such as hotel nights, vacation rental nights, car rental days, activity tickets, cruise nights and flight bookings. Because different parts of the same trip can count, travelers can make progress by booking more of their journey with Expedia. 

For example, two hotel nights plus a three-day car rental gets you five Trip Elements, meaning a weekend escape is all it takes to unlock Silver. 

Trip Elements include:  

• 1 air ticket (one way or roundtrip)  

• 1 hotel room night (each night counts as an element)  

• 1 night in a vacation rental  

• 1 day car rental  

• 1 roundtrip ground transportation ticket (airport shuttles, transfers, etc.)  

• 1 activity ticket (a private tour, a theme park ticket, etc.) 

8. Unlock bigger discounts as your tier rises 

Higher tiers can mean more savings and perks on Expedia. 

• Blue: Members save 10% or more 

• Silver: Members save 15% or more 

• Gold: Members save 20% or more 

• Platinum: Members save 20% or more 

9. Earn more and enjoy perks at eligible VIP Access properties 

Members earn more OneKeyCash when booking VIP Access properties — a collection of hotels that consistently receive top reviews from travelers. Silver members earn 3x more OneKeyCash, Gold members earn 4x, and Platinum members earn up to 6x faster.  

VIP Access properties also offer perks to members, including complimentary breakfast, food and beverage credits or free parking. Gold and Platinum members can receive room upgrades when available. 

10. Earn and redeem rewards flexibly 

One of the best parts of Expedia’s One Key loyalty program is the ability to earn and redeem OneKeyCash across multiple parts of the trip, from hotels and vacation rentals to cruises and car rentals. Rewards are easy to use, with no blackout dates or redemption limits.
