ShopBack US is a free Cashback app and website that launched in the US in May 2025. Sign in, open the ShopBack Expedia page, tap through to Expedia and book there, and part of what you spend comes back as cash you can withdraw to a US bank account or PayPal. Going through ShopBack is the step before you pay, and Cashback works like a discount code with no code to find or type in. The live rate for each booking type is shown on this page.

For US travelers booking Expedia in US dollars, the saving comes from three steps that work together: sign in to One Key so Member Prices show, pay with the card you normally use for travel, and go through ShopBack before you pay so part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. ShopBack US is one of the Cashback sites that work with Expedia: sign in, open this Expedia page, tap through and book hotels, flights or packages as normal. Apply Expedia's own coupons at checkout as usual. Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in: the current Cashback is shown on this page before you book, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: pick what you are booking, then book through ShopBack before you pay. Last-minute trips and all-inclusive packages to places like Cancun follow the same order: compare the package total, pick the rate type, then book through ShopBack.

Expedia US typically issues its own promo codes around headline US sale windows (Memorial Day in late May, Fourth of July in early July, Labor Day in early September, Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November, Travel Tuesday the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Post-Christmas and New Year through early January), newsletter signup, mobile app installs and bank partnership campaigns. Apply your code or card offer at checkout as usual. Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in: the current Cashback is shown on this page before you book, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: pick what you are booking, then book through ShopBack before you pay.

On Expedia in the US, sign in to your One Key account first so Member Prices show, and redeem OneKeyCash if you have it, then pay with the card you normally use for travel. The step before you pay is ShopBack: open the ShopBack Expedia page, tap through and book as normal, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Apply any Expedia coupon at checkout as usual. ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code: there's nothing to find or type in.

ShopBack US is a Cashback site that works with Expedia, so you can get Cashback on Expedia hotels, flights and packages through ShopBack. Sign in to ShopBack, open the Expedia page, tap through to Expedia and finish the booking there. Part of what you spend comes back as cash you can withdraw to your US bank account or PayPal, and the live rate for each booking type is shown on this page.

For US travelers, Expedia flight and hotel packages typically undercut the sum of two separate bookings on fixed-date domestic and short-haul leisure trips. The pattern holds strongest on Caribbean and Mexico beach itineraries (Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Punta Cana, Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas), on domestic sun destinations (Orlando, Las Vegas, Honolulu and the other Hawaiian islands), and on trans-Atlantic long-haul to London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona and Amsterdam where the total package value is largest. Sign in for One Key member prices before searching and activate ShopBack before clicking through to Expedia.

Cancun is one of the highest-volume short-haul international leisure destinations from US departure hubs (New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta), and Expedia flight and hotel packages on fixed-date Riviera Maya and Hotel Zone itineraries typically beat the sum of the standalone flight and standalone hotel. The strongest saving windows are Memorial Day for early-summer travel, Labor Day for late-summer trips, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for winter and next-year bookings, and shoulder-season dates (early May, September, early October) that avoid Spring Break and December to early January peak. Expedia offers One Key member prices and a VIP Access filter for all-inclusive properties. Go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Cabo San Lucas is a popular short-haul Pacific-Mexico destination from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas and Houston, and Expedia flight and hotel packages into Los Cabos International typically show the strongest savings on midweek fixed-date itineraries during Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday to Cyber Monday, and the April to May and September to October shoulder windows that avoid Spring Break and the December holiday peak. Package pricing tends to compress the flight and resort components on Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and Corridor properties. Expedia offers One Key member prices. Open Expedia from ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

For US travelers, Hawaii package savings on Expedia into Honolulu (Oahu), Kahului (Maui), Kona and Hilo (Big Island) and Lihue (Kauai) are most reliable in the late-April to early-June window (before summer school holidays), in late August to mid-October (after summer peak, before Thanksgiving), and in late January to early March (avoiding Christmas and Spring Break). Flight and hotel packages from West Coast hubs (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland) typically undercut the sum of two separate bookings on fixed-date leisure itineraries of five to ten nights. One Key member prices on VIP Access Waikiki, Wailea and Kaanapali properties can add a further saving. Start from the ShopBack Expedia page before you book, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Expedia generally has the deepest US inventory on Las Vegas across the Strip, Downtown, and off-Strip resorts, and Flight+Hotel packages from most US metros typically undercut the sum of a standalone flight and standalone Strip hotel on fixed-date weekend and midweek trips. The strongest saving windows are the January post-CES stretch, mid-week dates outside Super Bowl weekend and F1 weekend, and the Black Friday to Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday sale window for next-year bookings. Last-minute member prices often surface on near-dated Strip rooms inside the app. Sign in for One Key member prices and activate ShopBack before clicking through to Expedia.

Expedia US typically runs its deepest travel-sale stretch across Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving), with promo codes and flash discounts on flight and hotel packages, hotel-only stays, car rentals and activities weighted toward next-year travel. Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday often carry stronger travel-specific markdowns than Black Friday itself, since Black Friday leans retail. Apply the sale code at checkout as usual. Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in: the current Cashback is shown on this page before you book, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: pick what you are booking, then book through ShopBack before you pay.

Cyber Monday is the online-shopping capstone of the Thanksgiving stretch and typically carries the sitewide travel markdown on Expedia US across packages, near-dated hotels, car rentals and activities. Travel Tuesday, the day after Cyber Monday, has grown into the strongest single travel-sale day of the year with headline codes on Flight+Hotel bundles and hotel-only stays for spring and summer next-year travel. Expedia's sale codes and One Key member prices (visible after sign-in) apply as normal, and Cashback comes back on what you pay through ShopBack. Go through ShopBack before clicking through to Expedia, then complete the booking as normal.

One Key is Expedia's loyalty program, launched in July 2023 to replace Expedia Rewards and Hotels.com Rewards. Members earn OneKeyCash on eligible hotel, vacation rental, activity, package, car rental and cruise bookings at a rate set by booking type and tier (check Expedia's One Key page for the current rates), and typically a lower rate on eligible flights. Tiers are Blue (free signup), Silver (five trip elements a year), Gold (fifteen) and Platinum (thirty). OneKeyCash accrues to the account after travel and can be redeemed at checkout on future eligible bookings across Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo. One Key member prices are visible after sign-in, and you can go through ShopBack before you book at the member price. See current Expedia terms.

VIP Access is a curated set of hotels on Expedia and Hotels.com where One Key members with status earn a higher OneKeyCash rate and unlock member-only extras. Higher tiers add perks such as room upgrades when available, and Expedia lists the current OneKeyCash rate and perks for each tier on its One Key page. For US travelers booking premium stays in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe or Japan, filtering the hotel list for VIP Access properties before locking a booking is a straightforward way to lift the effective saving. Go through ShopBack before you book at the VIP Access rate.

For US travelers who book more than one trip a year, yes. Blue-tier signup is free and unlocks member prices on hotels and packages that are not visible to signed-out users, which alone often exceeds the OneKeyCash earn rate on a single booking. OneKeyCash then accumulates on eligible bookings and can offset a future stay, and status tiers unlock VIP Access uplifts on premium properties. If you rarely book travel or only book flights, the program is thinner since flight earn rates are lower. Sign-in is typically required to see the true booking price on hotels and packages regardless of tier.

All three OTAs sell into the US market at broadly similar list prices. Expedia's structural advantage is the single-cart Flight plus Hotel package builder and the Flight+Hotel+Car bundle used for road-trip and national-park loops, plus the One Key OneKeyCash program that unifies earn and burn across Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo. Booking.com typically leads on European and international hotel inventory depth and free-cancellation flexibility. Priceline typically leads on opaque-rate hotel deals (Express Deals) and near-dated Strip Vegas inventory. For US travelers deciding purely on price at a given moment, the more useful comparison is which OTA has an active site-wide sale, which one lists the specific hotel with the strongest current member price, and which one has the strongest current Cashback rate on ShopBack. Check the ShopBack pages for Expedia, Booking.com and Priceline before locking a booking. For a deeper look, see Booking.com vs Expedia vs Priceline: Which OTA Actually Delivers in 2026.

For US outbound and domestic leisure, the strongest saving windows on Expedia are Memorial Day (late May) for early-summer travel, Fourth of July (early July) for mid-summer, Labor Day (early September) for late-summer trips, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday (late November) for winter and next-year travel, and Post-Christmas through early January for Caribbean and ski destinations. Presidents' Day weekend in February also surfaces ski-season deals. For hotel-only stays, member prices on near-dated inventory are often richer inside four weeks of check-in. For fixed-date leisure trips into peak seasons (Hawaii summer, Cancun Spring Break, European summer, ski peak), booking three to four months out with One Key member prices and ShopBack as the step before you pay is the reliable pattern.

Bundling typically beats the sum of standalone bookings on common US leisure routes because the hotel portion is discounted when paired with a flight, and the discount is not visible when the hotel is priced on its own. This pattern holds strongest on Caribbean and Mexico beach trips (Cancun, Cabo, Punta Cana), on Hawaii Flight+Hotel from West Coast hubs, on Orlando and Vegas fixed-date weekends, and on trans-Atlantic to Europe where total package value is largest. Separate bookings often make more sense if you need maximum flexibility, are redeeming frequent-flyer miles for flights, or are routing through multiple cities. Activate ShopBack before clicking through to Expedia.

Yes for most flight tickets, because the US Department of Transportation 24-hour rule typically requires airlines (and tickets for travel touching the US) to allow free cancellation within 24 hours of booking, provided the booking is at least seven days before departure. Expedia applies this to most flights sold on the US site. Edge cases follow the operating airline and merchant terms shown at checkout.

Refundable rates cost more but allow free cancellation up to a stated cut-off shown on the listing, while non-refundable rates are cheaper with limited or no refund. Refundable usually makes sense for dates that may shift, for Spring Break and December-holiday leisure travel where plans move, and for weather-exposed Caribbean itineraries in hurricane season (June to November). Non-refundable is typically cheaper for firm dates on Vegas weekends and Cyber Week bookings. Refund processing time varies by payment method, supplier and rate type.

Yes, member prices on hotels and packages are typically only visible once you sign in to a One Key account. Sign-in is usually required to see the true booking price, so it is worth creating a free Blue-tier account before comparing rates. Sign in, then go through ShopBack before you book at the member price.

To earn Cashback on Expedia through ShopBack, sign in to ShopBack, open the Expedia merchant page above, and click through to Expedia. Complete the booking as normal and the Cashback goes to your ShopBack account. Apply any Expedia code at checkout as usual. ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code: there's nothing to find or type in. Signing in for One Key member prices works with it too. Check the live rate for each category on this page.

After clicking through to Expedia from ShopBack and completing a booking, the order is submitted to ShopBack by the merchant and typically appears as tracked Cashback within two days per the timeline on the Expedia page above. Cashback confirms within the confirmation time shown on this page after the trip is completed, once the merchant's cancellation and refund window has closed. The rate table on this page shows each booking type that earns and its live rate.

Yes. Cashback follows what you finally pay for the trip, so a full or partial refund changes the Cashback to match. Rebooking a fresh trip through shopback.com/expedia tracks as a new booking.

Expedia runs its deepest annual US discount windows during Black Friday week and Cyber Monday for Caribbean and Mexico all-inclusive packages, trans-Atlantic flight-plus-hotel packages, and January-to-March departures. The next window is Post-Christmas through early January, often aimed at spring and summer travel. For Caribbean beach (Cancun, Punta Cana, Jamaica, Aruba, Bahamas) and Mexico Pacific (Cabo, Puerto Vallarta), Memorial Day week, Labor Day week and the September to October shoulder are secondary windows. For Christmas and New Year's travel, book in October, as popular dates fill up. One Key points earn on paid bookings, and tier credits toward Silver, Gold and Platinum apply during the holiday window. VIP Access properties typically add room upgrades and resort credits. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Expedia page before you buy. Start from the ShopBack Expedia merchant page, continue to expedia.com and finish the booking there.

An Expedia booking clicked through from the ShopBack Expedia merchant page typically shows as pending Cashback in your ShopBack US account within the tracking time shown on this page. Pending Cashback confirms within the confirmation time shown on this page after the trip is completed, once Expedia's cancellation window has closed, and becomes withdrawable at that point.

Expedia is the flagship online travel agency of Expedia Group, headquartered in Seattle, which also owns Hotels.com and Vrbo and runs the shared One Key rewards program across all three. On expedia.com and in the Expedia app, US travelers can book hotels, flights, Flight + Hotel and other bundled packages, car rentals, cruises, vacation rentals and Things to do activities, priced in USD. ShopBack US lists Expedia as a merchant with separate rate-table lines for Hotel, Flight, Package, Car Rental and Activity bookings, each at the rate shown on this page.

Start from the ShopBack Expedia page in the ShopBack app, on shopback.com or through the ShopBack browser extension, then continue to expedia.com and finish the booking there. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback goes to your ShopBack account. It confirms once the trip is completed and the cancellation window has closed, and is then withdrawable to your US bank account or PayPal.

The ShopBack US Expedia page shows the live Cashback rate for each booking type, paid after the trip confirms. When an upsize runs, the higher rate shows on this page.

Your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus the Cashback that comes back. When you book from the ShopBack Expedia page, the Cashback is worked out at the rate shown on ShopBack's Expedia page and paid to your bank account or PayPal after the trip confirms.

Expedia bookings on ShopBack are grouped by type: Hotel, Flight, Package, Car Rental and Activity. The live rate for each booking type is shown on this page.

Yes. A signed-in One Key member booking tracks like any other. One Key points and tier credit on the booking are Expedia's business and are unaffected by the ShopBack click.

Once an Expedia booking moves from Pending to Confirmed, the Cashback sits in your ShopBack US balance and can be withdrawn to a US bank account or to PayPal from the ShopBack app or site. Confirmation lands within the tracking and confirmation times shown on this page, counted from when the trip is completed, so a holiday trip booked months ahead confirms well after you travel. ShopBack Plus members earn at the Plus rate shown on the page through the same payout route.

Yes. Cashback is based on the trip you take, so it follows the booking you keep. A change that issues a new Expedia itinerary number counts as a new booking, so start it fresh from the ShopBack Expedia page. If a change is likely, book a refundable rate.

Yes. Expedia's own discounts come mainly as signed-in Member Prices and app-exclusive coupons on hotel bookings, not a sitewide public code; Black Friday and Cyber Monday are when broader codes and package discounts tend to appear. Apply any code or card offer at checkout as usual. Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in: the current Cashback is shown on this page before you book, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. A simple routine: sign in for Member Prices, redeem OneKeyCash if you have it, apply your best code or card offer, then book through ShopBack before you pay.

Sign in so Member Prices show, price the trip as a Flight + Hotel package and as separate bookings, and keep whichever subtotal is lower; the package often wins on Cancun, Cabo, Las Vegas and Hawaii, while separate bookings win when a flight sale is running. Then open the ShopBack Expedia page, click through and book before you pay; the current Cashback for each category is shown on this page. Choose a refundable hotel rate if your dates may still change. Apply any code or card offer at checkout as usual. ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code: there's nothing to find or type in.

Pick Expedia for Flight + Hotel packages, US domestic trips, car rentals and anything where One Key rewards or VIP Access perks matter. Pick Booking.com for Europe, apartments and free-cancellation hotel stays with Genius discounts. Pick Agoda for Asia Pacific hotels, where its Insider Deals and AgodaVIP rates are sharpest. Pick Trip.com for mainland China, Asia-origin flights and China high-speed rail. All four have ShopBack US merchant pages, so compare the all-in total on the exact itinerary first, then the Cashback rate shown on each page.

All three are Expedia Group brands sharing One Key, so points and tier credit are the same; the inventory differs. Expedia sells flights, packages and cars alongside hotels; Hotels.com is hotel-only with the same core inventory; Vrbo is whole-home vacation rentals, which Expedia also lists under vacation rentals. Only a booking completed on expedia.com after clicking through from the ShopBack Expedia page earns Cashback on this page; Hotels.com and Vrbo each have their own ShopBack US page, so start from the page of the site you book on.

Costco Travel bundles hotels, flights and car rentals for Costco members and often includes resort credits or a Costco Shop Card, which makes it hard to beat on Hawaii and Cancun all-inclusives when you already hold a membership. Expedia wins for non-members, for trips Costco does not package, for VIP Access perks, and when the Member Price plus ShopBack Cashback at the Package rate shown closes the gap. Price both; Costco Travel is not on ShopBack, so Cashback is only on the Expedia side of the comparison.

Expedia prices Cancun and Riviera Maya all-inclusives as Flight + Hotel packages from Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, with the package discount applied when flight and hotel are booked together, and the all-in price moves with the season: peak is Christmas to Easter and spring break, low is September to early November inside hurricane season (1 June to 30 November). Expedia usually wins on bundles against Agoda and Booking.com, which do not package in the same way; Costco Travel wins for members on select resorts. Book from the ShopBack Expedia page and the package earns Cashback at the Package rate shown.

Expedia is strong on Las Vegas Strip packages from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago and New York, and VIP Access properties on the Strip often add perks for Gold and Platinum One Key members. The quoted room rate excludes the resort fee most Strip hotels charge per night at check-in, so compare the all-in total against Priceline Express Deals and the casino's own site, which may offer comped or discounted rooms to loyalty members. Book from the ShopBack Expedia page and the hotel or package earns Cashback at the rate shown for that category.

Expedia packages Orlando flights and hotels and sells Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando tickets under Things to do, so a family can bundle most of the trip in one checkout. Disney's own on-site resorts are sold only by Disney, so Expedia is for off-site and Disney Springs area hotels plus tickets. A hotel or package earns ShopBack Cashback at the rate shown; for theme park tickets, check the Activity line on this page. Book from the ShopBack Expedia page, then complete each booking as normal.

Yes; Hawaii is one of Expedia's strongest package markets, with Flight + Hotel bundles to Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island on Hawaiian, Alaska, United, Delta, American and Southwest from the West Coast. Costco Travel is the main rival for members; Agoda and Booking.com are weaker on Hawaii bundles. Book from the ShopBack Expedia page and the package earns Cashback at the Package rate shown.

Expedia lists Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens hotels and flights into JFK, LaGuardia and Newark, and its Flight + Hotel packages can beat separate bookings on short trips. The quoted rate excludes New York City hotel occupancy taxes and any destination fee the hotel adds at check-out, so compare all-in totals against Booking.com and the hotel direct. Where Expedia wins, book from the ShopBack Expedia page and Cashback at the rate shown applies to the hotel or package subtotal.

Book the hotel on Agoda or Trip.com when their signed-in member rate on the same Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto hotel is lower, since both are deeper in Japan inventory and both pay ShopBack Cashback on their own pages. Book on Expedia when the Flight + Hotel package from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle or New York is cheaper than the parts, because the Package line on this page earns Cashback at the rate shown on the whole bundle. Japan accommodation taxes are charged per person per night at the hotel in addition to the quoted rate, and Kyoto's top band rose to 10,000 yen in March 2026. Whichever wins, start from that merchant's ShopBack page.

Booking.com is usually stronger for European hotels, apartments and B&Bs with free cancellation and Genius discounts, so start there for the room. Expedia wins when a transatlantic Flight + Hotel package from JFK, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington Dulles or Los Angeles is cheaper than booking separately, and the Package line on this page earns Cashback at the rate shown on the full bundle. Paris and Rome add a per-person, per-night city tax collected at the hotel, so check each property's tax note before comparing totals. Both merchants have ShopBack US pages, so book whichever wins from its ShopBack page.

Yes. Expedia packages Punta Cana, Montego Bay, Negril, Aruba and Nassau all-inclusives with flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New York, Atlanta and Charlotte, and the package earns Cashback at the Package rate shown when booked from the ShopBack Expedia page. Hurricane season runs 1 June to 30 November, so choose a refundable hotel rate for autumn trips and check the airline change policy. Costco Travel is the main rival for members; Agoda and Booking.com pay Cashback only on hotel-only bookings in these resorts.

Yes. Flights are covered on this page, so a Thanksgiving or Christmas fare booked from the ShopBack Expedia page earns Cashback at the Flight rate shown. Book Thanksgiving flights as early as you can and Christmas flights by late October, and use the US DOT 24-hour free cancellation window if you spot a better fare the next day. If a change issues a new itinerary number, book the new itinerary through the ShopBack Expedia page.

Expedia is the right pick when you are bundling flight and hotel (Cancun, Cabo, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Orlando, Caribbean), when you want car rental and activities in the same checkout, when you hold One Key tier status or OneKeyCash to spend, and when VIP Access perks matter at the property. It also fits anyone who wants one ShopBack merchant page covering hotel, flight, package, car and activity Cashback at the rates shown.

Skip Expedia for Disney on-site resorts, which only Disney sells, and for hotel loyalty points and status, which Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt award only on direct bookings. Skip it when Agoda or Trip.com undercut on an Asia hotel, when Booking.com has the European apartment you want with free cancellation, or when Costco Travel beats the package for members. Compare the all-in total first, then go through ShopBack on the site you book.

No, as long as the session starts on ShopBack. Open the ShopBack Expedia page inside the ShopBack app, tap Shop Now, and let it open Expedia fresh; starting from ShopBack each time is the step that makes the Cashback track. On desktop, the ShopBack browser extension does the same job on expedia.com.

Expedia is usually cheaper than booking direct for a flight and hotel package, but rarely cheaper for a single hotel room or a flight on its own. Package rates are lower because hotels and airlines sell bundled inventory at prices they will not show publicly, so the saving sits inside the package total. For a room alone, most hotel chains match the online price on their own site and add loyalty points, status nights and easier changes. Package and multi-stop travelers usually do better on Expedia; hotel loyalists and anyone likely to change dates usually do better direct. Compare the final total with taxes and fees on both, and read Is Expedia cheaper than booking direct? for the full comparison. Check the Cashback rate on the ShopBack Expedia page and activate it before you book.

Yes, Expedia has last-minute deals, mostly on hotels and Flight + Hotel packages, and booking through ShopBack gets you Cashback on them. Properties release unsold rooms at a lower price close to the stay date, so flexible travelers heading to big hotel markets such as Las Vegas, Orlando or New York City have the best odds of a late price drop. Sign in for Member Prices and filter for free cancellation so you can rebook if the price falls.

Usually not for a flight on its own: Expedia generally shows the same fare the airline sells, because both draw on the same published fares, so the ticket price tends to match. Expedia becomes cheaper when you add a hotel or car, since bundled package rates can undercut separate bookings. Travelers who only need a flight and value easy changes, seat selection and dealing with the airline directly usually do better booking direct, especially on basic economy fares with strict change rules. Travelers booking a flight plus hotel, or comparing many airlines on one screen, usually do better on Expedia. Read Is Expedia cheaper than booking direct? for the full comparison. Check the Cashback rate on the ShopBack Expedia page and activate it before you book.

Not all of them: whether an Expedia booking is refundable depends on the rate you choose, and Expedia labels each rate as refundable, non-refundable or free cancellation until a stated date before you pay. Refundable hotel rates allow free cancellation up to the cut-off shown on the listing, while non-refundable rates are cheaper with limited or no refund. For flights, the US Department of Transportation 24-hour rule typically allows free cancellation within 24 hours of booking when you book at least seven days before departure, and after that the airline's fare rules apply. Cashback follows the booking you keep, so settle the rate type first, then go through ShopBack and book.

You still book on Expedia: going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out, and it lowers the cost of the trip while the booking itself stays on Expedia, in your Expedia account. Open Expedia on ShopBack, tap through, sign in to Expedia as usual and complete the booking. The Cashback then works as a post-purchase discount on the order, paid as cash rather than points or miles. Check the live Expedia rate on this page before you book.

Expedia and Travelocity are both Expedia Group brands, so the better pick usually comes down to the total price on your dates and which rewards you want. Expedia sells flights, hotels, cars and Flight + Hotel packages, and its bookings earn One Key rewards, which work across Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo. If you already collect OneKeyCash or hold One Key status, book on Expedia; otherwise price the same trip on both and pick the lower total for the same rate type and cancellation terms. When Expedia is the pick, click through from the ShopBack Expedia page before you book, then finish the booking on expedia.com as normal; check the live rate on this page. read more
