Fly to New York City, Las Vegas, or Cancún for Free

Matthew Klint Posted onNovember 20, 2010 10 Comments

This deal has been going on all afternoon, but the fat lady isn’t signing yet:

Expedia.ca is offering $300 off your trip (air + hotel) to New York City, Las Vegas, or Cancún and there are no strings attached except for the eligible travel dates, which are November 20 through December 31.

Follow these simple steps to save big:

1. Go to expedia.ca and choose to search for a hotel + flight package (or any vacation package you want that includes a hotel night).

2. Book a separate ticket for each member of your party to maximize savings.

3. Ideally, look for a flight and hotel combo that is under C$300. On the initial search page, you can specify if you do not need a hotel room for every night of your trip (i.e. you can book an eight day trip but only reserve a hotel room for one night, thereby maximizing the benefit of this deal).

4. On the final page, click on the "I have a voucher" link right before you input your credit card information and enter SAVE300.

5. Presto! C$300 is removed from your final price. If you are already under $300, you pay nothing. All you will see is a charge from the airline (e.g. $297) then a refund from Expedia (e.g. $297) which posts immediately.

Here’s the details of the offer:

SAVE300 – C$300 discount voucher

Canadian bookings only. Book a flight + hotel package at an Expedia Special Rate hotel in Las Vegas, Cancun, Riviera Maya and Manhattan on www.expedia.ca from 12:00:01AM PT November 20, 2010 to 11:59:59 PM PT November 21, 2010 for travel between November 20, 2010 – December 31, 2010 and receive a C$300 discount on that booking off Expedia.ca’s current advertised prices for that flight + Expedia Special Rate hotel package.

You must use voucher code SAVE300 when prompted on the Billing & Delivery page during check-out to receive the discount. Limit of one voucher per booking. Discount cannot be applied post-purchase and is applied after applicable taxes. Valid for qualifying flight+hotel bookings only; new bookings only. No minimum night stay required. Travel cannot begin before November 20, 2010 and must be completed by December 31, 2010. Voucher has no cash surrender value.

The key question, of course, is what does Canadian bookings only mean? Since the site allows the input of U.S. telephone numbers, addresses, and credit cards, I presume that only means the promo must be booked through Expedia’s Canadian website. 

Book by November 21, 2010 for travel through December 31. (But I’d book immediately just to be safe–I have made 12 booking today for various friends and family).

Also, you cannot use the same credit card more than once to take advantage of this offer and you need to reset your cache every time you want to book an additional trip or else you get a "voucher has already been used" error.

    One point of clarification for NYC–you cannot book an airport hotel around JFK–you must book within NYC proper.

    Took me some time to figure that out…

    For you Delta flyers–LGA-RDU is looking might attractive with the triple EQM deal.

    Did you see this in the T&Cs? What do you think? “Coupon is non-refundable, non-transferable and only available for transactions/travel originating in Canada.”

    @Adam: I certainly noticed that (though the T&Cs have changed since I made my bookings), but if Expedia chose to make the promotion available for all points of origin, I think they will honor the discount.

    Some on FT have said this is the “black Friday” of airline deals, but I don’t think so. It’s going to cost XP some money, but I predict not enough for them to cancel all the reservations.

    Plus, transactions/travel originating in Canada could be interpreted as simply bookings made through the Canadian website.

    Hey Matt – booked about 4 of these yesterday before T&Cs changed, and have never seen a FT thread get to 100+ pages in less than 24 hours! In all honesty, I can’t keep up with it and I know you’ve been active on it. What are your thoughts Expedia cancels all these? I agree with your reply to Adam above, that it would cost them some money, but I’m sure airline cancellation fees would be worse on them as a whole – Especially if booked on itineraries using multiple airlines.

    I hope this goes through. Glitch or not it’s pretty awesome. My flights are confirmed for myself, and the ones booked for family and had a UA agent lift the ‘credit card requirement’ for the reservations I bought for others and he said all looked well.

    Just curious on your overall thoughts.

    thanks!

    Hi Lyndon:

    I think we’re good to go, and if Expedia pulls any tricks, I’ve got the Canadian Transportation Agency on speed dial. They love cases like this and will be very instrumental if Expedia tries to back down.

    Folks, the deal is over–but it was fun while it lasted!

    15 bookings for me! (only four trips for me personally, though)

    Any idea when we will know if the “coast is clear”? How long does it usually take companies like this to re-neg on their offers if they were going to cancel it?
    I guess I’m just trying to figure out when I can stop holding my breath and start celebrating/ planning 🙂

  9. Matthew Reply
    November 22, 2010 at 3:04 am

    @Eli: I’m not celebrating till Tuesday, but I think we’ll squeak by on this one.

    Like the Bahamas deal earlier in the year, Expedia probably didn’t intend exactly what happened, but the logistical nightmare and legal issues of canceling tickets was too much.

    Let’s hope XP chalks it up as a lesson learned!

    Got my refund from Expedia.ca posted today on my AMEX. Also got a pretty hefty (from my point of view, at least) Foreign transaction fee refunded. However, United’s charge hasn’t gone through – so I think it’s safe to say, this deal is safe!

    Wow, what a steal!
