I had the same thing happen. We were booked our Vegas vacation on August 13, 2010 (the cut off for the promo was Aug 31). You had to travel before Sept 6, 2010, which we did. It said it would come to my house 6 weeks after our trip. It is now the beginning of Nov. I called them & they said they knew nothing about it, that the only deal they had, had to do with their credit card. Needless to say I am a very unhappy consumer!!!

I booked a very expensive hotel stay at the Dolphin Hotel – Disney, FL through Expedia. I was promised a $50 Gas Card would be sent to my home address within 4-6 weeks (as part of the offer). Three (3) months have passed, and NO GAS CARD! I have called 3 times and emailed 3 times. Each time to India I believe, with NO RESOLVE whatsoever. Just long 30 minute waits on hold, transfer after transfer, canned emails that say “We’re sorry you are having trouble”. They are just hoping customers will give up and go away. I do not understand why Expedia would create such a SCAM and offer such poor customer service! They really are driving customers away. Just look at how many people on this board have been scammed! Why would Disney be a part of this? I am not interested in booking travel trough Expedia in the future. Be very careful of their “offers”.

I had a same issue from hotels.com. Stayed 4 nights but never got $75 MasterCard as promised. It’s already been 3 months no sign of luck. I contacted their customer care, after arguing 30 minutes they offered me 10% refund. What a joke! They all are scammer and treat their customer like a shit. I don’t know if all victims can bring a class action suit against Hotels.com/Expedia.

I travelled in February and was supposed to receive a $50 Mastercard. It is now almost 6 months later and after numerous calls and e-mails and my case number being “escalated’ and marked “urgent” for immediate attention several times in the last 3 months I still have nothing but empty promises. I wonder how Mastercard would feel about their name being used in this fraud scheme. Well I will be forwarding my complaint to the state Attorney General and local TV stations for investigation. Hopefully if enough light is shined on Expedia and their deceptive practices they will either change or be exposed and go out of business before the rip-off more unsuspecting travelers.

I also fell for the $75 gift card promotion scam. I will not trust expedia again. I have sent numerous emails and I have called. I keep getting told just one more week, just two more weeks, again and again, and it has been six months since I completed my trip.

I was scammed by this offer too. It’s now been 15 weeks since my travel has been complete, and still no gas card. 6 weeks ago, I opened a trouble ticket, and Expedia said it would be just 2 more weeks. Expedia sucks, and this is blatant false advertising, luring customers in with the promise of a $75 incentive, but with no intent on delivering it!

The gas card seems to be a scam. Read more case (like Jon) at http://www.expedianews.com

I too signed up for a gas card for a 4 night stay and never got it! I tried emailing but they don’t reply. All I have is my confirmation which doesnt say anything about the gas card but I know i filled out the online form for it… what a joke! why do promotions you can’t administer?
