Use Expedia and then go from there back to the airline, or hotel and do direct booking. Both airlines and hotels resent Expedia fees and will treat direct booking better. However you must be sure of proper confirmation. With Airlines this should be no problem, but some hotels, well you never know. I think J.J above has it sussed.

I go there to look at available flight/hotels. When I find what I'm looking for, I ditch Expedia and make reservations directly through the hotel/airline website. I’ve never really trusted Expedia.

It has been more than 60 days now, and my $1,500 has not been refunded back to me. Air Canada emailed me that they have refunded Expedia, and so I should follow-up with Expedia. I mentioned this to Expedia, and as usual, they kept telling me that the refund will come soon. But it's been more than 60 days now, and more than two billing cycles in my credit card, and nothing has happened. I finally reported the case to my credit card company and disputed the charges, and they are working on this now.

I have been calling them regularly, as they told me to, to see about the refund- which, after nearly a full day on them the day of the cancellation- they advised me to get. Now the ticket was never used (flights cancelled) and the agent is telling me I might get but a partial refund from United. They are saying I used a portion of the flight, which is impossible- as United cancelled the flight. I feel like I am in a house of mirrors. WHY WOULD ANYONE USE THIS COMPANY? I don't care about all their problems with United- I dealt with them. I booked a flight with Expedia nearly a year ago, it was cancelled due to weather.
