Expedia is a go-to for affordable travel, but if you’re not signed up for Expedia Rewards , you’re missing out on some easy travel savings. The loyalty program, which is free to sign up for, earns you points on every booking that you can use toward your next vacation. On average, Expedia Rewards Members save $35 per booking with their points. Groupon Coupons has everything you need to know about this program and how you can use it to your advantage. Our first tip: combine your savings with our collection of Expedia coupons .

How Expedia Rewards Works

Expedia Rewards, now called OneKey, is a four-tiered loyalty program that earns you rewards points for every dollar you spend on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. You can earn points by booking hotels, rental cars, flights, things to do, and travel packages.

Earn 2 points for every $1 spent
Every 140 points equal $1 you can use toward your next booking
