Saving money is always great, especially when it comes to reducing your cost on travel expenses. If you’re planning a hotel stay soon, check your Amex Offers to see if you’re targeted for an Expedia discount that lets you save up to $125.

Let’s take a look at the offer details.

Expedia Amex Offer Details

For those unfamiliar with Amex Offers, these are targeted deals for Amex cardholders that let you save money on various purchases, including travel, shopping, dining, and more.

This newest iteration lets you save 10% with Expedia (up to $125 back) on prepaid hotel bookings.

The offer is targeted, so check your account to see if it’s available. Here are additional terms to keep in mind:

  • Enrollment is required, meaning you must add the offer to your card and use that same card to make a qualifying purchase.
  • The offer expires on April 6, 2025.
  • Get a 10% rebate on prepaid hotel bookings with a maximum of $125 in statement credits.
  • You must book via a specific link.
  • The offer can be used across multiple purchases.

Is It Worth It?

While we’ll almost always say it’s worth using a discount to save money, this one is a little more sticky. Yes, you can maximize this discount to get 10% off a hotel booking, but should you?

For the most part, we don’t recommend booking hotels through a third party like Expedia. This is because hotel chains are the stingiest when giving out rewards for third-party bookings. When you book through Expedia, you miss out on using any elite status benefits you have and the opportunity to earn elite night credits and hotel points.

Now, if you’re not loyal to any particular hotel chain, you may want to take advantage of this offer. As we mentioned above, it’s only valid on prepaid stays booked through a specific link, so keep that in mind when you’re searching.

You’ll also want to double-dip your earnings by stacking this offer with a shopping portal. Rakuten is currently offering up to 3% cash-back on hotels booked with Expedia:

Yes, 3% cash-back is great, but you can earn American Express Membership Rewards points with Rakuten instead.

Why is this important? Because we value Amex points at 2.2 cents each, meaning you’re effectively doubling your return versus choosing cash-back. This is on top of the up to $125 rebate you save with your Amex Offer.

Hot Tip:

Final Thoughts

Saving 10% on prepaid hotels booked through Expedia is a pretty decent offer for those targeted, especially if the cost of your stay could maximize the $125 cash-back limit.

Although it’s not always a great idea to book hotels with a third party, the ability to save up to $125 on your stay — and stack it with a shopping portal — makes this a pretty enticing offer worth considering.
