Our Verdict
Nice little savings here; we’ve seen similar (better) deals in the past. This should work on the regular Expedia site as well (despite the terms) which makes it possible to stack along with a shopping portal (update: counter data point here). Our friend Tim at Frequentmiler points out that this can potentially be a nice stack with the deals that usually see from Expedia over Cyber Monday.

Hilariously, the hotel I am looking to book at allows prepaid bookings on the regular Expedia site, but not the Amex Expedia site. Kind of bizarre the Amex Expedia site even lets me proceed with the booking, given that it will not be eligible for the offer.
Anyone who use the amex link can you please share how the charge appears on your statement? I’m wondering is it very different then when you don’t go from their link?

I used the AmEx link and this is how it appeared
It shows up the same whether you use their link or not, but you only get the cashback by using their link. I made the mistake of making a second booking without going through the link, after previously using the link and getting cashback for a first booking. No cashback for that transaction. I refunded and re-booked using their link. However, the refund clawed back part of the credit I received from the first booking, so the net result of my second booking was zero cashback.
It’s actually very different.
Dan post above from the amex link does not show “Expedia.com” on the transaction. If you don’t go from amex’s link, it does. I was also told by Amex CS that they process the charge differently hence why it looks different when it post and that’s how they can tell.
Just a FYI to double check the quoted price with using the amex special website/link and without. I noticed that Expedia jacked up the price by ~15% when using the amex link for some hotels for the same dates.
BTW, using cashback site and paying with Amex did not trigger the 10% back.
Only the cashback showed up.
Same here. Been 15 days and no 10% back. Will contact CS to see if they can help
Does anyone have experience using the /amex link and then activating a Swagbucks or TopCashBack offer etc, on top? TCB looks to also be paying 10% right now. That seems like a nice stack, but I wouldn’t want the two to cancel each other out and end up with nada.
wow, and no language about only booking within the US like the normal Amex language
Beware, this did not track for me last time around. I had an email confirmation from Expedia, etc. Bonus never tracked and an investigation with Amex resulted in nothing. Never got the bonus.
Same here. Received Amex offer redemption confirmation email but ended up with no bonus. Had to call twice and customer service manually honored the bonus.
Did they have to open a case and escalate it for you to get the credit?
One has to visit Expedia.com/amex to use this offer. I went to the regular Expedia.com site in the last round of Expedia offer and booked a prepaid hotel. But my purchase didn’t trigger the amex offer. After chatting with CS, he said that I had to use the /amex link to be eligible.
@Victor or @Chuck do you know if I can use my OneKey Rewards in conjunction with this Amex Offer? Thank you in Advance!
I used the link and spent ~$1400 on prepaid hotel and $33 OneKey Rewards – got the $100 credit.
@May thank you! I really appreciate you providing a data point.
I second this, unfortunately. They seem to be enforcing the link closely and customer service wasn’t able to help after the fact (nor did they let me know that they’d concluded their investigation without multiple chats/calls).
