There's a big announcement in the travel space 🎊👇🏻 #Expedia #vrbo #hotelsdotcom #ad

#ad | @expedia, @vrbo, and @hotelsdotcom have unified to create the ultimate loyalty program called One Key. It's simple, easy to use, and free to join.

Here's how it works: when you book travel via any of these apps, you will earn Trip Elements that will help you progress through the membership tiers. There are four - Blue, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The higher you go up, the more value and discounts you get. So you can earn rewards by purchasing a flight on Expedia but reap those benefits when booking a Vrbo stay or room on Hotels.com.

There are so many perks, but my favorite part about One Key is that you don't need to be a frequent traveler to reap the benefits, it is designed for all travellers. When you sign up you can unlock immediate discounts but you can also get to the second tier really easily. When I booked my flight and car rental for Colorado, I earned 7 Trip Elements which would have bumped me up to the Silver in One Key (you only need 5!)-but since I've been booking with Expedia all year it helped me make progress in the Gold tier I'm currently in.

Some perks about One Key:

• Upfront discounts and Member Prices at every membership level, the higher status the deeper discount.
•VIP Access: Silver, Gold and Platinum members who book a VIP Access property may be offered in-stay perks, such as food & beverage credits, free room upgrades (where available), early/late check in (where available), bottle of wine and more.

•Price Drop Protection: For Gold and Platinum members, add Price Drop Protection at no extra cost on eligible flight bookings made on the Expedia app.

On top of all these perks, members also earn
OneKeyCash with each eligible booking across Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo, which you can use towards future travel across all three brands. $20 in OneKeyCash means $20 off your next trip.

Note: One Key has rolled out for all Americans and will roll out in Canada in 2024.
