Expedia loyalty program
Expedia's One Key rewards program lets members earn OneKeyCash on eligible bookings across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. OneKeyCash can be applied toward future bookings on any of those three platforms. On Expedia and Hotels.com, Blue members earn 1% in OneKeyCash, Silver and Gold members earn 2%, and Platinum members earn 3% (excluding taxes and fees); on Vrbo, Silver members earn 1% and Gold and Platinum members earn 2%. Since July 28, 2026, flights no longer earn OneKeyCash, though eligible flights still count toward tier status. The program has four tiers — Blue, Silver, Gold, and Platinum — and higher tiers can unlock better member prices. Gold and Platinum members also get Price Drop Protection on select flights booked in the Expedia app and room upgrades at VIP Access properties when available at check-in. One Key membership is free: you join automatically when you create an Expedia, Hotels.com or Vrbo account, and you must be at least 18.
