So for a particular hotel on expedia.com I can "pay online now" $374 or I can "pay later" $374 (approx). The following screenshot better captures what I mean:
My question is... why is pay later an approximation whereas pay online now isn't? If I pay later would I essentially be paying at the same rate I'd be paying at if I tried to book the hotel same day (which would be quite expensive, I'd imagine)?

Is it better to pay now or later on Expedia?
With Expedia's Book Now Pay Later you don't pay for your rooms until you arrive at the property. Rooms booked in advance are guaranteed for your stay but are only paid for once you check in. If anything comes up to keep you from your vacation, you won't be charged for missing or modifying your reservations.Does Expedia still have payment plans?
Expedia has partnered with online lender, Affirm, to allow you to easily pay for your vacation in instalments. To set up a trip payment plan you simply select monthly payments during the checkout process and will then be prompted to sign in or sign up with Affirm.What Does Pay Later mean on booking?
It means you can reserve a room and pay once you either check in or check out. But, look carefully at how it's worded, you more than likely will have a time, on date of check in to cancel. If, you don't by time given you will pay regardless if you check in or not.Is it better to book with Expedia or directly to the hotel?
Direct bookings are more profitable to them than ones through third-party sites that take a cut, and staff generally can see right in the computer system how a room was booked. They're definitely checking the computer when a guest drops a hint about an upgrade.Expedia 'Pay now or pay later' DDB Sydney
