What happens to Expedia Pay later non-refundable booking in case of no show?
When you choose the 'Pay later' option on Expedia to book a hotel, you are given a certain deadline to cancel free of cost? Now when you cancel post this deadline or end up 'no show' how will the hotel recover this amount from you?
I suppose they can do so if you have used your credit card for guarantee, but Expedia allows you to use debit card for such bookings too. Recently debit card transactions have a Mastercard/Visa SecureCode or SMS OTP system to make payment. So in case of a 'no show', just the debit card and CVV number is useless for the hotels to recover the cancellation charge. What happens in such circumstance? Does the hotel or Expedia just 'forget about it'?
Best Answer
They do not forget about your booking. You will be charge if you're a no show. If you cancel after the free period, you'll b charged a fee. If it states it non-refundable booking or deposit, then you lose the price of your booking or deposit for the trouble of not cancelling.
It is very easy to cancel with Expedia. You can do it on their website. I haven't booked with hotel in awhile and I've never cancelled.
I usually put a reminder in my phone or on the calendar to remind me of cancellation or bookings. I hope this helps.
