You can make a Expedia Credit Card payment online, by phone, through the Citibank mobile app, or by mail. To pay a Expedia Credit Card bill online, log in to your online account and click on “Make a Payment.” Then, choose how much to pay, when to pay it, and where the payment is coming from. Citibank does allow cardholders to set up automatic payments, too.
Ways to Make a Expedia Credit Card Payment
- Online: Log in to your online account and click on “Make a Payment.”
- By phone: Call (866) 458-4271 and enter your card information when prompted, then follow the prompts to make a credit card payment.
- Through the mobile app: Log in to your account and select your card, then tap “Make a Payment.”
- By mail: Send a check or money order (but not cash) to Citi Cards P.O. Box 9001037 Louisville KY, 40290-1037. Make sure to send it early enough that it will arrive by the due date. Write your credit card number on the check, too.
In conclusion, there are multiple ways to make a Expedia Credit Card payment, so just choose whichever method is easiest for you. The important part is to not miss payments, as that can seriously damage your credit score.

No, you cannot apply for the Expedia Credit Card as this card is no longer available to new applicants. This doesn't mean you're out of options, though, as there are similar credit cards available to choose from. A good option is the Priceline Credit Card that offers 1 - 5 points per $1 spent on purchases and has a $0 annual fee.

Questions: (1) What are "eligible charges"? (2) If I get the best deal I can on expedia and put my airline charges on the credit card, can I later upgrade to first class using reward points? (3) if I don't use the points, do they expire? (4) can I use points to get cash if I don't use them? (5) can I use the card to pay business and personal expenses and get points (such as paying electric bills)?

You can't use your Expedia Credit Card instantly after approval. You will only be able to use your card as soon as you receive it in the mail, which should be within 14 calendar days. There is no way to expedite a new Expedia Credit Card. Citi, the issuer, will only expedite cards that have been lost or stolen.
It's also important to note that it could take up to four weeks from the...

You earn Expedia credit card points by making purchases.
You will earn at least 1 point per $1 spent on all purchases made with the Expedia+ Card, but only certain hotel reservations booked through Expedia are eligible for the card's bonus earning rate. More specifically, you earn 3 points per $1 on Expedia Rate Hotel reservations, in addition to flights, travel packages and activities. Eligible hotels should be noted in the search results on...

You can use your Expedia credit card anywhere, for regular purchases too. You can even take out a cash advance (though it's definitely a bad idea!).

I was promised 20000 Expedia points when I spend $1000 in 3 month. When card arrived says 10000 points. Called Citi and Expedia, it's like talking to the wall. Expedia's Indian call center after putting me on hold constantly for over an hour, finally just dropped the call. Asked for my callback number, and of course never called me back. Filed BBB complain. Will continue to complain further. Would recommend to sty away from this credit card and Expedia with their horrible India based customer service.

Other than getting enough promotion points for getting an Expedia credit card for a two-night stay at a hotel I have only had bad experiences with Expedia and the use of their points system. The latest was trying to use my points for booking a room. I could book a room for less on another booking site than I could through Expedia using my points. After contacting Expedia via email and phone they kept saying that they were giving me the best price available at any given time but each time I checked I could immediately find a better price on another site. Expedia would only match that price if I used my points. Essentially the points I have accumulated are worthless.

Took me 1,5 hr to book a trip with this card, spoke to about 8 different citi bank and expedia employees. I already regret the card. Not to mention the low line of credit. I don't own a card under $30,000 available, and citi gave me a ridiculous 6K

A card that charges foreign transactions fees should never be aimed to be a travel card. I use it to pre-pay for travel expenses but I never use it abroad.

The smart chip is something I have and love in another card that I have, not all stores are using their smart chip devices but more are. However the APR seems rather high to me compared to other cards I have with Chase. I do like that the Expedia credit card gives you 3 points for every $1 that is spent, this is higher than what my other card currently offers. Overall the Expedia credit card seems to be a good deal.

The Expedia credit card has many perks compared to other credit cards I've used. For every $1 spent, you earn 3 points, which is one of the better deals I've seen for the point system. The smart chip is also a really nice thing to have, just as an added measure of security. The grace period is an acceptable length of time, and the late fee is also agreeable. I can't say I enjoy the high APR, though. In the end, I believe the Expedia credit card is one of the better credit cards you can find.

The Expedia credit card has no annual fee and great rewards associated with the card for people who travel a lot. I am surprised that there is a 3% foreign transaction fee because it is a travel card. So many cards are no longer charging these fees, so that's why I didn't give this card five stars. Although I don't normally carry a balance on my cards, the APR is high, but not as high as others I have seen. I would recommend this card.

While the Expedia Credit Card doesn’t require an annual fee and offers lost baggage and damage & theft purchase protections, the high interest rates and no introductory offers leaves this card with much to be desired. Offering a 15,000 reward point bonus is great, however requiring $1,000 in purchases within the first three months of having the Expedia Credit Card doesn’t promote responsible use. The earn and use limits on rewards points will make it difficult to use the points earned, unlike other cards available these days.

The Expedia credit card offers attractive rewards benefits. The 15,000 point bonus is very enticing and the threshold to qualify for it is only $1,000 in charges. The card offers a 3 point bonus for every dollar spent. This bonus offer is better than average when compared with other credit cards. The card also has an Apple Pay feature that provides additional convenience and helps to expedite purchases and payments. The smart chip addition is also very convenient, especially for international travel and purchases. The card offers a reasonable foreign transaction fee when compared to the fees charged by other cards. In general, the Expedia credit card is an attractive choice that provides excellent features for cardholders.
