Expedia.com Is Giving Away Two Million Expedia+ Points Ahead of Epic Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To help Americans plan for the biggest shopping days of the year, Expedia.com® today unveiled their incredible 2017 Black Friday and Cyber Monday travel deals. A recent survey¹ revealed nearly 77 percent of Americans would love to receive a vacation as their holiday present this year, and a global study² of 17,000 people found that 94 percent of teens prefer a family vacation over a new toy or game. Expedia wants to help people check off their family's wish lists with special Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and coupons that will run across the site.

This year's top-notch coupon savings include 75 percent off select hotels in destinations like Los Angeles, Dominican Republic, Los Cabos, San Diego, Miami, Las Vegas and more. Travelers can also save a whopping $750 on select travel packages and up to 90 percent off select hotels by booking through the Expedia app, making it an amazing time to book that much needed post-holiday getaway or next year's family spring break.

"Research shows us that taking a vacation is an amazing opportunity to connect with loved ones, and to recharge. Our goal this holiday season is to encourage Americans to travel by providing sensational holiday deals," says John Morrey, vice president and general manager of Expedia. "We know budget is a key factor in planning a trip which is why our team has worked incredibly hard with our industry partners to ensure we are offering amazing deals during our Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale."

To help get travelers in the holiday spirit, Expedia is doing a little gift giving of their own. Starting today, Expedia is giving away two million Expedia+ points for both existing and new members. Simply sign up to join the Expedia+ loyalty program online and then visit the Gift of Travel homepage to claim your share of the two million points while supplies last. Points will be loaded into your account just in time for Black Friday so travelers have the option to combine points with promotional coupons for even bigger savings. And remember, there's no required minimum for when you can redeem your points, so members have the flexibility to use as little or as many as they like depending on how much they want to save. Members can make savings easy by using any combination of points and money to save.
