Learn about room type / amenity-matching (Expedia Best Price Guarantee)

For all of you who are new to the Expedia Best Price Guarantee, amenity matching is very important. Once a customer service agent has found that lower bookable rate you found on a competing travel site, his or her next task will be to attempt to verify that the room type on the other site is actually identical (in every way) to the one you just booked (on Expedia.com). Bedding will be looked at first, perhaps smoking/non-smoking will be looked at (for a match), and then .. are the room amenities the same?

Within our posts, we often highlight the individual matching amenities (such as: free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, in-room microwave, refrigerator, etc.) that we observe on BOTH competing websites. We do this primarily with Expedia BRG deals. We will pay particular attention to highlighting the most important ones. Again, these would be the amenities your claim agent would be more likely to look at as he/she attempts to verify an itinerary match. However, we may highlight even some of the less-crucial ones (just to cover ourselves!) Just look for the * symbol within the post.

* = common amenity matches

We hope that you find the highlights helpful. Based on all the information we provide, you should be able to determine which of our featured opportunities offers you the best chances. It's never easy knowing which ones will work, and which won't. As we have always stated, the outcome of your claim is totally dependent on the agent's own interpretation of a "match". No two agents think alike! Some will focus primarily on bed type while others will look at matching more specific amenities as well. I've even spoken with a few agents who really didn't even care all that much - they just popped me a coupon!

As we often say: "YMMV" (your mileage may vary). Best of luck!
