Oops…$2 for a hotel room?

Monday, 14 November 20053 min read

Expedia.com had some prices for Hilton International hotels in Japan as low as $2. It sounded too good to be true, and guess what?

The agency blamed a technical glitch for the temporary problem.

Expedia now says it will honor some of the bookings while other customers will get a $250 coupon for a package trip.

Some customers quoted in Reuters said that was not good enough.

After complaints, Bill Scannell said Expedia was honoring his family trip to Japan for a total price of $46.57. He got a bargain: Expedia said the correct price was $2,079.57.
