They're creating a joint program with Expedia and VRBO. Probably bad news for the consumers.

It is. 2% instead of 10% in the case of Hotels.com (they're all one company).

A HUGE plus on Expedia with the new program is free price drop protection for platinum members (equivalent to former Gold). This is now a huge push for me to book with them over other OTAs.
I didn’t see this benefit advertised anywhere but booked a flight today and got an email saying I’m eligible.

Got an email about One Key "enhancements". Couldn't figure out how they can make the world's lousiest loyalty program (yes, worse than SkyPesos) even worse, but wow they actually pulled it off.

Amazing how lousy VRBO is compared to Airbnb, and now they've taken away even the last so-called incentive.

I spent over 5 digits there last year and earned a grand total of - wait for it - $22.12 in One Key cash.
