Last-minute: free gas card for Memorial Day from Expedia

LAT ohhh

Expedia has heard your cries at the pump. If you haven’t booked your Memorial Day plans, check out this opportunity to get a free gas card to go with your hotel room. Even if you’re planning on a stay-cation, who wouldn’t mind $50 worth of gas free?

Deal: Book three nights of hotel accommodations through Expedia and get a $50 gas card (prepaid MasterCard). The Expedia Memorial Day (and Fourth of July) sale page offers lead to discounted properties in San Diego; Portland, Oregon; Phoenix; Houston; Chicago; Miami; Orlando, Florida; New York; and more. The free gas card offer isn’t that easy to find. Click on the hotels page for one of the sale cities, and then you’ll find the gas card offered above the hotel listings for that destination.

Note: The card is redeemable at most stations and expires after Aug. 31, 2008.

When: Book by May 16 [EXTENDED to the end of June] for travel to be completed by Sept. 30, 2008

Contact: Expedia, (800) 397-3342

Hi Wern - I’m sorry you couldn’t find it. Miami hotel deals are listed on the sales page, second from the bottom. Here’s the direct link:

I saw an offer for gas card and I am eligable so made extra effort to look for the request/extras, but did not see it. I still kept looking without success; I called and was told I’d MISSED IT; that a discount coupon would be given because I’d would’ve needed to request before confirming. Needless to say I wasn’t expecting zip, but the notice got my attention and it would’ve been super , but WHO wants to give away gas? We won’t be able to use a room cpn. until 2009 since only one wk. is do-able per year for a vac. I’m sure my son and I will enjoy our stay reguardless. Please make offer more visible and others won’t feel ripped.
