Expedia.ca voucher: Save C$50 off 3+ Nights Hotel Stay

Use voucher code EXPEDIA50 during check-out for the discount. There appears to be no minimum spend amount required to use this code. Putting it to the test, I was able to get 3 nights in Las Vegas for next-to-nothing in early January at the Palace Station Hotel for C$4.11 total cost (about 4 USD).

You must book an Expedia Special Rate hotel - Canadian bookings only (so they say, but many residing in the U.S. have had success in the past having a reservation honored despite this clause.)

Hurry, code expires soon! ... (Follow on Flyertalk)
