The Expedia promotional programs that BookingCenter supports are described below. Expedia may alter them at any time.
BookingCenter used Agent codes to map to each Expedia program. These codes are setup by BookingCenter and can be found in MyPMS under SETUP | RELATIONSHIPS | AGENT RELATIONSHIPS. See Expedia | Agent Allocations. These codes are not used by Expedia. They use the Expedia Program description, so please use these when speaking with Expedia.
The two most common programs are:
Expedia Collect - Expedia will collect the monies from the guest and provides the hotel with a one-time use credit card. The commissions owed to Expedia are collected on the front-end of the reservation by Expedia. Here is an example, where the rate is shown NET less taxes and Expedia fees:

Hotel Collect - Expedia gives a guest guarantee, but the hotel will collect the monies from the guest and then paying Expedia their commission after the reservation has been fulfilled. Here is an example, where the rate is shown as your SELL rate and then you will owe a commission to Expedia for their fees and you will collect taxes. In this example property charges the guest the full amount - 110 EUR per day (330 EUR total). Property owes Expedia 19,38 EUR per day.
