Expedia Extends Its Loyalty Program to Microsoft Bing Travel Users

Expedia Group several months ago paused the global rollout of its One Key loyalty program beyond the U.S. and the UK, but it’s busy expanding the program to its B2B partners.

Expedia announced this week that for the first time, a B2B client — Microsoft — using Expedia’s Rapid API tech will also be able to let its customers get the benefits of the One Key loyalty program. Rapid API tech provides access to its Expedia’s hundreds of thousands hotels and vacation rentals.

The new strategic partnership between Expedia Group and Microsoft enables users of the Bing search engine to earn One Key cash — in addition to Microsoft Rewards — when they book eligible accommodations from Expedia in the U.S. and UK.

Expedia Group provides Microsoft’s Bing with more than 750,000 hotels and vacation rentals, and provides customer service.
