Expedia gives teachers 10% off select hotels when you verify through ID.me. The booking has to be a hotel on its own, paid in full at the time you book, and made through the ID.me link. ID.me lists a maximum of $40 in savings.
Expedia is a travel site for hotels, flights, rental cars and packages. The teacher discount covers hotels only, so a flight-plus-hotel package doesn’t get it. If you also look at Hotels.com, ID.me lists a separate teacher offer for it, so it’s worth comparing the final totals.
How To Get The Expedia Teacher Discount
- Verify as a teacher with ID.me. If you’re not sure your role counts, ID.me tells you when you verify.
- Open Expedia from the ID.me Shop listing and click through from there. The discount code only works when the booking starts from the ID.me link, so don’t go to Expedia directly.
- Search for a hotel by itself, not a flight-and-hotel bundle, and pay at the time you book. A pay-at-the-property rate doesn’t qualify.
- Look at the total before you pay. The 10% is for select hotels, so some properties won’t show it.
The $40 Maximum
ID.me lists $40 as the maximum savings, so the 10% matters most on a short or mid-priced stay. On a long stay at an expensive hotel, the maximum would hold your savings to $40 and the 10% would stop growing. Compare the total against booking direct and against cash back before you pick one.
Cash Back Instead Of The Discount
ID.me members can also get up to 2.5% cash back at Expedia. It only applies to a stay you complete, and it may not post until 30 to 40 days after you travel. Using a coupon or promo code may void it, so plan on picking either the 10% hotel discount or the cash back for a booking. Rakuten lists up to 3% back and pays nothing on bookings where a coupon code is used. TopCashback lists up to 13% back, and Fluz gives 1.5%. Rates change, so check the one you pick before you pay.
Q&A
How much do teachers save at Expedia?
10% off select hotels through ID.me, with a $40 maximum in savings.
Does the discount work on flights or packages?
No. It applies to stand-alone hotel bookings, not a hotel booked together with a flight or a car.
Can I pay at the hotel instead of prepaying?
No. The booking has to be prepaid at the time you book.
What if the 10% doesn’t show up on the hotel I want?
The offer is for select hotels. Start again from the ID.me link, and if it still doesn’t appear, try another property.
Can I use the discount and cash back on the same booking?
Plan on one or the other. Using a coupon or promo code may void cash back.
Is my role covered, like a substitute or teacher aide?
You find out when you verify with ID.me. If it accepts your verification, the offer applies.
