How One Key works when you book travel
A few simple steps to make sure your next trip earns, and uses, One Key.
Join and sign in before you book
Create a free One Key account and sign in first. Bookings made while signed out do not earn.
Book eligible travel
Hotels, vacation rentals, activities, packages, car rentals and cruises earn OneKeyCash; flights earn only a small amount.
Collect trip elements for status
Tiers are based on trip elements collected in a calendar year, such as hotel nights and flight segments, not on dollars spent.
Use OneKeyCash as a discount
Apply OneKeyCash to a later eligible Pay Now booking. It works on bookings in someone else's name too.
When One Key makes sense
- Travellers who already compare and book hotels, packages and cars on Expedia or Hotels.com
- People who book several short trips a year and can reach a higher tier
- Anyone who prefers a straight discount to points tied to one airline
Things to watch out for
- OneKeyCash cannot be used on Pay Later bookings, only Pay Now bookings
- Flights earn little, and paying for a flight with OneKeyCash needs enough to cover the whole fare
- Some tier and earn-rate details come from U.S. sources, so confirm what applies on Expedia.ca
- OneKeyCash cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred to other members
