Read MoreFrom now until 11:59PM on 29 May 2019, enjoy a 12% upsized cashback on hotel bookings made on Expedia - all you have to do is to go through ShopBack and you can withdraw that amount directly into your bank account (no fees involved!) once it has been successfully posted.
Read MoreI am a firm believer of loyalty programs but lately some of them have been far from attractive. In any case, one can always do with a promo code or two for hotel bookings made on Expedia (especially when they do not belong to a strong loyalty program). The following table summarises all the known promo codes for hotel reservations and at the time of writing, OCBC cards offer the best deal at 12% off. You will also find year-round promotions (10% off hotel bookings) by most banks here in Singapore.

Read MoreIf you tend to use Expedia for hotel reservations, then you should already know that you can easily save at least 10% with the right promo code. While the usual discount that most credit card companies offer is 10% off, Citibank is currently offering a staggering 15% off eligible hotels for reservations made before the 31 December 2018 - stays have to be consumed before the end of 31 March 2019.
Read MoreYou can easily save up to 10% off eligible hotel bookings made on Expedia with the right promo codes - these are available all year round and you can stack them with ShopBack to earn a lot of cashback (especially if you are planning to spend a bit on hotel stays). If you are currently holding a Mastercard, you will be eligible for a bonus 12% discount code for hotel stays when you book on Expedia. All bookings have to be made by 30 June 2018 and the stay must be consumed by 30 September 2018 (even though it seems to work for dates beyond that unofficially). ShopBack is also currently offering 9% cashback on hotel bookings made on Expedia so this is a great time to stack those two promotions up.
Read MoreHSBC Premier Mastercard holders are eligible for 15% off hotels bookings made on Expedia as well as an instant Expedia+ Gold status which gives you a 30% points bonus on all Expedia Rewards base points as well as an addtional 250 bonus points for +VIP Access hotel stays. Typically, one can hit Expedia+ Gold by booking either 15 room nights a calendar year or by spending S$10,000.
Read MoreWhile most of us elite status-chasers do not use Expedia much (since it does not earn you elite-qualifying nights which contribute towards elite status each year), it can sometimes make sense to consider using Expedia when you are planning to stay in a property that does not belong to a greater loyalty program or one that you have no interest in. What a lot of people do not realise is that most banks in Singapore offer a discount code for hotel reservations made via a specific landing page. At the time of writing, Citibank offers the most generous discount of 15% off all participating properties where the 'Expedia Rate' is available - there is also only a one-night minimum stay for this promo code.
