The first travel rewards program from a major vacation rental platform is here! One Key, the most comprehensive rewards program that we’ve ever created, powers the traveler experience to drive more demand for you.
Welcome to One Key™
Meet our travel rewards program: One Key
Now with the flexibility to earn and use rewards across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, travelers can unlock a world of opportunity — and so can our partners.
It's simple, flexible, and more rewarding for you and your guests.
One rewards program, three brands, countless ways to benefit.
We're constantly looking for ways to improve the travel experience. By bringing our traveler brands together to create a single program, guests have the freedom to earn and use rewards across various eligible elements of a trip. This means more visibility with valuable travelers for you than ever before. With One Key, you can:
- Maximize revenue potential with Expedia Group-funded OneKeyCash™, our new rewards currency. Members can earn OneKeyCash any way they travel — and they could use it on eligible trips with you.*
- Reach frequent travelers with a program that assesses member eligibility annually (as opposed to providing lifetime membership).
- Increase your exposure to high-value travelers booking across our traveler brands and every type of trip — eligible hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, flights, cruises, and more.
*OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.
Members drove approximately 3x the gross bookings per customer, over 2x the gross profit per customer, and 2x the repeat business versus non-members.

Learn more about the One Key
One Key is the most comprehensive travel rewards program we've ever created. Bringing Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo together within a single travel suite, One Key gives members the freedom to be rewarded any way they travel — on eligible flights, car rentals, hotels, vacation rentals, and more.
Previously, Expedia Group had separate travel rewards programs for Expedia and Hotels.com and no rewards program for Vrbo. These individual programs used different reward structures and offered no ability to earn and use rewards between the two. One Key replaces Expedia Rewards and Hotels.com Rewards and introduces a first-ever rewards program to Vrbo.
Not only can travelers earn rewards with our three brands — Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo — they can earn across different trip products too: eligible hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, flights, cruises, and more. One Key also introduces OneKeyCash, the new rewards currency travelers can earn as a percentage of purchases, which can then be used to discount eligible future travel when booking on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.* One Key brings Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo under one simple, easy-to-use, and flexible travel rewards program.
*OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.
One Key launched in the U.S. in July 2023, with additional markets to follow starting in 2024. Our other travel rewards programs will remain in place in any market where One Key has yet to launch.
No, partners are automatically included as part of this change and do not need to take any action to take advantage of the increased demand created by One Key.

OneKeyCash redemption is only available to properties using USD currency and those not integrated with property management software.
