Expedia on Bitcoin
Oops! There is nothing here yet.
Four years later, in 2018, Expedia discreetly stopped its acceptance of Bitcoin as a valid payment method across its range of services. A spokesperson verified this decision, stating that the company would start refraining from accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. This move marked a significant shift in Expedia's payment policies and raised questions about the future of cryptocurrencies in mainstream commercial transactions.
Spokesperson Michael Gulmann told his customers that Expedia 'offers customers hotel prices in U.S. dollars with an option to pay in bitcoin. We then rely on Coinbase, our bitcoin payment processor, to handle the bitcoin transactions.' He carried on, 'We're continually looking at ways consumers want to pay for their travel; Bitcoin is a great example of how Expedia is investing early in an array of payment options to give our customers and partners more choice in the way they interact with us.'
