Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on July 18, 2023 Expedia Group’s newly launched One Key is a first-of-its-kind travel rewards initiative that includes hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, and flights in one program. To celebrate, the travel tech company is gifting one winner $60,000 in its "Unlock a Year’s Worth of Travel with One Key” contest, which kicks off July 18. That’s exactly why Expedia Group has taken three of its flagship brands — Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo — and built one unifying rewards program called One Key. It launched on July 17 in the U.S. Members can earn the newly dubbed OneKeyCash, which is redeemable across all three platforms. To show how powerful those dollars are, the winner will receive their travel credits in the form of $5,000 OneKeyCash deposited into their accounts monthly for a year. Courtesy of Expedia “One Key is a game-changing rewards program for the travel industry and we wanted to celebrate this moment with our loyal Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo social media communities,” a spokesperson for Expedia Group Brands told Travel + Leisure, calling the OneKeyCash prize “the gift that keeps on giving.” To enter, U.S. residents who are at least 18 years old need to follow Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo on Instagram. On July 18, each of the accounts will post a contest message saying: “What trip would you most like to unlock and why and include the hashtags #OneKey and #contest in your comments.” Entrants must have a public Instagram account and the comments must be made between July 18 at 11 a.m. ET and July 22 at 2:59 a.m. ET. The company also shared a word of advice: “Hot tip, you can enter once per brand at @expedia, @vrbo, @hotelsdotcom to nab yourself three entries into the draw,” the spokesperson said. They also reminded travelers not to stall since the entry period is only for four days. “The beauty of One Key is the flexibility, there are endless possibilities,” they said. “Our lucky winner can use their $60,000 OneKeyCash across eligible hotels, vacation rentals, flights, car rentals, and more across our family of brands. We hope it’s the most epic year of travel they can imagine.
