Expedia/Hotels.com/Travelnow/EAN: How do they all fit together?

  • Expedia.com is the website brand for Expedia, Inc.
  • Hotels.com is another brand owned by Expedia, Inc which operates on it's own technology.
  • Travelnow.com is the platform for the Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN). It also is it's own brand owned by Expedia, Inc but is the technology that is built to power affiliate operations including the use of an affiliate template system as well as API services.

EAN operates independently of Expedia (as does Hotels.com) and is a separate technology system accessing Expedia hotel inventory as a product for affiliates to sell within their own systems. EAN affiliates CANNOT connect to Expedia or Hotels.com and must operate within the EAN technology system in it's entirety to be a successful business partner and to earn commissions.

Note that any translated API elements will not work in your application. All API elements must be sent in their original English for the request to be properly recognized.
