It's not just individual hotels that are offering special Gas Rebates. Now Expedia is getting in on the game.
All travelers have to do is book three or more nights at a select hotel by this Friday, and they'll receive a $50 gas card.
The Expedia site has a list of suggestions for road-trippin' hotels like the Kona Kai resort in San Diego; the Hotel ZaZa in Houston, and the Hotel Blake in Chicago.
The gas card actually comes in a prepaid Mastercard that is redeemable at almost any gas station but must be used by August 31, 2008. Travel also must be booked by this Friday, May 16 and stays must be completed by September 30th.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is back in theaters on May 22 and boys and girls aged 25+ are getting geeked out about the return of their favorite adventurer.
And what better way to emulate Indy then take an adventure of your own that goes beyond building a fort in the family rec room?
Expedia is making it easy with their new Indiana Jones promotion, having created custom tours to 10 locations that either appeared in or were inspired by the Indy movies. Here's a few:
Horseback riding in Petra, Jordan (like in "The Last Crusade"); Elephant safari in India (like in "Temple of Doom"); visiting Incan ruins in Peru (like in the new movie, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull")
If you somehow weren't totally freaked out as a little kid by the "pulling-out-the-beating-heart" scene in "Temple of Doom" (we were) and want to go to India, here's what's in store for you.

Wondering what to do with all that nifty US Treasury money headed your way? Don't pay off your credit card, or plop it into a CD. Instead spend it on a spring getaway offer and Expedia will chip in $200 toward the total.
Expedia's "Explore America" $200 Coupon is valid with five-night offers, including airfare and hotel, as long as the tab comes to $1800. There's a huge array of participating markets, from Stowe and Oahu to Los Angeles.
If you're headed to Vegas, you high roller, the hotel rates are as low as $50 a night at participating hotels, including The Palms Casino Resort, and The Riviera Hotel & Casino.
Watch out for the fine print, though. "Travel must be booked by April 21 and completed by May 31, 2008." (Yes, this means your trip has to end by 5/31 to get the deal.) Rates are offered per person, double occupancy, natch.
Duly note that the offer extends to Expedia US members only -- a lot of people use Expedia without being members, so be sure to register with them first to qualify for the discount.
And although they stipulate that your trip has to be five nights or more, the website prominently promotes their 3-night deals on the very same page. However, the $200 coupon isn't valid for those.
