EXPEDIA* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Expedia processes payments for flight, hotel, or vacation package bookings, their billing system transmits a shortened identifier to your bank rather than the full company name, which is why you see "EXPEDIA*" on your statement. The asterisk following the descriptor is a standard payment processing convention used by Expedia to separate the brand name from any additional transaction details, such as a booking reference or service type, that may appear after it depending on your bank's character display limit. If you recently booked travel through Expedia and notice a charge around $200.00, this descriptor is the expected confirmation that your reservation payment was successfully processed.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Expedia. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
