Release Notes

June 2025 – Latest update

1) A simplified way to sign in:

We're simplifying the way your account works on the Travel Creator Program (previously known as the Affiliate Program) and across Expedia Group's family of brands, including Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.

With our new universal sign-in functionality, you will need only one username and password to access many of our Expedia Group partner and traveler sites. With your Travel Creator account credentials, you will also be able to:

• Sign in to your traveler accounts on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo and access our Creator Toolbox functionality on the mobile app
• Access any other Partner’s account you may have on Expedia Group Console, Expedia Partner Central (‘EPC’), Media Solutions Ad Portal (‘MeSo’)

When our universal sign-in launches, here's what to look out for:

1. You'll receive an email with access instructions
2. If you already have an Expedia Group account on a traveler site (Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Vrbo.com, etc.) that matches your Travel Creator Program (Affiliate Program) account:
   • Simply sign in with the same credentials
3. If you don't have an Expedia Group account at all:
   • An account will be automatically created for you
   • You'll need to:
     • Set a password (can be the same if it matches the requirements)
     • Provide your mobile number for security
     • Verify your email with a one-time password
4. Managing separate accounts:
   • If you already use different email addresses for Traveler and Travel Creator Program accounts, they'll remain separate
   • If you prefer keeping your accounts separate, you can either:
     • Update the email address on your Traveller account, or
     • Request a change to your Travel Creator Program account email
