Just wanted to update for anyone else curious about Expedia. The actual hotel stay was booked and paid for in full on 7/23. The stay was completed on 7/24 and my credit posted on 7/28.

I think I'm really going to like Expedia credits for raising my SR balance. DH uses Expedia all the time. His secretary books all of his group rate travel, but I told him to start letting me book all of his individual travel for him.

Thanks Sunshine -- it's awesome to get credit for something we would have done anyway.
