What is Expedia Virtual Card?
When a customer reserve a room in hotels, Expedia sends a reservation confirmation to the hotel in which they summarize customer data and the specification of the reservation. After the guests check out, the hotel had to issue an invoice to Expedia, which provided the balance, usually after 30 days.

In fact, along with the data of the customer and booking summary the details of a virtual credit card consists of a number and an expiration date are sent. After the guests check out, the receptionist, through a common POS, provides the Virtual Debit Card and then cashing in immediately the balance of the booking as well as reported in the summary posted by Expedia.

Thanks to Virtual Card, the booking is paid in full immediately upon departure of the customer resulting in savings in human resources.
