`
`In December 2010, listings for AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines and
`American Eagle Airlines, were removed from Expedia's site. The decision resulted from a dispute over
`the degree of access to the site's customers.[4] AMR reversed its decision in April 2011, allowing tickets
`to once again be sold through the aggregate site.
`
`In June 2014, Expedia started accepting bitcoins.[5]
`
`In September 2014, Expedia partnered with Citigroup and created the Expedia+ card where members
`
`can earn bonus points and earn exclusive benefits and priority customer service through the website.[61
