Expedia is a big rip-off

Booked a trip to Orlando through Expedia last weekend and ended up with several charges both from the airline carriers and the car rental. Ended up closing my credit card and disputed everything except the seat upgrades, My card was charged by Sunsouth.com and my flight was on Sprit. It's almost funny, except the time I had to spend correcting the unauthorized charges to my card. Expedia just gives your credit card info out willie nillie. My advice, book direct if possible.
