Recently, applications for the Citi Expedia card lineup have been closed, and according to letters received by cardholders, the old no-annual-fee Expedia+ card will be converted to Citi Rewards+. The annual-fee Voyager will be converted to Citi Premier. Rewards+ is not a big deal, but if it gets converted to Premier, it could affect your next sign-up bonus, so I recommend closing the Voyager before the forced conversion on October 23.

Citi currently has two Expedia co-branded cards, but the application links for both are already 404s.
It is still unclear whether any other banks will continue to issue co-branded credit cards with Expedia. I think Chase may have some hope, since the Chase portal currently uses Expedia's search engine. And there have also been rumors that Chase wants to build a more comprehensive full-service travel offering, so an acquisition or deep partnership with Expedia would be nice too.
