How to book hotel without paying first?

With Expedia's Book Now Pay Later you don't pay for your rooms until you arrive at the property. Rooms booked in advance are guaranteed for your stay but are only paid for once you check in. If anything comes up to keep you from your vacation, you won't be charged for missing or modifying your reservations.
