So this would block all your synced calendars as well. And what does the owner get to do? Dump them too if another booking from another platform comes in?
HahaâŚyeah, whereâs my cooling off period when a more attractive booking comes through within the next 24 hours?

Can you even imagine if we were given the same opportunity?
âOwner has the right to cancel your reservation (for the next 24 hrs.) if they like another group more than yoursâ - Sheesh!

They totally prey on us! And on the guest!

Iâm thinking it is a marketing decision. What one thing can they offer the guests that Air doesnât have! A 24-hour right to change their mind.
All airlines offer this too, by the way, by federal law. They just donât advertise it. If you book a flight and you change your mind (or make an error) you can cancel without penalty or commission within 24 hours. Watch places like Expedia or Travelocity (NEVER use them!) they will try to keep the commission, even though they are not entitled to it.

Their site is down! Everyone is probably trying to read the new TOS to make sure there arenât more things they are dropping on us!
Yes, I have trying to get in!!
@sandytoes - I canât log in this second but I was having trouble finding the guest detail to see where the inquiry originated. I wonder if your dashboard is any different since you are on subscription.
I did see a section to view guest contact info - but I only saw name and email address. I will check again. BTW - which page are you scrolling down on to see âguest detailâ? Are you just opening up from the messaging inbox and clicking on the guest name?
The guest details appears on the inquiry form that comes in as an email from âtripadvisor Rentalsâ. I do not click on the guestâs name or any other link, nor do I need to go to the DashboardâŚitâs all there on the face of the emailed form.
First, it says I have a new inquiry, and below that it reads:
Reply Now:
You Earn: $_____ (this figure is always less than my actual take)
Guests: (my max is 2, so it will always read 1 or 2)
Dates: (their selected dates)
âŚfollowing that is:
Guest details:
Ph. No. (full no.)
Email: (full e-address)
Sent via: TripAdvisor ⌠or FlipKey
âŚthen the guestâs message to me appears in a box directly below.
And thatâs it.
(Sorry, Iâve never learned how to do screen shots.)
OkâŚthanks for clarifying. I just looked at a recent inquiry that came through my email and didnât see any of that info. I am guessing they just have the entire âguest detailsâ removed since I am not allowed to see that info anywayâŚ
Edited: Just to clarify - the inquiry does show the first part of your info with âyou earnâ etc., just not the second part.
OH gosh, I donât see that either.
It may be as cabin suspects, itâs because neither of you are on the old subscription plan. You both are governed by FlipKnee until all the fun fees are paid.
Do any of you know if there is a way to set up the rates so that my Fridays and Sundays stay together?
I donât have a set turnover day, but for certain months (like Spring time) - I would like to keep the min. night stay at 2 days, but not allow someone to break up Fri and Sat.
What I donât want is someone taking only Thurs. and Fri. since Thurs. is cheaper. And then it may difficult to book that Sat.
Can you just do it manually? They do have a way to set seasonal rates, I wonder if you can do that with the weekend thing too?
Yes, thatâs what I was asking. I am playing in the seasonal rates section and havenât come across a way to do that, without setting up a new seasonal rate for every single Friday and Sat.
Yeah that is what I mean by manually. I donât know why they donât have a feature that allows you set weekends as blocks for minimum rentals. Friday through Sunday but leave the remainder intact for two day minimums.
