    Some random chud with 10k followers? Honestly feel like this is engagement farming considering the post is without zero context. Some random person saying in Jax sent them this picture and story for him to post?

    This is funny and a good shot at AirBnB, but don't most places list on both sites? Does VBRO restrict excessive rules or something? I've rented on both and never noticed a difference in places. AirBnB's interface just fells easier so usually go there

    I always thought it was funny that VRBO never got the hate that AirBnB does. It's literally the same company with the same listings. If a host fucks someone over on one they are probably doing it to guests on the other.

    Glad you're using them interchangeably now.

    Does VRBO vet their listings a little more, or is that just made up?

    Airbnb is prob better for guests because standard (like if the host doesn't designate otherwise) cancellation is better on Airbnb for guests than VRBO and VRBO's platform is dogshit and makes everything harder as a host. Like I had to reimburse a guest for cancelling a day of their stay and it's simple and quick on Airbnb and I've never had an issue and with VRBO their app regularly kicks out error messages.

    I figured it out but couldn't do it all at once. P sure Airbnb's cut is smaller, as well, but not 100% on that. Haven't looked recently. Not a VRBO fan when comparing the two platforms.

    I mean IDK, but every time I look it is literally the same listings. Everyone I know that had an investment STR listed on both and had tools that kept the calendar in sync

    Have yall ever booked 2 seperate airbnb properties during the same timeframe? I did that and got my account shutdown. They wont tell me anything other than that. Just that "i violated their terms of service" i even appealed it explaining the circumstances and it was denied.

    Had 2 weeks booked in montana for a job. Had to head to Vegas 4 days into booking for a meeting and to look over another job. Got a place for 3 days there then i was gonna return to Montana. Every booking got cancelled.

    Im trying to setup for a business account that allows multiple bookings.

    You have to do the airbnb for work, which it sounds like you're already working on. When I do multiple bookings it has to be for different employees that are added to the account, you should ask them if what you're wanting to do is allowed because even with a work account, I'm not sure that it is.

    I know I’ve said this before but I don’t really have much against KState. The Snyders used to come to family events so it was kind of whatever in terms of rivalry for me

    my city puts on a big show on the 3rd every year. idk why it’s just when they do it. my house is two blocks from the show so we have people over for burgers and beers and walk down there and have a generally great time. every year NPR gets mad about it because he lives two hours away and can’t come
