Lay My Hat

We are going to try out PMP for a revised website. Would an existing user be kind to share a referral code.

Thanks in advance, PJ

Sorry, forgot to add IMHO to that bit. And really was just an opinion. Casscat, agree with everything you state - or at least the essence of it. Ultimately there has to be substance. The fact is, whenever there is finance freely available it will get punted. Why not go for the one that has the ball ...

Agreed Casscat, the name doesn't always convey the service offered. However, right now we only see positives for all of us. Airbnb has massive currency, exposure and recognition - worldwide. They've single handedly made it fashionable to visit pretty much anywhere and for all types of accom. Their p...

Don't underestimate the power of Airbnb's advertising budget, goodwill they've generated and ability to flood news sources. Its free advertising for us. When was the last time you saw a news story on TV where Expedia, Booking.com or TA were offering a bed for rent in a shark's tank? The story was ma...

Just a comment on the verifications. We ran for several months un verified (we'd done phone an email only)and in that time we had several guests. Then we had a few requests that had no verifications (many haven't) which made us a little nervous, having relied on the comments left by previous hosts. ...

We've been listed on Wimdu for 6 months but so far nothing. Their commission levels (what they add on) are too high making our props seem expensive. In fact every time we login, there is a big message urging us to reduce our rates!! We are big AB fans for many reason but one thing they do especially...

One other thing related to our experience with Booking.com. We had 1 booking/reservation from a nice family and friends. The lead guy used BC lots for work hence trying them when he needed a last minute place to stay. He provided his credit card details that came via the BC system, we responded that...

We tried last year and had a woeful experience. Many, many phone calls, many unkept promises, useless responses, obstructive attitude. We really wanted it to work but we gave up. Funnily, something worked well and speedily, the deactivation, no "why are you leaving, please stay.....". Felt...

We are certain it's happening. We have an apartment on commission and the enquiries go to junk (our response rate got downgraded because we didn't notice and notifications were not working) and after replying we hear nothing and no alternative way to follow up. We also have the apartment on AB (effe...

We've noticed that the majority of HL messages go to Junk. This includes the enquiries, confirmation of reply, quote expiry reminders, and final expiry notifications. So pretty much all. HL were contacted several times and they gave the pretty standard reply: flag messages (train email prog) as not ...

Fortunately, as commission based subscribers, we do not pay to advertise at TA so we could not care whether they get us bookings or not. So this means a HL or FK listing is now a kind of mandatory thing to get and maintain TA reviews, for its research value. We are a paid listing on HL because we d...

Buonasera tutti, pretty sure this has been covered before, though having searched the forum nothing found. We just tried to put through a test request on TripAdvisor and we were forced to register, otherwise our request was not sent. Now, we remember sometime ago the US TA (.com) introduced this req...

Nemo, thanks for the contribution. Over the years we've had many emails encouraging us to upgrade. We keep checking our positioning on all HA sites and there's never a compelling reason to do it. The link on the new OD was interesting reading. Everything said "HomeAway is coming". Will the...

We've been exploring getting an OD listing to complement our main HL & HA listings. We thought that OD being in the HA family and we are already listed on the HomeAway.com site we could sync details and calendar. Turns out is not possible and we would have to maintain two listings. On speaking w...

Hi Tremewan,

Just sent you a PM re. OD discount code.

Thanks, PJ
