'''<span style="color: #7aab0a;" >{{#fas:plus-square}} </span>New Feature: Airbnb Top-Rated Guest Discount </span> '''
Airbnb is introducing the '''Top-Rated Guest Discount''' — a new promotion that lets hosts offer 15% off to top-rated guests, boosting listing visibility in Airbnb search while Airbnb runs a dedicated guest-facing marketing campaign starting from 9th of July.
'''Why it matters for your listings:''' * ~5% more gross booking value * ~6% more nights booked * ~15% higher chance of a top-rated guest booking
The discount applies to the nightly rate only; it can be combined with other active discounts and does not affect pending or confirmed reservations when removed.
'''To activate in Beds24:''' Channel Manager > Airbnb > Promotions > Top-rated guests discount

'''<span style="color: #7aab0a;" >{{#fas:plus-square}} </span>New Feature: Bulk Copy VRBO Promotions</span> '''
We've added a new time-saving feature for properties managing VRBO promotions — you can now bulk copy an existing VRBO promotion to multiple VRBO-connected rooms or properties in one step.
Simply use the '''copy icon''' in the promotions list to duplicate any existing VRBO promotion and apply it to the properties of your choice. Each copy is created as a standalone promotion on the selected property — giving you full flexibility to adjust individual copies independently after creation.
*'''Quick setup''' — copy once, apply to multiple VRBO-connected properties simultaneously
*'''Independent copies''' — each promotion is created separately; later changes to the original do not affect the copies

Early Bird Discount  
'''Early Bird Discount'''


A percentage discount for guests who book 1–36 months in advance. Bookings with this set had lead times approximately 2.6x longer on average. Particularly worth activating for listings with availability well in advance, larger-group properties, or harder-to-fill units. Don’t leave future calendar dates unoptimised.

Last Minute Discount  
'''Last Minute Discount'''


A discount for guests booking within a defined window before arrival. Listings with this enabled are estimated to generate ~2% more bookings and ~2% more gross booking value over the following year. If you have open dates coming up, this is one of the fastest ways to improve fill rate.
