Industry Insights
Triad Vacation Rentals has partnered with Crewdogs, a U.S. veteran-founded platform built exclusively for the military community. Every property is ID-verified, every booking supports veteran causes, and military families automatically receive 15-25% discounts.
If you're a property owner with us, your property is already live on this platform. You don't need to do anything. Your property is already there, reaching thousands of military families during PCS moves, graduations, and well-deserved vacations.
This partnership means something more than just another booking channel. It's about supporting those who serve our country.
Here's what that means for you.
Crewdogs is a military-discounted marketplace founded by U.S. veterans, built by the military community, and exclusively serving U.S. military members, veterans, National Guard, spouses, and their families.
What makes Crewdogs different:
This isn't just a booking platform. It's a military community supporting each other through travel.
At Triad Vacation Rentals, we believe in multi-channel distribution—but not all channels are equal. Crewdogs represents something beyond bookings and revenue. It's about serving those who've served us.
Military families face unique challenges: frequent PCS moves, temporary duty assignments, graduations at military academies, and finding trusted places to stay during transitions. Crewdogs was built specifically for these needs.
When you list with Triad, your property reaches military families who need quality, trusted accommodations. Every booking helps support veteran causes. That's impact beyond occupancy rates.
Unlike traditional OTAs where anyone can book, Crewdogs requires military ID verification through ID.me. That means:
Crewdogs is another distribution channel alongside Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. Different platforms reach different guests:
Triad's dynamic pricing strategy analyzes demand across all platforms. Adding Crewdogs gives us one more data point to optimize your rates, maximize occupancy, and increase revenue—while serving U.S. military families.
Setup was handled entirely by our team. Triad's properties on Crewdogs went live automatically through our property management system, and bookings flow through our normal operations.
Take this property in Greensboro as an example. It's now available to thousands of U.S. military families through Crewdogs, offering automatic discounts and trusted accommodations during PCS moves, graduations, or family vacations.
Same property. Same professional Triad management. Just reaching a community that deserves our support.
Military families book differently than typical vacation travelers. They need accommodations for:
Your property now reaches this specific, loyal demographic.
ID-verified military guests bring accountability. Military culture values respect, discipline, and taking care of others' property. That translates to:
Every Crewdogs booking supports veteran causes like the Gary Sinise Foundation (supporting wounded veterans) and Fisher House Foundation (providing housing for military families during medical treatments).
Your property generates income and supports those who've served. That's meaningful impact.
Not every property manager offers access to military-specific platforms. Some list only on Airbnb. Others focus on VRBO. Triad lists your property on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Crewdogs, AND our direct booking site. That's five ways U.S. military families and other guests can find your property.
Listing on Crewdogs signals your support for the military community. Many property owners value this alignment—it's not just business; it's purpose.

Adding Crewdogs isn't random—it's part of our broader multi-channel distribution strategy.
We don't set one price and forget it. Triad's dynamic pricing system analyzes demand signals from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Crewdogs, and direct bookings to optimize rates in real-time. More channels = better pricing intelligence.
Crewdogs discounts are applied automatically on their platform, so your base rate remains optimized across all other channels.
Different platforms serve different needs:
We tailor our approach to each platform, ensuring your property performs well everywhere.
Relying on one or two platforms is risky. Algorithm changes, fee increases, or policy shifts can tank bookings overnight. By distributing properties across multiple channels, we protect your revenue from platform-specific volatility.
Crewdogs adds a unique layer: ID-verified U.S. military guests reduce risk of fraud, damages, and refund abuse.
We monitor which channels drive the most bookings, highest revenue, and best guest quality. If Crewdogs excels with military families during PCS season, we adjust our strategy accordingly. Data drives decisions.
If you're active duty military, we offer special discounts beyond what's available on Crewdogs. Reach out to us directly or book through Crewdogs to access these benefits.
We're grateful for your service, and we want to make your stay more affordable.
No. Your property is already live. Triad Vacation Rentals manages everything on the backend—listing optimization, pricing, availability, and booking management.
No. The 15-25% discount is applied by Crewdogs, not taken from your payout. You set your base rate, and Crewdogs handles the discount structure. Plus, reaching a new demographic means additional bookings you wouldn't have otherwise.
Yes. ID verification through ID.me, combined with military culture values (respect, discipline, accountability), results in higher-quality guests. We've seen fewer damages and disputes with verified military bookings.
Crewdogs charges just 2% booking fees—significantly lower than most platforms. This keeps costs down for military families while maintaining your revenue.
Yes. If you prefer not to be listed on Crewdogs, contact your account manager. But we recommend staying—it's a low-risk, high-impact channel that supports a community that deserves our gratitude.
Even a small percentage increase matters. If Crewdogs contributes 3-5% of bookings during PCS season or military graduations, that's additional revenue you wouldn't have otherwise. Plus, it costs you nothing to be there.
A special thank you to Matthew Hamlett and the Crewdogs team. As a U.S. veteran-founded company, Crewdogs embodies the values we admire: service, trust, and community at crewdogs.com.
Your property is already live on Crewdogs. No action needed—just watch or military family bookings in your reporting. Questions about Crewdogs bookings? Your account manager can help.
