Message Us, But Do NOT Book

1.
Go to the property's listing link. You're going to Send a Message only.
2.
Navigate back to the listing, select the soonest available dates this week and the shortest stay possible (ex: 1–2 nights).
3.
Scroll to the bottom of the listing page and click Message Host.
4.
Send a message with these key elements (wording can vary):
Mention you are a First Responder / Nurse / Doctor / EMS / etc (optional, Airbnb will be less likely to flag the discount)
State that you need a discount.
Mention you are working in the city/town/area.
Include a group of 4-6 people will be staying and age range.
Add fluff about how the property is perfect.

Example Message:

Hello! I'm working in [LOCATION] & saw your listing was new. Would a discount be possible while I work in the area as a first responder? The house is beautiful! I have four people I'm bringing with ages 20-40 years old.
5.
Hit "Send message". Then move to Step 3.

Notify Triad (Guest Support)

Inform Triad Guest Support.
Triad will send a special offer for a lower nightly to these inquiries to help convert them into early bookings.
Triad will not charge any management fee for these stays.
The booking will need to be reflected in the Owner statement and Triad will refund the Owner directly.

Inform Cleaners & Cancel Cleans

If you're not actually staying, let your cleaner know the stays are for review generation and guests will not actually arrive.
Triad is not responsible for informing your cleaner.
Cancel any scheduled cleans for those dates to avoid unnecessary costs.

Why This Works?

Activity Signals Boost Rankings

Airbnb and VRBO reward listings with high engagement early on. Even inquiries without bookings help improve search placement.

Tiered Pricing Advantage

Prices ramp up once listings surpass three 5-star reviews. Getting these early accelerates revenue growth.

Social Proof Loop

Bookings from trusted friends/family are more likely to leave perfect reviews.

Compounding Visibility

Higher placement + competitive pricing = more inquiries → more bookings → more reviews.

No Triad Fee

100% of the benefit goes toward the owner's growth.
