Summary

Lydia Patel advises against automatically opting into the 20% discount promotion offered by Airbnb and VRBO for new listings. While it may seem like a quick way to gain visibility and bookings, new listings already receive an organic boost in search rankings. The discount could lead to a significant loss in revenue for not a significant benefit.
