I noticed in the new method of creating Surcharges and Discounts that the position value is no longer an option. Are we moving away from that entirely? by Alece (/forums/users/347386462) – Sep 2, 2025 11:03 PM (UTC)
Thanks, Alece! Not at all. Positions are still available on Supplemental and Advanced Discounts and Surcharges.
Anne, can you clarify how positions will work with the new Surcharges/Discounts then? by Alece (/forums/users/347386462) – Sep 3, 2025 2:28 PM (UTC)

For whatever reason, both bookings have been flagged by Stripe as being fraudulent credit card transactions. I have never had this happen before with any other platform, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with GVR, or if anyone e...

The fine print is always fun:
- Airbnb collects an additional 2% service fee on all bookings of listings with a SuperStrict cancellation policy (under either fee option above).
Anyone knew about that? Those of us being "super strict" and expecting the guest to be insure their own vacation are charged a higher fee in this new "feature".
