Why travelers upgrade
- Good Offers go fast. Even a little advance notice about an Offer from a property you love can be the difference between booking it or not.
- 5 one-click Giveaway entries. Every time you click Enter on a Giveaway Page, Premium gives you 5 entries instead of 1. A free entry form is always available on the Giveaway Page as well.
- Let hosts come to you. Host invites often carry special offers that never hit the public listing. Premium travelers can receive more of them, with none waiting in a queue.
- First dibs on cancellations (soon). Some of the best deals appear when hosts scramble to fill a last-minute opening. Premium travelers will know first.
Is it worth it? Three examples
- You got first dibs on an Offer. A cabin you favorited posted 20% off for the last weekend of October. You saw it right away; the dates were gone by the time free users saw it. Saved about $186, which pays for nearly four years of Premium.
- A host sent you an invite. You were browsing Northern Michigan and a host sent a "3 nights for the cost of 2" invite. Saved about $425.
- You won a free stay. One click entered you 5 times, and you won a stay worth about $550.
Any one of these pays for more than a year of membership. Plan on hunting for deals? It is a no-brainer.
