This looks interesting and I am going to do it. It is more cost effective than buying both HA and VRBO seperately.
I am supposed to renew my VRBO listing Sept 2. I hope I receive info on this prior to doing so. I currently list on both and was considering dropping one because of costs. HomeAway doesn't fair so well for me (I get plenty of inquiries but fewer bookings). But for the right price I would do both. Is there a link?
No, it came to me as an email. I bet you will see one very soon.
Now I am looking at $1000 per year for one add but two sites.....I think
I don't see any way to get to a cost of $1000 for 2 sites. The chart that is shown is fairly difficult to interpret, but the prices I am seeing add up as follows:
| Upcharge | Upcharge | ||||||
| 1 site | 2 sites | Total | Global | Total | |||
| Platinum | $999 | $249 | $1,248 | $349 | $1,348 | ||
| Gold | $699 | $249 | $948 | $349 | $1,048 | ||
| Silver | $549 | $249 | $798 | $349 | $898 | ||
| Bronze | $429 | $249 | $678 | $349 | $778 | ||
| Classic | $349 | $249 | $598 | $349 | $698 |
It appears that the slide show on the webpage that you go to from clicking in the email has a typo.
It says
U.S. Bundle + Classic Subscription Level
Savings: $100/year per property (compared to list price of advertising at this level separately on VRBO + HA)
That's actually incorrect. It's $80 or $100 total, not per property for classic level
Currently
VRBO Classic = $349
HA Classic = $329
Total = $678
New US Bundle costs
(for a vrbo only property)
VRBO Classic = $349
US Bundle = $249
Total = 598 (Savings of only $80 total, not $100 per property)
(p.s. this is really no different than the standing $75 off a HomeAway listing I see on the banner of my VRBO account all the time)
or
(for a ha only property)
HA Classic = $329
US Bundle = $249
Total = $578 (Savings of only $100 total, not $100 per property)
I'm pretty sure they aren't going to make us pay for a US bundle so for me, nothing will change, I'll just stay at VRBO.
