You obviously haven't read the earlier posts. It's a promotion, they're not going to make it easy for you. Do you really think they'll have 1 profile that everyone will follow?

The link posted yesterday worked just now -maybe you should look again.
 
I think unless you have an auto booking script or bot you really don't stand a chance. The tickets are being booked out at sub 30 seconds from time of listing

Yes I agree. I jump on it but it's already gone by the time I put the dates in unfortunately... And I am not Tech savvy enough to use those autobot things or whatever they're called haha

Airbnb are a quality company and from my little research they do not expose an end point for a bot to auto-book via a post, the also limit the amount of requests/refreshes you can make to their site.

A booking bot is extremely difficult - but not impossible but cant be done via the traditional api post method, rather the bot would have to simulate user clicks in a browser which is risky/unstable.

I like to think its a pretty even playing field
 
Hi all - I have been on this from the start on and off each day. I can see links people provide but have never found a listing by searching. Can someone advise why not? My search is Anywhere Stays, $15-30, plane. I am on my laptop. Iphone app a few times same thing.

Someone suggested if the dates have been booked even if the listing link is still up, it won't show up in a search. But I just find it hard to believe I have never found a listing by searching ever. My account is verified.

Any suggestions? Thanks

From what I've seen you are doing everything right - your search parameters are correct. I have the same search settings and using them I have seen at least two listings pop up but I wasn't quick enough to get them.

I don't think my laptop and internet connect are that great so I don't like my chances - but I'm happy to see that a few people on this forum have been successful.

Good luck to all those out there trying!

The only way I have been able to see them is with the check for changes add in on firefox notify me when the search changes. By the time i get into the listing, its gone.
It was only the Shanghai one yesterday that remained visible past it being booked- so unless you happen to refresh within the exact 30seconds or so theyre available- its unlikely you'll see them (and if so- buy a lotto ticket!)

They are usually gone within 10 - 20 seconds... so unless you use auto fresh with alert or stare at your screen all day, chances are you will miss it
 
I have not followed this at all but I was under the impression the top price was supposedly $20, not $30?
