Boost your Vrbo bookings

[John Underwood]

Got this from Vrbo recently and I just turned this on as well as a last-minute booking discount.

Want to get ahead of the curve and fill your calendar early?

Now’s a great time to activate an Early Booking Promotion for your listing on Vrbo. These promotions are designed to attract planners—guests booking 60+ days in advance—and can help you secure longer stays well ahead of time.

Here’s why it’s worth it:

• More visibility – Get a special “Early Booking” badge in search results with 5% off or more.
• More control – Fill your calendar earlier and avoid last-minute gaps.
• Drive urgency – Reach travelers actively planning future trips by creating limited-time promotion they'll want to book now - not later.

You can set it up anytime under Calendar > Settings > Promotions in your Vrbo Owner account.

any idea on how this is handled with channel managers?

It’s not. I use OwnerRez and it is frustrating the discounts don’t move over to VRBO like they do Airbnb. I was hoping to set up last minute or early discounts in VRBO but no dice. Maybe other PMS’s?

 I use OR also. apparently they are working on it.
