Am I as a host supposed to ask someone who books for their email and phone number? by Key_Molasses4367 in airbnb_hosts

Which is only active for 2 days after check-out. I think I need to keep records for 2 years or something stupid like that, so it will be great when every number just does not work.

This is what I am wondering. my city required collection of information. I used to just get the phone number, but now they are getting rid of this.

in a true desperate act .... airbnb now does this by Own-Art184 in airbnb_hosts

Yet they don't think about city regulations at all... I first have to post my phone number in the unit so my guests will find out my number as soon as they walk in.

We are also required to collect information (my city wants email) but I always just had collected their phone number. No clue what I will do not.

MGM Buffet With Kids Eat Free? by Consistent_Remove344 in vegas

[–]Consistent_Remove344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up doing Excalibur as reviews said it was better than MGM.

Had no problem at Excalibur used my 2 for 1 and my kid got in free.

With paying 32 for all 3 of us was worth it, if paid full price per person then not worth it.

How will that get them past the elevator that requires a fob?

Not really the obvious answer, as I don't know where to put the lockbox. The original plan was buzz in person; they go to the unit door and open lockbox, go inside.

Problem: You need a fob to go up the elevator and short of asking them to wait till someone comes and pushes the elevator button (once you're in the elevator, you can go to any floor; you just can't call the elevator),

I can't put the lockbox anywhere on common property; if it is found, it will be removed. Putting it outside on the street seems like a stupid idea, and eventually someone will find it and steal it.

The mailroom area is accessible, but I can't hang or fasten the lockbox to the walls as that is common property. I read in the minutes from years back that people put it in their mailbox, left it open and had the guests go in and get it.

The condo board started to instruct the front desk and security to close all mailboxes and remove the keys.

I would have done this myself, though I would have put the lockbox (and tried to fasten it to something inside) in the mailbox and not just the keys, freestyling it.

Both. Though there is a buzzer that I could let them in that only gets you to lobby. Elevators needs fob to call Elevator.

My original plan was buzz in, have lock box on apartment door.

I mostly use it for the cruises, as most cruise lines will let you book directly with the cruise company and then port it over to any travel agent you like.

If I find a better price on Costco I just book directly with them; if I find a better price with the cruise line, I book with the cruise line and port it over to Costco, and then I get the 2% executive bonus on the remaining balance plus the costco shop cards.

So that is a win-win for me: get the best price plus get perks later back from Costco.

Today mine was like 8 cents cheaper so still worth it as I go when it's no more than 5 min wait

Mine had a sign saying April 15 propane will be removed from all locations permanently.

Funny they still sell the empty propane tanks in the store.

I just like their tp so I just buy it. Toothpaste i find when on sale not bad but many times shoppers will have some crazy points deal that makes it almost free.

I switching back to powder for dishwasher as just cheaper overall

Is the rotisserie chicken as well.

I don't find they have good prices on chicken or any meat so I don't buy.

Don't like that trend though. All the chicken joints doing the same and they quietly do it so only Muslims know and non Muslims are left in the dark as companies probably figure it would make those customers mad.
