Hi Anna,
Airbnb's current platform doesn't support the creation of custom discounts that guests can select during the booking process, such as those for military personnel or teachers. However, as a host, you can offer personalized discounts to specific guests by sending them a Special Offer. Here's how you can manage this:
Communicate with the Guest: Add on your listing description that your property honor certain profession for a certain amount of discount. When a guest inquires about a stay and mentions their eligibility for a discount (e.g., military service or teaching profession), you can discuss the details and agree upon a discounted rate.
Send a Special Offer: After agreeing on the discount, you can send the guest a Special Offer through Airbnb's messaging system. This offer will reflect the agreed-upon price and can be accepted by the guest to confirm the booking.
Verify Eligibility: To ensure the discount is appropriately applied, you might request proof of eligibility, such as a military ID or teaching credentials, during your communication with the guest.
While this method requires direct interaction and isn't as streamlined as an automated discount option, it allows you to offer personalized discounts to guests who qualify.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Upfish Management
