New to Air BNB Hosting- Is it possible to let someone book a FREE night as a way to get some free publicity as a give away?

[Shannon788]

Hello!

We are getting closer and closer everyday to finishing up our new property to rent out through air bnb. We have created an instagram page and would really like to do some "give aways" for a free two night stay. But I wasn't sure how to do that through the app so that the guests can still book through Air bnb but they aren't expected to pay anything. Or is that even a thing? 

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

@Shannon788   You are not allowed to provide incentives to get good reviews.  The following link will be of some explanation

However you can do ‘special offers’ as per the following link but do be aware, unless you opt out your first three sets of guests will benefit from a discount anyway.

You can offer 1 or 2 nights for free as part of a longer stay by providing extra discount on a selected time period (by rule set or by custom promotion) or by special offer when a guest sents an inquiry.

But your price per night may not be lower then the minimum (I believe it is $ 10,- / night ?)

@Shannon788   Free equals Partytime!  I offered my property as a prize for my church.  Worst guests EVER.
