question on pre-approvals

question on pre-approvals

I would like to know if there is a way to review a guest that has sent an enquiry to stay, has been pre-approved, and then let the pre-approval expire after 24 hours with out saying a word.
Sometimes, a genuine looking guest asks to stay, so I pre-approve and block the dates for them.
When they then let the 24 hour period expire without saying anything I have potentially lost out on customers for the dates they had in question. I think we should be able to review requesters to for-warn the hosts who will potentially lose out because of a guests laziness and lack of communication.

@Jacob119 to join the chorus: I just never block the dates for a mere inquiry.

Whoever puts their actual money down first gets the dates.

 

You might call it "brutal", but that's the way it works for everything else.

If I go to the store, and someone buys the last milk before I do, I can't complain and say "well, I was considering buying it first."

Unless I actually buy something, someone else can buy it before me.
