military discount

we have a military person requesting a discount because his per-diem is lower.  does airbnb offer any discount for military personnel?

 

i am aware i can give him a discount from my end but i don't wish to do that since my price is already discounted.  just wondering if airbnb would cut their fees.

It would be up to the guest to ask Airbnb to discount their fees, @Sunyong0, and it is highly unlikely. There are no company discounts for veterans or military personel or firefighters or pensioners or anyone really. Only infants and pets get a free ride 🙂

If he is travelling on a per diem for work, and it is capped, he will have to find someplace to stay that is less gorgeous than yours. 

Nothing obliges you to further discount your own price, as you have noted.

https://www.id.me/  does the leg work for vendors in vetting/confirming military or vets who may qualify for discounts.

I'll discount my rate for my military family any day of the week.

Wow… it amazes me at how we fight for our country, some of us end up in pretty bad shape, and we’re looked down on for asking about a military discount.  YIKES…

We don't advertise a military discount, but if someone inquires, we offer a 10% discount off the nightly rate. We will adjust the price before or after the booking. We don't get the request very often, but we are more than happy to give back to those who have given up so much for us. 

I want to offer a discount to military and first responders as well.   I do not believe they can provide a copy of their ID before booking?  How do you adjust the price after they've booked?
