Airbnb discounts

Hello, how do people get Airbnb discounts? I can't find any discount codes. They used to send out vouchers by email but nothing for a while. Anyone know of any prepaid gift cards that save some money?

It's very rare to see discounts Airbnb discounts these days although I don't tend to use them due to their business structure, particularly in relation to hidden fees and that a completely unregulated company is keeping money from the time of booking instead of a few days before.

That said, the time one I have stayed in a property they broker (not booked by me) the experience was positive one.

It's very often possible within a few minutes of searching to find the same property cheaper on other booking sites, so this could act as an effective discount

You are right, putting the hotel into Google brings up lots of comparisons which usually cut out the fee charged by Airbnb. 

Sometimes I forget the smallest things to save money! I've used Airbnb very positively before just trying to do my trip on a budget. 

I booked a £8.42 flight last night, got £8.40 cashback so paid 2p return to Italy

Try the cheapest private room with good reviews that meets your requirements on Booking, you won't go far wrong. If you have a Wizz account you can get money off tickets back in addition. I've done this for years and it's always worked well.
