458. Hosting Hotline: Can I Still Use StayFi with Airbnb’s New Rules?
Airbnb’s new Off-Platform and Fee Transparency Policy has left a lot of hosts wondering: Can you still use tools like StayFi to collect guest emails?
Today on the Hosting Hotline, Natasha calls in with a smart and timely question—and we bring in the best person to answer it: Arthur Colker, CEO of StayFi.
In this episode, we cover:
- How Airbnb’s updated policy affects communication and guest data collection
- What it means to have guests “opt in” under the new rules
- Why StayFi’s WiFi marketing and email tools are still compliant (and important!)
