General Help and Questions » Coupon code / pay by check discount

Feature Requests » Add a picklist option when creating a custom field.

General Help and Questions » Will Vrbo API integration force me to switch from Vrbo annual subscription to pay-per-booking?

No, normally going to the API will not force the switch to PPB, even though it sounds like it will.  But if it does, you can just call up Vrbo IPM tech support and get them to put you back, if you we…

Feature Requests » Can steps be combined for deleting an inquiry/quote/contact?

The system is not designed for you to delete this data, it's intended to preserve it.  So, no, we don't want to streamline this.

General Help and Questions » Block-off dates show "booked" on calendar widget

No, and this is intentional - you don't want it publicly known what dates are actually occupied by a guest, vs blocked for some other reason.  That's tempting to thieves.

General Help and Questions » Reverting Back to Non-Professional Host on Airbnb

No, that's not actually controlled from inside OwneRez - you'll have to work with Airbnb also to get that switched back in their system, if they're willing.
