Hi Sarah, maybe I will come and visit you in Mexico someday! Well, I was really hot under the collar the other day when the happy little message about my continued super host status showed, and I thought... there goes another $100 dollar voucher that I won't use. Of course I only had the urge to write to Brian, but never for a second thought that even if I did, that he would ever see it, nor did I think that he would cater to my request to be excluded from the whole super host thing.
I have never stressed or made any special effort for super host status, but if a reward is offered, then please let it be more than just one thing. I'm pretty sure that they could just as easily offer a credit card gift card. The International company I worked for did it, along with yearly bonuses. At least one other option for hosts who do not wish to travel...or, let me gift the voucher to another host or friend.
I am old enough to understand manipulation tactics, They don't work for me. We, hosts from around the globe, make Airbnb possible, and I am happy and grateful for the Airbnb platform. If they want to reward me, send me a check. That is simple enough! Sarah, I invite you to visit me in the beautiful Washington DC area. Best, M
