3/22/24 Yesterday morning: Spent 35 minutes getting VRBO system to accept my "Reservation Request" including its obtaining my validated credit card information. At 12:49 p.m., "Your request has been sent: look for a response within 24 hours. In the meantime, keep track of your booking status in My Trips."Approximately 24 hours later, REJECTED. Took a SCREEN IMAGE photo of the listing still showing available. Spent hour getting through to Call Center and spent lengthy time on telephone. Call Center could not find a reason except that the HOST Lauren Dembeck may have failed to indicate availability, YET the listing yesterday and today, 3/23/24, still shows available. at 14:16 Host stated she received a booking TODAY 3/23/24 and booked it and now has taken the listing down.SEE ALSO MADDIEB’s review of VRBO and delayed bookings with resulting paying for two.
