Open any listing and use Submit Offer. Choose your dates and party size, enter the amount you want to offer, and add a message if it helps your case.
Submitting an offer is not a reservation and does not hold the dates. It does not charge you, and Vaytoven never asks you for card details to make one.
The listing member sees your offer on their dashboard with the dates, party size and amount. They can accept or decline. Every offer expires 24 hours after it is submitted, so you are never left waiting indefinitely — if nothing happens, it lapses and you are free to look elsewhere.
You can see every offer you have sent, and its current status, on your dashboard.
