This will lower your pricing for guests browsing those exact dates, bypassing the custom p romotion tool."

Useless. This was the final" answers" now when dealing with promotions it's a email that's sent and your SEO Is increased to end up on top. Not just lowering the price which technically can show but not same as the promotion. I explained this but they said they're not sure why and neither can tech support. Now I've had similar over past 7 months. My listings all had the same kitchen table as the main photo and I was given the following answer which made me laugh so hard "Yes, I understand it isn’t selected as the cover photo. Since the cover image is being chosen by our system, we can’t manually update it on our side. It can also vary depending on how the search results algorithm displays your listing when a guest searches."

They claimed it was AI SEO! It's literally a picture of a dinning room table in a shared house. All listings minus 2 had this photo. (2/7). Is it just me? Conspiracy theories?

Also sorry about the format. The quotes are literally me copy pasta over!
