Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Prepaid Reservation Fee |

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted. |
|
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Reach new customers using the AppointmentTrader Social Network
This post is here to inform users how to leverage special AT functionality to create posts that result in engagement similar to the metrics shown below:
As you can see above, the post enjoyed an engagement of almost 30% and generated $15k in sales.
While the most important ingredient to a post of course is the content that is generated by the user, leveraging neutral AT functionality will substantially help you make useful posts for others.
1.) Categorization:
When you make a post make sure you select the appropriate forum for the post you want to create – e.g. if it is a post about a certain region, make sure to select the communities for that region, don’t just post to ‘The Best Restaurants’ – otherwise you will miss out on high-intent AT search traffic.
2.) Understand Benefits of Mention Clicks
If a user clicks on your mention and then proceeds to book the venue or service in question within 48 hours of clicking on the mention, the transaction will be tied to your post. If there are other people who mentioned the same place or service and the user clicked on in the 48 hours leading up to the booking the transaction will be tied back to multiple posts.
In that case two things happen:
• If the user created a bid, the people who mentioned the location and had a click from the user will receive a ‘direct hire’ bid for 5 minutes – this is key: If you mention locations or services and the user engages with your post, you’ll have dibs on the contract for 5 minutes!
• If you do not fill the bid but someone else does or a listing is sold you will receive a commission from that sale because of the click on that mention.
3.) Understand how engagement rate and special features technically work.
AT tracks engagement on posts for the following categories
• Likes
• Comments
• Mention Clicks
• Poll Votes
Hyperlinks (e.g. https://google.com) are supported, however clicks on these links do not count as engagement to avoid users being incentivized to link spam on AT.
While not all users can create Polls (you can do this after a certain medal threshold), all users can use mentions – these are powerful as posts will track revenue tied back to clicks on these mentions as mentioned before.
Helpful posts with High Engagement automatically and algorithmically rank on the front page, AppointmentTrader does not endorse or promote individual listings or services.
If your organic engagement on a post is high, they also automatically and algorithmically get distributed to followers of the board you are posting in or to users who have shown interest in the region you have generated transactions in.
This is key: Even if you don’t have a big following you can absolutely reach ten’s of thousands of customers that can book you directly by creating useful posts.
Your way of measuring whats’ useful for customers is to look at your and other posts engagement rate and mention clicks to learn what users in the respective markets are looking for.
4.) Use the mentions!
You can open the mention block by tying the [AT] sign.
You can then either mention a location or a service as follows:
Once you click on it, the tag converts like this:
When clicked the mention opens a custom concierge request with the content you entered, you can try it here: book a hotel in cabo
Tip: You can test the mentions in your support chat, or in the comments here!

💋 Just the Tip 💄
A little advice can go a long way — especially when you know where to put it.
Maybe it’s corny, but it gets the job done. 🌽
Who wants to play? I’m sharing the kind of tips that matter — reservation tips, restaurant tips, gratuity tips… and a few unsolicited ones for good measure.
So let’s get tipsy. 🍸
1️⃣ Be flexible.
Flexibility is everything — in timing and in taste. The best tables go to those who know how to bend a little. At 4 Charles Prime Rib, there are only nine tables, so early or late gets you in faster (and lunch is an underrated secret). Once you’re in, open wide for the burger and the yolk — bragging rights included no matter the time.
2️⃣ Know your seating game.
Bar or patio? The bar at L’Artusi is more social — perfect if you’d rather sit next to your date than across. At Nobu Malibu, the move is outside; we can request it on your behalf. The view does half the flirting for you.
3️⃣ Verify your profile.
It builds trust and helps us book reservations in your name instead of a placeholder.
4️⃣ If you don’t see the restaurant you’re looking for in the search bar, slide into Custom Concierge Requests — where special tables meet special requests.
✨ A few extra tips worth the wait:
– Order dessert. Endings matter — especially the sweet ones.
– Phones down, eyes up — that’s where the chemistry happens.
– Split the bottle, not the bill.
– Generosity travels — those who give freely with their wallet usually do the same with their heart… and what follows. ❤️

Be honest — what’s the first thing you think of when you read Just the Tip? ?
No wrong answers… just curious where your mind goes first. ?

Bid posted? Or is this a scam?
Is there any way to see if a bid posted? I accidentally hit pay and then didn’t post the bid. Charge went through and when I tried to post the $240 bid it tried to charge me again.
