For many years, HostelSnap has integrated with the MyAllocator channel manager to synchronize rates and availability across multiple booking channels.

Recently, Cloudbeds, the parent company of MyAllocator, discontinued the availability of MyAllocator as a stand-alone product. As a result, many PMS systems that previously integrated with MyAllocator will no longer function unless the hostel already has an existing MyAllocator account.

For the hostel industry, we believe Cloudbeds' decision to discontinue MyAllocator raises several concerns:

It reduces the number of PMS choices available to hostel owners.
It limits interoperability between independent software platforms.
It pushes hostels toward a single vendor ecosystem that may not fit every property's needs or budget.

Many smaller hostels rely on simple and affordable technology stacks rather than large PMS systems. Removing the stand-alone channel manager option makes it harder for these properties to remain competitive unless they adopt the Cloudbeds PMS.

We also believe this decision contradicts earlier statements by Cloudbeds leadership that MyAllocator would remain a platform-agnostic channel manager when Cloudbeds acquired the company. See our interview with CEO Adam Harris here.

We believe the hostel industry benefits from open platforms and healthy competition between software providers.

If you share these concerns, you may wish to communicate your feedback directly to Cloudbeds.

Important: If your hostel already has an existing MyAllocator account, we can still onboard you to the HostelSnap PMS and connect it to MyAllocator.

This Known Issue Report is related to the Promo Codes page

Have Promo Code doesn't show on some browsers

On some browser views the "Have Promo Code" link does not show. It seems to have class="hide" when there seems to be no reason to have this class.

I want this also!

that class="hide" was being removed by some javascript in case there is at least one promo code active on the system AND only if there is no 'trackable_url' already set

so the most likely scenario is that you had some trackable url set inside that browser...

in any case, I just removed the class="hide" and replaced the logic with some php logic so that we avoid any js/css issues that might have preventing the removal of the class 

so this should be fixed now (code is just on dev for now @darren85 )

@neeeeeeext  Yes, I suspected that scenario.   However, I used my daughters computer to give a "fresh" browser test and it did not appear.  

Thanks for changing the logic, I will test again.
