Have you ever lost money on a non-refundable hotel booking? We're launching tomorrow to fix this.

Hey Product Hunt community!

We ve all been there: you book a non-refundable hotel room, life happens, plans change, and the hotel/OTA keeps 100% of your money.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), we re officially launching Avago v1.0 a secondary marketplace where travelers can safely transfer non-refundable hotel reservations with built-in buyer escrow and fraud protection.

Avago - Secondary market for non-refundable hotel bookings

Every year, millions of travelers lose money on non-refundable hotel rooms they can't use. Avago solves this by creating the first global secondary market for hotel bookings. Travelers can resell non-refundable rooms at a discount, and hotels can list unsold inventory. Uniquely, our platform empowers users to submit direct bids, allowing them to name their own price for accommodations.
