Hi Mews community,

Advice please, How are you monitoring reservations where guests are potentially already blacklisted? 

It is possible that a guest makes another reservation with a different OTA which sends a generic email address. What work around have you found to identify these potential profiles that need to be merged? 

We also work with kiosks so checking on arrival is not possible. 

Thanks for any options,

Hello @Sam 

 

Still nothing efficient found so far

 

The thing we are doing now is (while checking arrivals) going in the guest profile, then on the merge case and typing that same guest name to see if there is another profile with the same name ready to be merged

 

As you cannot merge a blacklisted profile, you will get this message from Mews:

 

Then you’ll know that you are facing a blacklisted guest

 

You can also do that directly when you receive the reservation or have your Night staff do it but either way, it is not convenient at all

 

Hope this helps a little

 

Maybe one day we will have a pop up menu that gives you a little heads up/warning when other information of the profile match the one of a blacklisted guest and then encourage you to check whether or not you should act, but that is a sweet dream for now 😉

 

Bye bye

Also an issue for us. Considering Mews focus’s on Guest Email… there is no way around this. None. Of course what is mentioned above works if you always check for similar named profiles but to be honest… waste of time for everyone. 

You could always do “Wall of Shame” with Polaroids!!!
