Why watch all of them at once
The genuinely mispriced deals — a $1,900/night Maldives villa listed at $460, a $700 St. Regis suite at $220 — surface on one site, sell out within an hour, and disappear. A human checking one site every morning will miss 95% of them. Flash Stay scrapes all nine marketplaces every 30 minutes, filters for discounts above 30%, and surfaces only what's genuinely live.
Flash Stay Pro subscribers get real-time email alerts the moment a deal above their discount threshold lands in a region they care about. Free members see the top drops on the home page.
