Understanding Next Steps - Offline

• MyVr will verify that the listing is live on Vrbo.
• Once the above is complete, the listing status in MyVR will transition from "Pending" to "Active" and will show as "Online."

NOTE: 

• Even after switching to Subscription, the listing might show "Incomplete" for another 24 hours while Vrbo confirms all content. 
• If the listing appears in the "Incomplete" tab after 24 hours, check the reasons for incompleteness to see if there is any data that is missing.
