Where do you enter the code?
I was wondering so as well. I went through entire sign-up process and did not see a place to enter a code. Edit: There seems to be a gift code when you try to invest in a property but the code hackernews is not a valid promotional code. So it would be nice to get clarification on where this code would be put in. Aside this seems like a cool platform. I know some people will be cynical and call out the housing crisis…

#17I'm part of the 99.5% of non-airbnb investors Arrived is ostensibly trying to expand to. I like the potential of micro-investment, but right now it's not socially tenable for me personally to tell my friends I'm an Airbnb investor. Airbnb's biggest personal impact for myself and them has not been as a vacation vendor, but as an entity radically transforming our neighborhoods and access to housing. Does Arrived have a…
