Early Bird Access & Bold Ads explained

SpareRoom.co.uk is free to use. Anyone can place a Free Ad and contact all Bold Ads (blue), and other Free Ads (grey) more than 7 days old. To contact Free Ads less than 7 days old you'll need to upgrade to get Early Bird Access. Upgraded users can also place Bold Ads, which are free for everyone to contact, appear higher up the results list and get (on average) double the enquiries.
