It is impossible. Many have posted strategies such as: Calling the property on morning of checking to reconfirm, checking in via app, putting note in the record, checking in as early as possible.

Unfortunately none are foolproof. The best is to arrive early as they tend to walk the last to show (to maximize revenue) but alas that is not always possible. I find calling ahead to say "don't walk me" usually works.

Honestly if there was one elite benefit I would want above all others it would be to never ever be walked but property owners are just too greedy to provide it.
