Stay away from Stayly

Stay away from Stayly – Fraud Alert
Stayly processed a loan in my name before I signed any contract and pressured me into a course I never agreed to. I declined within 24 hours, but they still pushed the loan through. This is not a trustworthy company. Do not buy their courses or share your information with them.

Stayly Rebranded Again — Now Called “Coach Inayah”

Beware: Coach Inayah is just Stayly rebranded. They constantly change names to bury bad reviews. Same team, same recycled content, same overpriced program. Search for “Stayly reviews” before you decide, the pattern speaks for itself.

I joined Stayly (also known as I&B Coaching) marketed by Inayah McMillan and Bryson Blocker and wasted thousands on promises that were never delivered. What matters now is this: they are rebranding again. Stayly is now Coach Inayah. When a company keeps changing names every few months, it’s not a brand strategy; it’s reputation laundering. It’s a tactic to bury bad reviews, confuse customers, and make it harder for victims to connect the dots.

A legitimate business builds its name. A shady one keeps changing it to escape its past.

***Reply***
Let me be clear: I’m not “hurt,” and I don’t need “closure.” What I need is for people to see the pattern here. Rebrands don’t just “reflect an evolving mission,” they splinter reviews and bury accountability. Students deserve to see contracts before paying, not after when they’re locked in.

For the record, my credit cards refunded me, after seeing the overwhelming evidences. By the grace of God, I’m financially blessed and content, so your petty theft cannot phase me. What bothers me isn’t the money, it’s watching you recycle the same tactics on people who may not be as fortunate, and who end up carrying the financial loss.
And since you mention “transparency,” I’ll also point out something deeply concerning: the way you use Islam, sprinkling in religious imagery, to build trust. Faith should never be used as a marketing tool to sell dreams that don’t match the reality. That is manipulative and offensive.

My review isn’t a “false accusation.” It’s my documented experience, and I’ve seen too many others report the same: constant name changes, deleted posts, contracts handed out after payment, and a business model built more on selling the course than on real Airbnb success. If you’re confident in what you do, publish the receipts — past names, refund records, and full student outcomes that can be verified independently. It's clear your earning comes from selling the course not Airbnb.

So let me ask you directly: how do you justify all the different names — Airbnb Breakdown Academy, Stayly Academy, Coach Inayah, and now Inayah McMillan — and why should anyone trust that another rebrand won’t happen the moment reviews pile up again?

Another issue that cannot be ignored is how students are often pushed into affirm loans instead of paying with credit cards. This feels less about helping people and more about protecting the company from chargebacks when students realize the program isn’t what was promised. Forcing people into debt they can’t easily escape is worse than riba — you’re not just taking money, you’re burying them under interest and long-term financial harm.
If this company truly lived by the Islamic values it sprinkles into its marketing, they would be more afraid of wronging people than of refunds. Islam is about fairness, honesty, and fearing Allah in every transaction. You can’t claim faith on one hand and exploit people on the other.

I’m not going to go back and forth with you. The thing about wrongdoing is that it always comes back around; that’s not something I need to argue, it’s just how life works.

For anyone reading this: don’t take my word alone. Search for reviews under all the names this program has gone by — Airbnb Breakdown Academy, Stayly Academy, Coach Inayah, and now Inayah Academy or Inayah McMillan. See the patterns, compare the stories, and make your own judgment.

We appreciate your feedback and have already addressed your concerns both privately and publicly, multiple times. While you’re entitled to share your experience, we strongly disagree with the accusations made.

To be clear:

Our rebrand to Coach Inayah was a strategic evolution—not to hide feedback, but to reflect our coaching-based mission.

Your access was granted, support was provided, and you were fully enrolled.

Our refund policy was clearly stated at checkout, prior to payment.

We do not coerce or mislead students into loans, and we absolutely do not use faith as a marketing tactic. Any reference to values is grounded in our personal commitment—not a sales strategy.

For full transparency, we’ve compiled all communication records and support offered to you here:

$6,000 Scam – Promised Funding, Delivered Nothing

WARNING: Stayly/I&B Coaching is a scam. I financed a $6,000 program through Affirm after being promised business funding support on my onboarding call that would cover the cost of the program. That funding was never provided. Instead, they gave me a few generic livestreams and pre-recorded videos that had no real value. When I asked for a refund, they hid behind a “no refund” policy and refused to take responsibility. Affirm already paid them in full, yet I’m left with debt for services that were never delivered as promised. I’ve filed disputes with my banks and a CFPB complaint — consumers should avoid this company at all costs.

We are sorry to hear you feel this way. We would like to clarify that the business funding timeline was outlined in the Turnkey Journey Guide you received when you joined, and you are still within that timeline. Regarding direct mentorship, our support and funding teams have connected with you on several occasions, and our daily live Q&A calls remain available for you to receive real-time guidance and answers. In fact, the funding team spoke with you a week before your review here to review your next steps.

Stayly's refund policy is designed to ensure fairness and consistency for all clients. Payment plans are not eligible for a refund - this was clearly stated in the agreement that you signed.
Affirm manages the loan independently.

While we understand your frustration and understand this may not be the resolution you were hoping for. However, our position is final and in accordance with the terms agreed upon at the time of purchase.

I paid $5,720 USD to Stayly (I&B…

I paid $5,720 USD to Stayly (I&B Coaching) for their Tier 29 Mastery 12 Plan in January 2025. The program was sold to me as a complete business launch package, including funding assistance (25–50K USD), unlimited access to rental units, and done-for-you support. I was told these services would apply to me even though I live in Canada.

After joining, I discovered (on my own) that funding is not available to Canadians, all rental units are U.S.-only, and the calculator does not work in Canada. The live classes and coaching they advertise are free and open to the public. Essentially, none of the core services I paid for are usable.

I repeatedly asked for a refund due to misrepresentation. They first refused and then ignored my formal demand letter entirely. I have received no resolution. This has been a costly and disappointing experience. If you are outside the U.S., be very cautious - ask for written proof of what services you will actually get before paying. And now when I came to write this review I saw Amina that went through the same problem as I did and she's in the US. So basically even if you're in the US, You get treated the same and played

We’ve addressed this with you directly, but we truly understand the hope you invested in joining the program.

When you enrolled, full app access—including unit listings and tools—was a paid feature, unlike the limited-time free access now. While some features like U.S. listings may not apply to your location, you were given access to all course materials and live coaching sessions for 12 months, valued at $5,500.

As access was granted and services delivered, we’re unable to offer a refund per our policy. Your account remains active, and we’re here if you wish to continue.
