How to pay on Airbnb

Airbnb accepts Visa debit cards, and our card works. It is a Visa Business debit card in dollars, not prepaid. Issuing costs $10, you top up with crypto, and a transfer to the card is 7.5%.

Common questions

Airbnb asks to enter two amounts

This is a card check: Airbnb holds two amounts of up to $1.99. They are in the card history and in the bot messages. Enter them in Airbnb, and the holds are released.

The host declined the booking, but the money is held

Nothing is charged. Airbnb releases the hold, the history entry changes to “Canceled”, and the amount is back on the card.
