PSA: Airbnb Gift Card Caveats

March 4, 2019 / / 14 Comments

I provide a lot of discounted Airbnb gift cards for my friends to save money on their Airbnb trips. Over the years I’ve learned a lot of nuances about these cards that I thought I’d share here.

Just a quick collection of posts I saw that were interesting, as well as a short experience with the Hilton Best Rate guarantee.

Via Doctor of Credit, there’s a great Amex Offer currently running right now, where you can get $50 of $100 at AirBnB, including gift cards. Please read the follow-up post with all the details you need to know about the deal! If you are are buying gift cards, here are the key things you need to know:

  • You need to login to buy a gift card, and you can’t send one to yourself. You can use a second AirBnB account (though technically against the terms) to send it to yourself though. Better alternative is finding a friend that you can send it to (or trade gift cards with)
  • Gift cards redeem to your account balance and are used before any credit cards. You must redeem within 90 days to an account otherwise the card is cancelled and the balance returned to the sender.
  • If you don’t send it to your friend’s email, you must forward the email with the Accept Gift Card link so they can redeem the gift card. Just the code will not work, as AirBnB will error out and say the gift card seems like it was meant for someone else.
  • You may not get the usual email from Amex confirming that you have used your offer as the charge will come in pending as Braintree payments, but should post as AirBnB
