The Airbnb Guest Referral Program lets you refer your friends and family to explore and use Airbnb, and you and your friends can earn rewards. Here's how it works:
By participating, you agree to the Airbnb Guest Referral Program Terms and Conditions.
As a referrer, you must meet the following requirements:
The friends you refer must meet the following requirements:
You can refer as many friends as you like, but you can only earn rewards for up to 10 successful referrals per calendar year. Even after reaching this limit, your friends can still register and receive their coupon.
Your referral link is valid for 72 hours after it’s generated. If your friend doesn’t use it within that time, the link will expire, and you’ll need to send a new link.
Your friends will receive an Airbnb coupon for their first booking. They can view the coupon details, including amount and usage rules, in their account under “Profile > Payments & Payouts > Credits & Coupons.”
A successful referral happens when your friend:
When your friend completes a successful referral, you’ll earn travel credits. These credits:
There could be several reasons:
Eligible countries: The friends you referred may not be in one of the eligible countries, which are China, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Mexico.
Non-qualifying first trip: Their first trips might not meet the Qualifying Booking criteria. A Qualifying Booking must:
Maximum Referrals Reached: You may have already reached the maximum limit of 10 Successful Referrals per calendar year.
Referral Rewards are automatically sent to your account, typically within ten days after your friends’ qualifying trip is completed.
You can view your Referral Rewards balance and usage details under “Profile > Payments & Payouts > Credits & Coupons.”
If you cancel a booking, the system will first return the Referral Rewards to your account. Depending on the booking’s cancellation policy, the Rewards may not be fully refundable.
Referral links should be shared only with personal connections, like friends and family. Avoid posting your link on public forums or coupon sites.
If you believe there is an error in your Referral travel credit balance, please contact us. Airbnb may require you to submit relevant proof to confirm the balance.
Tax liabilities arising from receiving or using Referral travel credits are your sole responsibility. Similarly, tax liabilities from receiving or using an Airbnb coupon are the responsibility of the Referred User. Airbnb may collect taxes on services redeemed using Referral Rewards and/or coupons where applicable.
Airbnb may change or end the Guest Referral Program at any time without prior notice. However, any rewards or coupons already issued will still be valid according to the terms in place when they were issued
