No payout after one week of minimum payout is met

Well, that would be a violation of Airbnb’s terms of service. If just one of the guests contacted Airbnb you’d likely be removed from the platform. [You would lose all those bookings.]

BTW, it is IMO a best practice that @muddy has posted here to keep a list of all the reservations, with contact information. We’ve seen scenarios where the Host having that guest contact information is helpful.

Ahhh – this must be the reason!

Normally Airbnb takes care off these things in quantum time but it must be a busy time for them. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:


My guess is that once this business information matter is resolved that you’ll get your payments and that things will run smoothly. What you recite we’ve heard before but I do think the overwhelming majority of Hosts are paid timely and that you will be too once this business information thing is resolved.

I’m not sure why you needed to provide that information but one of my suspicions is that if I think I need to change information that Airbnb must process that I would think twice.

For example, suppose I thought a different financial payout method would be more convenient for me. Well, I’ve read enough about Hosts not getting paid for even six months and in amounts in the six figures that I’m not going to change my financial payout information unless essential, and if I do I’m going to expect the possibility of a delay of a month, maybe more for Airbnb to process it.

Most of us have our gripes with Airbnb but they have been effective at getting us business and paying us timely (with exceptions). But a number of people here have a strategy for direct bookings because it seems dangerous to rely on any one platform, because Airbnb’s zeal for new Hosts can create surplus supply that drives a race to the bottom in fees, because new Hosts or properties unlike yours might be prioritized in search results, because Airbnb and your interests are not the same.

Several Hosts here have used OwnerRez and DTravel.
