hello, I saw a link to offer a payment for referring a good friend as a host. I now cannot find the link to this on my profile. All I can find is a reward of travel coupons. Does this lump sum payment to hosts for referrals still exist ? Many thanks
Go to Inbox and at the top of the of the message listing there is a “refer a host” link.
Airbnb promotions come & go and differ from region to region. For a few months referral reward amount seems to change often boucing from $250 to $50 to $100 to $150…you get the idea. I wonder if they were looking for the sweet spot to entice current hosts to refer new hosts. Also the guest referral bounces around too.
Because of the lack of consistency, I would suggest contacting Airbnb Customer Service.
I have referred a couple of new hosts to Air and looked into the “$120” host referral. It was not a lump sum payment and ended up actually being something closer to $20 per referral with a maximum payment of $120 per year. Payouts were then contingent upon your referral actually having guests stay. It was nothing to get excited about!
Figures seem low, our referral link is suggesting we get €425 if we refer a prospective host. When I looked at the T&C’s, it said $480 per referral.
