Superhost Relief Fund - any UK invitees yet?

Who have you been commissioned to write an article for @Katmac163?

I’m sure if you have read through the policy and posts on Airbnb community and other forums, you will have seen that only a small percentage of eligible hosts were invited to apply.

Not a scam just a scheme that was ill conceived. I agree Airbnb have not been transparent.

My fear is that this was all just a publicity stunt that coincided nicely with their huge private equity investment.

I’ve read several posts on various hosting forums where hosts said they did receive a grant. And the majority of hosts don’t even participate in forums. Just because you didn’t get one doesn’t mean no one did.

But I do agree it was mostly done for PR purposes and like everything Airbnb, non-transparent. They got way too many hosts’ hopes up only to to disappoint. They also changed the goalposts along the way- the original wording was that hosts who had held Superhost for at least a year were eligible, then it changed to 4-5 years.
