The Airbnb Guest Referral Program allows eligible Members (“Referrers”) to invite their eligible friends and family (“Referred Users”) via an invitation link to explore and use Airbnb. Referred Users who complete registration through this link obtain an Airbnb coupon for their first booking. If the Referred User makes a Qualifying Booking and Completes (each as defined below) the stay (a “Successful Referral”), the Referrer will receive Airbnb travel credits in the amount specified in the Dashboard (“Referral Rewards”). The travel credits that the Referrer receives can be used for future homes, experiences, or service bookings on Airbnb. To “Complete” a Qualifying Booking, the Referred User’s booking must be accepted by a Host and paid for by the Referred User, and the Referred User must complete the entire stay without the booking being canceled at any time. The Referral Rewards will be automatically sent to the Referrer's account typically within ten days after the eligible trip is Completed, and can be viewed through “Profile > Payments & Payouts > Credits & Coupons.”
Currently, this program is only open to users with a country of residence or establishment in Brazil, mainland China, India, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea.

Referral Rewards Usage Rules for the Guest Referral Program:
Referral Rewards obtained by the Referrer through the Guest Referral Program are travel credits that are valid for 1 year from the date of issuance and can be used for future stay or Experience bookings by the Referrer. The travel credits are subject to the Credit Terms and Conditions.
Referral Rewards may automatically offset the cost of stay or Experience bookings on Airbnb, can be stacked with multiple Referral Rewards, and have no minimum booking amount required for their use. Referral Rewards may not be used with or to purchase Gift Cards.
Referral Rewards can be used in conjunction with coupons and other discounts (listing discounts, host coupons, etc.), but may not be used with Airbnb Coupons from the Guest Referral Program. The default application order is coupons, other discounts, then travel credits.
On the booking payment page, the Referrer can manually remove automatically applied discounts and choose a different discount.
The maximum amount of Referral Rewards used in each booking cannot exceed 15% of the total payment amount of the booking. The actual deductible limit of travel credits from Referral Rewards may fluctuate based on real-time currency exchange rates.
Referral Rewards are for the personal use of the Referrer only and cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value or redeemed for cash, or used in any form of transaction or use other than deducting the cost of the Referrer's stay or Experience bookings.
When the Referrer cancels or changes a booking that used Referral Rewards, the system will first return the Referral Rewards to the Referrer, then refund the rest of the payment to the payment method used for the booking.
Depending on the cancellation policy applicable to the booking, the Referral Rewards used may not be refundable or only partially refundable.
Referrers can view the usage details of Referral Rewards on Airbnb by going to "Profile > Payments & Payouts > Credits & Coupons" to understand the amount and expiration records of Referral Rewards.
If the Referrer believes there is an error in the balance of Referral Rewards for any reason, please contact us. Airbnb may require the Referrer to submit relevant proof to confirm the balance of Referral Rewards.
Additional Terms and Conditions of the Guest Referral Program:
Referrers agree that they will not use the Dashboard for any purpose other than tracking their own progress and the progress of their Referred Users. Referrers will respect the privacy of others and comply with applicable laws.
Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes, and only shared with personal connections that will appreciate receiving these invitations. Referral links should not be distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends or family (in particular, referral links may not be published on coupon websites, Reddit, Wikipedia, or similar sites).
Referrers agree and represent that they will use referral methods and techniques that people will appreciate and that are legal. Referrers should only contact people who have given the Referrer their consent to be contacted. Referrers agree and represent that they will always be mindful to respect the privacy of others (i.e., do not spam), be honest, open, and transparent about who the Referrer is and what the Referrer is offering (i.e., do not mislead).
Referrers agree that they will not set up accounts or book on behalf of Referred Users and that they will not be eligible for payments if they are in breach of these Guest Referral Terms.
If any provision of these Guest Referral Terms is deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable, then that provision (or the part of it that makes it invalid, void, or unenforceable) will be disregarded, without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms.
Airbnb may at any time, for any reason, suspend or terminate the Guest Referral Program without prior notice. Referral Rewards and coupons already issued at the time of suspension or termination of the Guest Referral Program may still be used in accordance with these Guest Referral Terms.
Airbnb reserves the right to change the content and mechanics of the Guest Referral Program at any time, including but not limited to the use of Referral Rewards, without prior notice. Referral Rewards and coupons already issued at the time of such a change remain unaffected and may still be used in accordance with these Guest Referral Terms.
Airbnb reserves the right to update the Guest Referral Terms at any time without prior notice. Should the Guest Referral Terms be revised, we will publish the revisions on the Airbnb website, application, or other service channels; such revisions will become effective immediately upon publication. The updated Guest Referral Terms only apply to future usage of the program and will be brought to the attention of the user. For past usage (e.g., Referral Rewards or coupons already issued), the then-applicable version of the Guest Referral Terms continues to apply.
Older versions of the Airbnb mobile app may not support participation in this program. Please update to the latest version.
