How to claim

  1. Open the Airbnb host referral link above.
  2. Create your eligible listing in the same session using the unique referral link β€” Airbnb tracks referrals from that link flow.
  3. Publish an eligible entire-home, experience or service listing as a first-time listing owner (private, shared and hotel rooms are not eligible unless Airbnb says otherwise).
  4. Complete the first qualifying booking within 180 days of starting the listing from the referral link, meeting Airbnb's minimum booking value for that listing type.
  5. Treat Airbnb's live Host Referral Offer Terms as final for reward amounts, eligibility and timing.

Eligibility & requirements

  • Referred hosts must be new, first-time hosts β€” no payment for listings created by current or former Airbnb hosts.
  • Create the listing by following the unique referral link; start in the same session so the referral is tracked.
  • Eligible listings are experience, service, or entire-home listings; private/shared/hotel rooms are generally ineligible.
  • First qualifying booking must meet Airbnb's minimum value (about US$100 for homes, US$50 for experiences/services before taxes and fees) and complete within 180 days of listing creation from the link.

Pros

  • Useful if you already planned to start hosting on Airbnb.
  • Hosting can be a genuine income stream rather than a one-off bonus.
  • Airbnb provides listing setup guidance, host damage protection and liability cover programmes.
  • No cost to create a listing.

Watch out for

  • Invitee cash is not guaranteed on this page β€” Airbnb may offer a referred-host reward, but live programme pages control whether one is available.
  • Hosting is real work: guests, cleaning, local rules and taxes.
  • The referral only counts if you follow the link flow and publish an eligible listing type.
  • Not relevant if you only want to book stays as a guest.

FAQ

Do I get a bonus for signing up as an Airbnb host through this link?
Airbnb pays the referring member a cash Referral Reward after your qualifying booking, with amounts shown in the Dashboard. Airbnb may also offer a Referral Reward Payment to referred hosts when the referrer is eligible and paid β€” check the live flow rather than treating invitee cash as guaranteed.
Who counts as a new Airbnb host?
A new, first-time host. Current or former Airbnb hosts do not qualify for referral payment. An existing guest account is fine if you have never hosted before.
What makes a booking qualify?
Airbnb's Host Referral Offer Terms require an accepted, paid, non-cancelled booking that meets the minimum value for the listing type (about US$100 for homes, US$50 for experiences/services before taxes and fees) and completes within 180 days of creating the listing from the referral link. Live terms control the exact rules.
