JengDeal pick: Airbnb host referral — HK$235 extra after your first booking
Thinking of listing a spare flat or a service on Airbnb? Create an eligible listing through this host referral link and, as a first-time host, you get an extra HK$235 once your first qualifying booking completes within 180 days — paid within 30 days, though Airbnb may pay credit instead. In Hong Kong, homes and services qualify but experiences don't, and bookings by friends or family, or at the referrer's address, don't count. Qualifying bookings start at about US$100 for homes and US$50 for services (before taxes and fees). Heads-up: letting a Hong Kong home for under 28 consecutive nights needs a guesthouse licence under Cap. 349 (Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance); the listing must come from the referral link, private/shared/hotel rooms generally don't count, and hosting is a real job — guests, cleaning and taxes. The reward amount runs until 23 December 2026.

Eligibility & requirements

Pros
- An extra reward on top of your first qualifying booking's earnings.
- 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
- The reward only pays out after a qualifying booking completes, and Airbnb may pay it as credit instead of cash.
- 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?
- Yes. New first-time hosts get an extra £22 after their first qualifying booking within 180 days (Airbnb's Hong Kong site shows HK$235), paid within 30 days of the booking completing; Airbnb may pay credit instead. The amount runs until 23 December 2026.
- 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. Bookings by friends or family, or at the referrer's address, don't count.

Uber
Never taken Uber? This one's for fresh riders only: use referral code nqayjm3k9d7r (the link above usually drops it in — if not, add it under Wallet or Promotions) and your first eligible trip is 60% off, with the discount visible in the upfront fare before you confirm. Heads-up, the important bit: the invite page skips the cap and expiry, but Wallet > Promotions shows both, plus the country and currency the code works in — promotions only redeem in the currency they were issued in. You still pay the remaining fare, tolls and fees, and it's 18+ under Uber's UK terms.
Requirement: Book an eligible first Uber trip and pay the fare and charges remaining after the discount; the cap shows in Wallet > Promotions
