How to refer someone on Airbnb?
Referring someone on Airbnb is straightforward when Airbnb has an active referral program. Log into your Airbnb account on their website or mobile app, click or tap on your profile icon (usually in the top right corner), and navigate to your account settings or profile section. Look for options labeled "Refer Friends," "Invite Friends," "Share & Earn," "Referral Program," or similar terms. If Airbnb has an active referral program, you'll find your unique referral link in this section.
Once you've found your referral link, you can share it with friends through various methods. Airbnb typically provides built-in sharing options that let you share via email, social media, messaging apps, or copy the link to share manually. When someone uses your referral link to sign up for Airbnb and completes their first booking, both you and they typically receive travel credits or other rewards depending on Airbnb's current program terms. The exact rewards can vary, so check the current terms when you're ready to refer someone.
It's important to note that Airbnb's referral program availability can vary over time and by region. The program might be seasonal, limited to certain user tiers, or only available in specific countries. If you can't find referral options in your Airbnb account, it's possible the program isn't currently active, you might not meet eligibility requirements, or it might not be available in your region. Airbnb may also have different referral programs for hosts versus guests.
When referring someone to Airbnb, make sure to share your referral link clearly and explain the benefits they'll receive for using it, such as travel credits on their first booking. This makes it more likely they'll actually use your link when signing up. Keep in mind that referral links are typically only valid for new users, so the person you're referring needs to be creating a new Airbnb account, not using an existing one.
If you're having trouble finding how to refer someone on Airbnb, make sure your account is in good standing and check both the website and mobile app, as referral program locations can differ. You can also contact Airbnb customer service to inquire about the current status of their referral program and how to participate if it's available. They can provide guidance on eligibility requirements and how to access your referral link if the program is active.
