Welcome to the community,
This is so frustrating, especially when you’re excited to finish your setup — but it’s a common issue for new hosts in the Philippines, so you’re definitely not alone.
Here are a few things that usually fix the verification code problem:
1. Make sure your number is saved in full international format
Example: +63 + mobile number (without the first 0)
2. Switch your phone to SMS only
Some carriers filter automated text messages. Turning off call/SMS filters or spam protection can help.
3. Try using a different phone number temporarily
You can add another number under:
Account → Personal info → Phone numbers
Once verified, you can switch back later.
4. Don’t keep hitting “Send code again”
Airbnb auto-locks the account after multiple attempts — waiting 24 hours before trying again helps reset the system.
5. If nothing arrives after that, contact Airbnb Support directly
Ask them to manually verify your phone number or to push the verification code from their side.
They can bypass the glitch and get your payout method open.
You’re doing everything right — this is just a technical hiccup, not something you caused. Once support helps push the code through, your payout setup should go smoothly. 🌟
