I received $5000 grant. Thank you, Airbnb!

I saw many doubters here. I just want to say I did receive $5000 grant. I greatly appreciated it.

I received invitation on May.29. My application was approved on Jun.8. Fund was deposited on Jun.9.

 

I have met all criteria for SuperHost relief grant. I have been all-time SuperHost since the superhost program started. So for last 22 quarters, I have never missed one quarter.

 

I didn't receive %25 refund  for covid-19 cancellation cause I had been using moderate or flexible cancellation policy.

 

Thank you, Airbnb!

Good for you! @Hao4  That’s awesome. We just launched our first listing and completed our first stay today. Grateful that we missed the worst of the Covid impact on bookings.

@Hao4 Thank you for balancing some of the naysayers who are sceptical anyone was getting support.

While this may as be as rare as hen's teeth, it is good to know it has helped some, and good for you, @Hao4.
Yours, another 22-quarter Superhost (who didn't get the invite, but isn't bitter).

🤣

I am puzzled as to why the comparison was made for income in Q1.  The government lockdown did not begin until very late in Q1.  I have had no income at all in Q2, which would normally be a very good quarter.  There should be a Superhost Relief Fund relating to Q2.  Will there be?

hi @Habeeb0 

 

I don't want to burst your bubble but it seems like Airbnb have closed this fund and are no longer taking any new applications.

@Habeeb0 @Simona238 You can't apply. You had to be invited. All the invitations have gone out now. It was a GIFT for a tiny few, not an entitlement for all. - A publicity stunt. It is thought that maybe only 2% of eligible superhosts were invited to apply.

Thank you Helen350 for the useful info.
