Where is the host referral program?

[Natasza2]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any idea when the host referral program will be brought back? Airbnb states it is on pause "due to COVID", yet they continue to accept direct sign ups for new hosts. How does that prevent COVID? Seems like a way to get new sign ups without paying out bonuses to hosts who may have done the lip service to get friends and family to sign up.

Kind of shady and dishonest...

@Natasza2 I was looking for it the other day myself. Perhaps they paused it due to Covid not as a prevention measure but a money saving one. They probably have more hosts than guests right now so do not want to spend money to attract more
