@Natalie347 Call AirBnB, they can contact the host and tell her this is not allowed. She will either have to cancel you and take the penalty hits for it and her days blocked or let you stay without the credit card information being given especially since she does not even mention a rental agreement needing to be signed in her rules. I'm surprised no other guest has called her out on it yet, unless they are HA/VRBO users also and use to this process in rentals unaware it's not acceptable practice on AirBnB is all I can think of.
