payment by gcash

[Herminio0]

i just attended a workshop by Airbnb Philippines and they mentioned that it is possible to pay by gcash. Is this true and How can i do it?

Hi @Herminio0!

Have you contacted Airbnb customer support about this to ask? You can chat with them over on the Help Center here. An up-to-date list of accepted payment types is here as well. 

@Patricia2526 or @Bea2137 do you have any experience with gcash as a payment method or have you heard anything about it?

hello Breanna,

Customer support was more concerned about reservations. They also referred me to the list you mentioned. The Philippines is not yet included in that list. Thank you, Breanna.

Hi @Herminio0,

May I ask which list you’re pertaining to?

I invite you to join Airbnb’s official local community to stay updated on upcoming events and connect with hosts in your area:

Hi @Herminio0 

Yes, by using  Gcash Amex Virtual Pay.

Steps:

To activate your AMEX Virtual Pay Card, follow the steps below:

1. On your GCash app, tap Profile
2. Select My Linked Accounts
3. Tap American Express Virtual Pay
4. Enter your email address and wait for an SMS to confirm your registration.
5. For existing AMEX Virtual Pay holders, tap Get New Code
6. Save and take note of your new code to continue using AMEX Virtual

Thanks @Breanna for tagging.

Hi, I tried using the GCash AMEX Virtual Pay as payment option for my AirBnb Booking, but the payment still wouldn't go through. 

[Patricia2526]

Hi @Norlan0  you mean registration was unsuccessful? Are you fully verified by Gcash? Make sure your Gcash account is funded as well when trying to book your stay.

Hello @Patricia2526 , i tried using this method in reserving my place in airbnb but it wont go through. May I confirm what zip code should be use? Should it be from philippines or the zip code in the address provided in the amex in gcash?

[Patricia2526]

Hi @Nhoel-Aljhon0 

Use your own zipcode. You provided your home address when you registered on Gcash so you will be using the same zipcode.
