Airbnb Credit?

Is there any way that a refund issued by Airbnb can be made in the form of Airbnb credit to be used on a different booking? 

 

I've been staying in a listing for two months and ever since the beginning we have had issues with the washer and refrigerator not working, a neighbor using his key to come into the apartment "by accident" and the front lock breaking living us locked out of the apartment for hours. The listing had deceitful pictures that didn't show a wall that has holes throw which cold air comes in and because of this my wife now has chronic bronchitis. 

 

For all these reasons we called upon Airbnb to help us find to resolve this situation and move to a different apartment. 


There are three case managers handling my case and none of them seems to able to solve this properly. All I want to do is use whatever refund they give me as credit towards our next booking. If I wait for the Airbnb refund it is going to take too long for me to able to use it towards moving into a new apartment quickly. (over a month)

 

Hence my question at the top of this post. Please Help!

Hello @Diego346 ,

Yes, that can be a possibility, as i have seen postings on this community it happened.

But as you are on a "long term stay", special policies apply, so don't know how they affect your situation. But you can learn more here:

Hope Airbnb can resolve your problem soon,

Best regards, Emiel

Thank You Emiel. 
They said the only way is "refund" to my card listed on the profile. 

I will keep an update to see what's the final resolution for this. 

 

Thank you!
