Can I use my Host income balance to pay for travel

[Gregory16]

I have an upcomming payment due from Airbnb for a guest that is booking in. But I also have to make a payment for an upcoming travel. Can I get hold of Airbnb to stop my host payment and deduct the travel payment due, and then settle the balance?

Yes same question here. Can I use my hosting payment for travels directly?

Yes I would also love to know this as most of my air bnb income is used to fund air bnb travel

As far as I know you cannot.  Funds are always transferred to your account.

Hello @Gregory16,

As @Marit-Anne0 mentioned, I don't believe this is possible at the moment. Interesting idea though. 🙂

Hi, is there any updates regarding this matter? It would be more convenient to be able to pay fo trips with my hosting balance, or even through my balance in payoneer.. any updates? Thx 😊

I think for taxation they cannot allow you to do this. It's just my personal take on this i have not asked any airBnB advisor about it. But indeed this would be very convenient 🙂
