Allow hosts to hold payments in credit to use to purchase AirBNB stays when travelling

[Rob213]

The benefit goes beyond any tax saving. We own an AirBNB property in Australia. We are about to visit the USA and will be staying at AirBNBs. We would like to take credits from hosting to apply to our overseas stays. It would save us exchanging between currencies if AirBNB can simply apply its own bank exchange rates. And it would encourage us to use AirBNB places rather than consider using hotels sometimes. So there would be an advantage to AirBNB (more bookings) in offering this as part of its platform. And it would make holidays and payment methods more flexible for hosts.

What a great idea!  We also own an AIrbnb property in Australia and we regularly stay as Airbnb guests with other Airbnb hosts.  This would have numberous benefits, a bit like a small version of Paypal to make and receive payments through the Airbnb "bank".

No 

We travel with airbnb and host. 

All income has to be declared and all travel paid for. If there is not an airbnb where we want to go we want the flexibility of being able to book by other means and not be forced to stay somewhere not suitable
