I think Airbnb got tired of me but I insisted even if them trying to close out my complaint that it wasn’t fair to hold a listing for 24 hours and losing money. I suggested that if they’re willing to hold it for 24 hours why not reimburse the host for one night of stay… You think they would like that? If they want why would they want us assholes to do that! This is a little of what I shared :
The policy on holding a listing until a guest updates there payment method is not acceptable… That’s a problem on Airbnb‘s in not the host and it’s unfair to hold a room when that person may not update their payment method or maybe even find another place to stay.
They may purposely withhold proper payment methods while they are searching other places to stay.
Air Bnb states they do this to prevent multiple bookings…
“To rectify not having multiple bookings don’t except a booking unless there’s payment received!
PETIOD!
Our listings should not be a lay-a-way plan.
Actually… Even with a layaway plan a deposit is placed.
