Using Airbnb Earnings to Travel

[Paul1789]

Hi,

I've recently starting hosting and have earned some money through Airbnb after my first guests completed their stay. I am currently traveling and would like to book accommodation through Airbnb. Can I use the money earned through Airbnb directly to pay for an Airbnb reservation without having it 'paid out' first? How? If not, why?

Thanks!

No, @Paul1789, you can't, and just...well, because.

@Paul1789No, you cannot use it before you received their approval. I referred a host and did not receive the payment until 4 weeks after. Therefore, there is no way for you to know if you get the credit.

@Paul1789 as @Gordon0 said that is not an option. You need to wait for the money to get to your account and you can book after that. You get the money sent 24h after the guest checks in. What if you spend the money and the guest cancels, you will have to pay it back since it was not yours and there are a lot of complications with that. You can only use the money that you actually get paid out.
