Superhost £100 coupon

[Wes-and-Lyn0]

Hello all Super hosts. We have gratefully received our £100 each year for the last 5 years.  But that amount does not reflect today what it used to, nor does it reflect the very hard work we do as Superhosts. Please can Airbnb look at this and increase it. If service charges have gone up, why has the coupon amount remained the same? . We need a pay rise!! Thank you.

@Wes-and-Lyn0 A few thoughts:

The superhost voucher ($100 by the way not £) will go a very long way if you book a stay in Kiev or Lviv. The pleasure you and the host will get is way in excess of any monetary value.

The service charges are a percentage so they have only gone up if you have managed to charge more which sounds fair to me.

@Wes-and-Lyn0  It is such a pittance of a dangling carrot, why does it really matter? 

If you divide that $100 by the number of reservations you've had over a year, you are probably being "rewarded" less than a dollar for each reservation. 

This "reward" is a tool to make you conform to AirBnB's ideal settings for hosts, yet isn't much of a reward- it's a manipulation. 

Best to think of it as a nice discount for you as a guest, and move on.

I’d like to know why my $100.00 reward for being a Superhost expires in 2 months? I get notification I made Superhost yesterday, checked the payment section to see my coupon and to my surprise it expires June 2024. Checked again this morning just in case it was a coupon from last year etc.. but nope, same coupon with an expiration date of June 2024??  

Is the coupon a once a year thing or every time you meet Superhost?

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Ana2038 its a once a year thing once you make (and keep) superhost status for a year.

@Mike-And-Jane0 , great but the coupon I’m given as a reward expires in 2 month. It’s the only coupon showing under my payment column. Could it be last year coupon and this year coupon won’t show up until last year coupon expires? Or did Airbnb really give me a coupon that expires in 2 months?

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Ana2038 Can you remember when you first became a superhost? The coupon would then have come to you 12 months later.

[Ana2038]

@Mike-And-Jane0 , I’ve been a Superhost since 2018 and have been since…

@Ana2038 Every 3 month we are evaluated and might become a super host if we meet the requirements. If we have met the requirements 4 times in a row /after a year you will get the 100$ coupon and it will expire after a year. So you must have got your last coupon 1st of July last year. And will get a new one 1st of July this year if you meet the requirements. 
I started hosting Spring 2014 and when I started there was no super host program yet. I have been a super host since the program started and I’m evaluated every 3 month and will get a coupon once a year / and it then lasts for a year.  It has been like that since forever and the system is automated. No need to be rude to @Mike-And-Jane0 - what they probably asked you was  - what month you became a superhost for the first time. 

[Ana2038]

@Sandra856, I believe you read my response to @Mike-And-Jane0 , incorrectly as to my tone (not sure how you came to the conclusion). I think in moving forward we must be careful how we think others might be thinking when they right a response and not jump to conclusions.

Because Airbnb has shortened the time you can use it within. My latest voucher expires in September @Ana2038 

can you screengrab your one saying two months? 

[Ana2038]

@Helen3 , here is a screenshot. The coupon expiring June 24 of this year may have been from last years Superhost reward. If, in fact, that is the case, then I need to utilize this before the expiration date. Coupon showing in the payment section
