Invite only
Airbnb's own help article still says the guest referral programme has ended, while airbnb.com/invite is live — the programme was relaunched in a small set of Asian and Latin American markets and nowhere else.
You get Travel credit Amount set per market; Airbnb publishes none
They get A booking coupon Applied to their first qualifying booking
We hold no Airbnb referral link
Invite only
This one is not open to everyone. Whether you can invite anybody depends on your account, and it is offered in-product rather than advertised.
Share your Airbnb invite link
We hold no link for this one — nobody can have an account everywhere. Add yours and it goes in front of the next person who asks.
If we already hold a link for this one, yours goes on file rather than live — we swap it in if it turns out to be the better offer.
What Airbnb pays for inviting a friend
- Program type
- Both a refer-a-friend and an affiliate program
- Qualifies on
- The invitee signs up as a genuinely new user, books, and must complete the stay before your credit is issued
- Payout delay
- After the stay ends; credits expire a year from issue
- Cap
- Reported at 10 successful referrals a year
- Availability
- Only a handful of markets — reported as China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brazil and India. Not the US, UK or EU.
The famous $25-give-$25-get era is definitively over, and the publisher affiliate programme was killed in March 2021.
