To buy Airbnb gift cards with crypto, choose the card for the country you live in, pay in crypto on Genghis, and redeem it at airbnb.com/gift.
Airbnb's payment methods do not include crypto, so a gift card bought with crypto is how you fund a stay with it. Airbnb ties each card to where you live: a US card, for example, is only for US residents. Once added, the balance applies automatically when you book, though Airbnb still wants another payment method on file.

Does Airbnb accept crypto?
No: Airbnb's help page on payment methods lists Visa, Mastercard, Amex, JCB and debit cards that can be processed as credit cards, plus options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and local methods, and no cryptocurrency (checked September 25, 2026). An Airbnb gift card bought with crypto becomes Gift Card balance on your account, which Airbnb applies to your booking.

Which country's Airbnb card should I buy?
The card for the country you live in, matching your Airbnb account. Airbnb's US gift card terms say a US card can only be used by individuals residing in the U.S. with a US payment method, and other regions have their own terms (checked September 25, 2026). For users based in the European Economic Area, Airbnb gift cards pay for stays only, not experiences. A code refused for residence reasons is not refundable when our page named the country correctly; the checks are in my gift card code doesn't work.
How do I pay for an Airbnb gift card?

How do I redeem an Airbnb gift card?
At airbnb.com/gift, signed in to your Airbnb account. Per Airbnb's help pages (checked September 25, 2026):
- Sign in to your Airbnb account, or create one: a gift card needs an account.
- Open airbnb.com/gift on a computer, in the app or in a mobile browser.
- Enter the gift card number and PIN.
- The full value of the card moves to your account as Gift Card balance.
- When you book, the balance is applied automatically. Airbnb still asks for another payment method on file.
What can Airbnb gift card balance pay for?
Accommodations, Experiences and Services on Airbnb. Per Airbnb, the balance does not pay Resolution Center payments, damage reports or other gift cards, and once added to an account it cannot be transferred (checked September 25, 2026). Airbnb also says its gift cards and Gift Card balances never expire and carry no fee.
When do I get my Airbnb code?
Your code appears on screen as soon as the payment confirms on the network. We also email you a link to it. How long the confirmation takes depends on the coin. Add the code to your Airbnb account before you book, since the balance is applied at booking. The delivery guide, how and when you get your code, covers the rest.
What if my Airbnb code doesn't work?
Check your country of residence and your Gift Card balance, then write to us. A code that was already added shows up as balance on your account. If the code is still refused, email samantha@genghis.pro with your order number and a screenshot of Airbnb's message. Refunds within 30 days if a code fails at first redemption, arrives incomplete or never arrives, or our page showed the wrong region. Read how to get a refund, and in which coin.
