Airbnb Payment Specifics: how it works in any — first-hand

Short answer
For payments in Latin America, use USD and select 'Credito' on terminals, while avoiding bank currency exchanges. For Airbnb, use non-Russian accounts with a VPN, ensure all profile settings match that country, or utilize third-party currency exchange services.

From real experience

For Latin America, USD is the preferred currency.
When using foreign debit cards, always choose 'Credito' mode on the payment terminal. Belarus/Russian bank cards may not work for subscriptions like Uber or Airbnb; crypto-based payments or local debit solutions are more reliable. Avoid exchanging at banks without checking local market rates, as they may use unfavorable spreads.

To make payments on Airbnb with non-Russian cards, consider these strategies: 1. Update your profile information to reflect a non-Russian country (e.g., Kazakhstan), using a VPN for access.
2. Create a new account, specifying a non-Russian country, and use a VPN consistently. 3. Ensure all profile details (address, currency) are set to the non-Russian country. Airbnb actively blocks Russian IP addresses.

If experiencing payment issues with Kazakh bank cards on Airbnb, check for error messages.
While Airbnb is known to block Russian and Belarusian cards, issues with Kazakh cards are less common. Ensure there are no regional payment restrictions set in the user's account or banking app.
