Data Point: My account, my wife's account were shut down for sending GC's to a friend (also got account shut). They eventually reopened the accounts, but they were vaguely saying something about not being able to use multiple Amex offers to send gC and make a booking. I wish they explained a bit more why that is not allowed, but just reporting my experience.

I was fine sending and receiving in three accounts, but wasn't more than $600 each.

There may be a $$ that will trigger a review by them, but in theory there should not be a reason why it wouldn't work.

How much did you send from each account?

It did not let me send $1,500 from any one account, but between the accounts I sent from, it was $3,700.

Can I buy/send airbnb gc for myself and use it with different email/account? Has anyone tried the above?

Thanks MP for the info.
Was it all at once or different days? Did they still allow you to use the credit?

Anyone have any other data points on shutdowns, or avoiding them?
I have two accounts I want to load for some long rentals but would like to avoid the headache of getting shutdown.

All was sent from 4 different accounts within 24 hours. In regards to the refund, they would not deal with the person who received the credit, rather they refunded the original payment method (which I am still waiting on some money).


Does it make sense they would go back to the person who purchased the credit and not the receiver? Let's say someone received it as a gift, are they really supposed to get the person who gave them the gift involved with something like this?

Interesting - anyone been able to slowly apply 500/day from mult accounts without getting shutdown - maybe keeping under that limit will fly under the radar (total speculation)

FWIW, I may have an email from them stating that you can apply an unlimited amount of gc's to an account.

That making a booking would make it more or less likely to get shut down?

Hello Yehuda,

This is **** with your Airbnb Customer Experience Team. It was a pleasure to be able to assist you today. I first off want to apologize for the incorrect information that I provided to you earlier. The Gift cards are a new launch for us and we didn't have all the information that I needed to provide for you. I advised you that it was one gift card per reservation, as we do for coupons. This is NOT the case. You will be able to use whatever amount that you have accumulated to your account. Please forgive me for that earlier information.
Since finding the only person in this big ole building, that knew the answer, I am passing it along to my team and they will be able to have this valuable information to use in the future.
I'm sorry if I frustrated you. But, I did tell you I would find you an answer and I did! I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

If you need any further assistance please give us a call or you can contact us by email. Thank you for being a part of the Airbnb family community.

Right - you just can't accumulate more than 5k at a time.
