Adding a payout method as a guest
While we do our best to ensure that everything on your trip goes right, from time to time, Airbnb may, at its discretion, offer to reimburse you for an expense you incur outside of what was agreed upon for a booking. Setting up a payout method allows Airbnb to reimburse you, if necessary.
