Can I pay Airbnb with crypto?
Yes — you can pay Airbnb with crypto. Airbnb doesn't accept cryptocurrency directly, so you fund a Kripicard virtual Visa or Mastercard with USDT and add it as your payment method, then Airbnb charges that card for your booking like any standard Visa or Mastercard. Your spend is covered entirely from crypto, with no bank account required.
Paying Airbnb with USDT
Airbnb is one of the most-requested places Kripicard holders want to pay for with crypto, and it works exactly the way you'd hope.
Airbnb connects travelers with unique accommodations and experiences worldwide. Use your Kripicard crypto virtual card to book stays and activities. Because Kripicard issues a standard Visa or Mastercard virtual card, your booking is authorized over the same networks Airbnb already uses, so there's nothing different to configure on their side.
Travel bookings often place a temporary hold for the full amount, so the workflow below explains how to size your top-up correctly before you book with Airbnb.
