Why buy Airbnb gift cards with crypto?

Airbnb is a leading platform for booking short-term stays, vacations, and experiences around the world. With millions of listings in over 190 countries, Airbnb offers everything from cozy apartments to unique treehouses and luxury villas. By purchasing an Airbnb gift card with cryptocurrencies, you can book your next getaway without relying on banks or traditional payment methods. Whether you're traveling for work or play, paying with crypto gives you flexibility and freedom—fast.

Common challenges of using crypto for Airbnb purchases

Airbnb does not directly accept crypto

Airbnb does not accept cryptocurrency as a payment method, forcing users to convert crypto into fiat before booking.

High conversion fees

Converting cryptocurrencies to fiat often comes with high fees, making crypto payments more expensive.

Slow and complex transactions

Off-ramping crypto into your bank account can take multiple steps and several days, delaying your ability to pay for services like Airbnb.

Crypto off-ramps are not built for daily spending

Most crypto off-ramps are optimized for large withdrawals, not small daily transactions like booking an Airbnb. This makes everyday spending with crypto feel clunky and impractical.
