How do I verify my card using temporary authorizations?
To verify your card this way, we’ll send two temporary authorizations of $1.99 or less to your debit or credit card. Temporary authorizations are temporary holds that won’t actually be charged to your card.
To complete the verification process after you add a new card:
- Login to your card issuer’s website
- Look for two temporary authorizations on your card
- Enter those amounts when prompted on Airbnb
Once verified, you can use your card to book homes and experiences.
