See your Airbnb balance online

  1. Open the official Airbnb gift card balance page (button above).
  2. Sign in to your Airbnb account — this checker requires you to be logged in.
  3. Enter the card number and PIN, then submit to see your balance.

What you’ll need

  • A registered Airbnb account (you’ll be asked to sign in).
  • The card number and the PIN from the back of the card.

Other ways to check

  • In store: take the card to any Airbnb location and ask an associate to scan it — there’s no charge to check.
  • By phone: call Airbnb customer service and follow the prompts for gift card balance, with your card number ready.
  • Keep your receipt: the balance is often printed on your receipt after a purchase.

Balance not showing?

  • Double-check the numbers — re-enter the card number and PIN exactly as printed; a single wrong digit is the most common cause.
  • Newly bought card? It can take a few hours to activate after purchase. Try again later.
  • Still stuck? Reach out to customer service with the card in hand, or ask an associate to scan it in store.

My Airbnb card shows $0 — what now?

Most $0 balances mean the card has been redeemed already, often in a partial purchase you forgot about. Cross-check your recent orders. If the card was never used and still reads zero, that points to an activation issue at the register — keep your receipt and reach out to Airbnb support, since they can look up the activation log and restore funds if the card was sold but never activated.

How swapping an Airbnb gift card on FlipGift works

If the balance you just checked is a card you won’t use, here’s the short version of the swap process:

  1. List your card — enter the brand, face value, and the gift card code. We encrypt the code with AES-256 before storage; only verified counterparties ever see it.
  2. Pick brands you’d accept — the more brands you’re open to, the faster you match. Popular brands trade close to face value.
  3. Get matched and verified — once we pair you with someone who wants your Airbnb card and has a card you want, our system verifies both balances before any codes change hands.
  4. Receive your new card — codes are released to both sides simultaneously, with a 48-hour dispute window for protection.

Airbnb gift card balance — FAQ

Can I check an Airbnb gift card balance before redeeming?

Yes — enter the card number and PIN at airbnb.com/giftcards/redeem to see the remaining amount before you add it to an account.

Where’s the PIN on an Airbnb gift card?

Both physical and digital Airbnb cards have a longer card number and a shorter PIN — you’ll need both to check the balance or redeem.

Do Airbnb gift cards expire?

No — Airbnb gift card funds never expire, on the card or once loaded to your account.

Can I get cash for an Airbnb gift card?

No — Airbnb credit only goes toward bookings and isn’t cashable. To get value from a card you won’t use, swap the code before redeeming.

What can I do with an Airbnb card I don’t want?

Swap the un-redeemed code on FlipGift for a gift card you’ll actually use — peer-to-peer, with no fees or commissions.

Can I combine multiple Airbnb gift cards?

Airbnb usually lets you apply more than one gift card to a single order at checkout. The exact limit depends on the platform (online vs. in store) — if a card isn’t accepted at the register, try splitting payment online instead.

What can I do with an Airbnb gift card I don’t want?

You can swap it on FlipGift for a gift card you’ll actually use — peer-to-peer, with no fees or commissions — instead of letting the balance go to waste.
