    How do I verify my card using temporary authorisations?

    To verify your card this way, we’ll send two temporary authorisations of $1.99 or less to your debit or credit card. Temporary authorisations are temporary holds that won’t actually be charged to your card.

    To complete the verification process after you add a new card:

    1. Log in to your card issuer’s website
    2. Look for two temporary authorisations on your card
    3. Enter those amounts when prompted on Airbnb

    Once verified, you can use your card to book homes and experiences.
