Guests in some countries can’t save payment methods to their account

You can remove a payment method from your account unless it’s being used on a pending or active reservation, or a past reservation that ended less than 14 days ago. You also can’t remove your payment method if your host has requested a reimbursement from you and Airbnb is reviewing their request.
