Airbnb gift cards work like Amazon gift cards. You redeem the gift card into a pooled balance, so when you book a reservation, you draw upon a single gift card balance.
I've had 47 airbnb stays since 2013, probably an average of 2-3 nights each, and haven't run into an issue that bad yet. I usually opt for the cheapest ones available.
That makes sense, the houses we get are for our 3 families (12 people total) so they can house 15-18 people total.
Now the question is: what do I do with Best Buy gift cards? The last BB gift cards I had were around for a few years before they had a good deal on a phone.
Anybody have sites that will buy them back for a small commission, or any other liquidation tips?
I got a new 2 TB full speed SSD upgrade for my PS5 with heat sink included for free.

My plan is to buy stuff that's rarely discounted (e.g. Nintendo Switch) and resell it for 20% off.
can anyone confirm if these can be used towards the remaining balance on an existing reservation when it is due later later in the summer?
to anyone using gift cards to pay the balance on an existing reservation: make sure to apply the gift cards and select "pay now" sometime before the next scheduled payment. if you wait for the 2nd scheduled payment date it will charge the full amount to your payment method and not automatically deduct your gift cards, even if they are loaded to your account.
(not 100% certain of this but i have never taken the chance, someone please correct me if i'm wrong)

I'm not fully understanding this. I have like $2300 left on a balance split across 2 payments that aren't taking place for months from now and I see no place to pay with a GC when I go into the reservation and attempt to add a new payment method. Any chance you can expand on this? I called Airbnb about it and they assured me that I can't apply a GC to an existing reservation with payment installments and that I would have had to split the 3-month stay into 3 separate 1-month stays and apply GCs to each individual initial payment. Maybe I'd be able to apply the GC if I had it loaded to my account? Unclear. Feel free to DM if you feel like it derails the thread.

Ah. Now that makes sense.
Hope you enjoyed your visit even if the airbnb wasn't the best.
Can I use those $90 Bestbuy digital cards to buy more Airbnb cards tomorrow?

Most likely. Search for similar deals here and you'll see how long they lasted.
