Airbnb codes fail when they expired, the booking does not qualify, or the code went to another account. Check if it is a login, coupon or gift card code.
| Code | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| Verification code | Sign-in or account change screens |
| Coupon | At checkout, if Airbnb offered one to your account |
| Gift card | Account › Payments › Gift cards, or at checkout |
| Check-in code from a host | At the property, sent in your trip details |
If a text code never arrives, Airbnb may offer to send it by email or a phone call instead. Choose the other option on the verification screen, and check that the number on your profile includes the right country code.
Airbnb coupons usually come from Airbnb itself, have a minimum spend and an end date, and work once. Codes from websites are often not real.
Door codes are set by hosts. If one does not work, message the host in the Airbnb app. Contact Airbnb support if the host does not reply.
Never pay or talk outside Airbnb. Hosts or guests asking for a verification code, or for payment by wire transfer, are trying to scam you.

If a code tied to a booking still fails, contact Airbnb support from the trip page so they can see the reservation details.
Hosts receive codes for payout changes and new logins. Keep the phone on your host account current, especially before changing payout details.
Airbnb sometimes gives travel credit after a problem with a stay. Credits appear in your account and apply at checkout automatically. Check the expiry date, since credits can expire, and note that some can only be used for certain bookings or within a set time.
It may have expired or been replaced.
