Buy Airbnb Gift Card for Canada (CAD)

Ferdousur RahmanOct 1, 20264 min read60 views

Canada Airbnb gift card in CAD: 13 values, 50 CAD to 500 CAD, delivered as a code and added to a region-matched Airbnb account as booking balance.

An Airbnb gift card for Canada is prepaid balance for the Airbnb platform: the code carries a face value, and the whole amount is added to an Airbnb account, where it pays for bookings. The Canada listing holds 13 values in CAD, from 50 CAD to 500 CAD, and the balance is added at airbnb.ca/gift.

What the Airbnb Balance Pays For

The balance is prepaid credit for the platform. Airbnb notes that it is applied to the booking automatically, and that stays and experiences are both eligible in much of the world, so a Canada account can put the value toward whichever bookable trip it likes.

Values on This Page

Canada carries 13 face values in CAD, from 50 CAD to 500 CAD: 50 CAD, 60 CAD, 75 CAD, 100 CAD, 125 CAD, 150 CAD, 175 CAD, 200 CAD, 250 CAD, 300 CAD, 350 CAD, 400 CAD and 500 CAD. All 13 are in stock today, so the table on the listing can be ordered as shown. The family runs from a single value up to 16, so this sits in the middle of that range.

Every step is denominated in CAD and added to the account at the value printed on it, so the figures above are the card's own design. Availability moves per step, which is why the table on the listing is worth reading before picking one.

Which Account This Gift Card Reloads

The rule that decides whether the code lands is the account's country of residence. Airbnb's Canada terms allow a card bought in Canada to be used only by individuals residing in Canada, and only with a valid payment method issued in Canada. This is the Canada card, denominated in CAD, and the whole value is transferred to the account when the code is added.

An account registered elsewhere needs the matching market instead, which is why the Germany and the Spain are separate listings. Checking the account's country before buying is the whole of it.

How to Redeem an Airbnb Gift Card

Redemption runs on Airbnb's own pages, not through this store, and the steps are the same in every market:

  1. Open airbnb.ca/gift in a browser and sign in to the Airbnb account that should hold the balance, or create one first.
  2. Enter the gift card number - 19 digits - and the alphanumeric PIN, which is printed on the back of a physical card and shown alongside a digital one.
  3. Select Redeem gift card. The whole face value is transferred to the account and shown as gift card balance.

Airbnb adds one timing note worth knowing: once a reservation is confirmed, the payment method on it cannot be changed, so the balance is best redeemed before the booking is finalised.

Does the Gift Card Expire?

Airbnb's gift card terms are unusually clear on this point: no fees of any kind apply to gift cards, and gift cards and gift card balances do not expire. Because the balance never runs out, redeeming a Canada card early is about safety rather than deadlines - Airbnb recommends adding it to the account straight away so a lost card can't strand the value.

Delivery

The code arrives electronically - on the order page and in the inbox - once payment is confirmed, typically within minutes. There is no courier and no address field, so the card can sit until the account it belongs to is ready for the balance.

Before You Buy

The account's country of residence is the first thing worth confirming: Airbnb's Canada terms allow a card bought in Canada to be used only by individuals residing in Canada, and only with a valid payment method issued in Canada. After that, note that gift card balance can't cover Resolution Center payments, damage-report amounts or another gift card, and that a second payment method is still required at checkout.

If the account's country is Canada, order from this page: 13 values in CAD, issued automatically after payment and redeemed at the regional gift page. Start with the Canada Airbnb gift card, and use the Spain when the account sits elsewhere.
