    How do I verify my card using temporary authorizations?

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

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

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

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