That's why try to always pay with credit card (preferably Amex).
- saagarjha 8y agoAnd what, do a chargeback? That's a very easy way to get banned for life from the platform.
- thatoneuser 8y agoSo? The guy paid for a week of unusable living. Why would you want to be on that platform?

- rickyc091 8y agoActually, I tried to file a chargeback with Amex! They declined it since they said the cancellation of policy was set to "strict" https://www.airbnb.com/home/cancellation_policies#strict-with-grace-period https://www.airbnb.com/home/cancellation_policies#strict-wit.... > If the guest cancels less than 7 days in advance or decides to leave early after check-in, the nights not spent are not refunded. ^ I basically got hit with that rule. ---- Edit: Wanted to add that I'm pretty sure AMEX has a partnership with Airbnb since I always notice the promotional deals pop up. Spend $200, get $50 back.
- tomp 8y agoInteresting, I'm disappointed by AMEX... What about this part? > this wasn't disclosed in the listing Isn't that basically "false advertising" or "bought something and got a different item"? I thought credit cards/AMEX would cover that... anyhow, very disappointing.
- nojvek 8y agoStrict cancellation is just a scam. Airbnb is asking you to spend thousands of dollars on something you haven’t even seen with your eyes. Their pictures are notoriously decieving with the wide angle HDR shots. It’s just really hard to find a quality place on Airbnb amongst all the noise. They come nowhere close to the customer obsession Amazon has.
- mtnGoat 8y agoDon't use amex in these cases, they are very pro-business and tend to take their side in disputes.
