Guests in some countries can’t save payment methods to their account
Guests with payment methods based in some countries—like India and Brazil—may not be able to add a payment method to their account. In this case, you’ll need to add your payment details at checkout when you’re booking the reservation. Find out more about what payment methods are accepted in certain countries.
Remove a payment method
You can remove a payment method from your account unless it’s being used on a pending or active reservation, or a past reservation that ended less than 14 days ago. You also can't remove your payment method if your host has requested a reimbursement from you and Airbnb is reviewing their request.
