Airbnb is globally rolling out split payments for group trips

The Verge --------- Airbnb is globally rolling out the ability to split payments, a feature it began testing earlier this year. With the newly implemented change, when a trip organizer requests to book a listing that allows for split payments, the reservation is marked as “awaiting payment,” which acts like a hold. The organizer’s portion of the payment is charged to their card and then the remaining members of the group have 72 hours to log on to Airbnb and pay their part. The payments can be split with up to 16 people on a single reservation. Airbnb also says that, even before booking, organizers can now put reservations on hold for group trips for up to 72 hours.
