Airbnb will now let you book by paying 50 percent in advance

The Verge ---------- Airbnb is introducing a new way for users to pay for rentals, letting them reserve accommodation by paying 50 percent upfront and 50 percent before they arrive. The feature, called Pay Less Up Front, effectively lets customers stagger the cost of accommodation. It’s perfect if you’re managing a budget, but want to make sure you don’t lose the rental for your upcoming vacation. Before this feature was introduced, rentals had to be paid for 100 percent up front. Airbnb says it hopes the feature will encourage customers to pick pricier accommodations.
