The customer service reps you're running down are only implementing the policies as laid out by Airbnb. They do as they're told or get fired They're not just making it up as they go along lol.
Airbnb policy is the problem not the reps themselves. Basically it's cheaper to screw you over then provide good service.
This isn't true at all. Most of the policies are ok, trying to protect guests and hosts fairly. The problem is it's a complete crapshoot getting a rep who knows the rules. I'm a host for 6 years with 1000s of reviews, and about 50 stays as a guest, I have never had a good interaction with support, where I don't have to argue, send them screenshots of their own policy, then do that again 3-4 times when the chat person goes on vacation, I get a call from them, then an email. All from different supper people, all who don't have to review what's already been going on with the case. Their support is SO poorly trained and just gives platitudes but 90% of the reps don't listen/ read/ understand the issue.
