An Airbnb gift card can get you anything from a week's stay in Paris to a sushi making class in Tokyo or a tour of the Acropolis in Athens, to even a hiking adventure in Colorado. 

Airbnb gift cards are great gifts for the recipient, and equally great for the gift giver, as they can easily be purchased in stores as physical cards or bought online, in values ranging from $25 to $500, and shared digitally.

Whether you have a physical Airbnb gift card or a digital copy, the redemption method is the same.
