Hello fellow hosts..
Deidre & I have been a super hosts for close to 10 years, without a payout issue. We have always complied with the listing and ID Verification rules ETC..
I am due a payout of AUD$1032 since my guest checked out in 3rd April 2024 and it’s now 25th April.
I have called and spoken to the help Centre three times, they tell me, the case has been referred to a technical team, and they wish me lots of positive vibes , profuse praise and encouragement but no payout..
The support team on each occasion have written to me after the call and said they need to close the case in order to work on it which I do not understand.
So I am stuck and I am owed over $1000 With no one to talk to a support team that wants to close my case every time I call them.
Any ideas? Thank you
David.
this is one of the support messages:
“Hi David and Deidre,
My teammates have asked me to thank you for letting us know about this issue. They’re now investigating how it happened, and how they can fix it.
This is the case number that the engineers are working on Xxxxx, today they sent us an update that they already found the reason of the issue they called it: Stuck Payout for UID xxxx however they are still working to release the transaction.
While they’re working to do this as quickly as possible, they’re not able to say exactly when they’ll be done.”

I have several messages like this, but no resolution! whilst the positive language and emotional re-enforcement that these support agents give me with words like “stay positive” and “keep smiling” - these support agents really don’t seem to be doing anything to help..
any ideas?
thank you
David
