I've had two good stays at AirBnB's over the last few years, but am now considered a nice looking place where there aren't any reviews. Host seems to have been a guest at other places, with solid reviews.
So my concern is that if they cancel for any reason (trip is 6 weeks out) would the credit card insurance provide any protection? Anyone ever tried that?
Thanks

In my experience, Airbnb is of limited help. When faced with a late cancellation for a trip last month, was offered a refund or credit. At 48 hours to outbound flight, there were not many alternatives available, other than to book with one of Airbnb's "super hosts" at a cost of $450 more. After back and forth with Airbnb customer service, they offered nothing to compensate for the higher cost.
