Payment methods: QR, bank app, card and bonuses

A booking on Meiman is paid in two parts: the deposit on the platform right after the host confirms, and the balance at check-in. The deposit is paid one of two ways — «QR or bank app» or «Visa» — and part of it can be covered with bonuses.

QR or a banking app

This is how most payments are made in Kyrgyzstan. You pick «QR or bank app» and a payment page opens with two tabs. The «Fast payment» tab lists banking apps: MBANK, Optima24, Bakai24, Demir, Ayil Bank, Eldik Bank, Kompanion, Simbank, Namba, Balance.kg, Megapay. Choose yours and confirm the payment inside the banking app. The «QR code» tab shows a code on the screen — scan it with any banking app. Neither way asks for card details.

Visa bank card

The second option is «Visa»: the card details are entered on the secure page of the bank. This is the option if you are not paying from a Kyrgyz banking app — from abroad, for example.

Paying from Russia

We do accept payments from Russia. If you have a Visa card, pay the usual way — the «Visa» option at the payment step. If you do not have one, write to us before paying: phone and WhatsApp +996 550 993 993, email partners@meiman.kg — a manager will tell you how to make the deposit in your case.

Bonuses

Bonuses cover 10 to 15% of a booking, with the limit set by the property. They are earned by inviting friends: 200 som for the friend and 100 som for you — see the referral programme, and how they are spent is in Meiman bonuses.

What is paid when

• The request — free, nothing is charged;
• the deposit — after the host confirms, with 2 hours to pay;
• the balance — at check-in, on site. The exact amount is shown in the listing before you book.

It is the payment that secures the room: a host confirmation does not hold the dates, so several guests can hold the same ones and the booking goes to whoever paid first.

Meiman holds the deposit until you check in and passes it to the host only after arrival — why it works this way is explained in Is it safe to book accommodation online.

If the payment fails

Check your card limit or account balance, go back to the booking and start the payment again: the booking waits for 2 hours. If that time runs out, the request has to be created anew. The step-by-step order is in How to pay for your booking.
