A pasta-making Airbnb Experience in Rome now comes with a side serving of Delta miles. Airbnb announced that Delta’s SkyMiles Members can earn 3 Delta miles per $1 USD spent on qualifying Airbnb Experiences and Services, and 1 Delta mile per $1 USD spent on Stays.1
Airbnb’s partnership with Delta began in 2016 with a shared goal to fuel adventures around the world. To date, Airbnb guests have earned millions of miles, to help power travel around the world.
Until now, rewards were earned only through qualifying stays booked on Airbnb. To bring even more value to our community, we’re expanding these benefits for millions of Airbnb guests and Delta SkyMiles Members. For the first time, guests can earn miles on qualifying Airbnb Experiences and Services, as well as Stays. Guests who connect their Airbnb and Delta SkyMiles accounts will also now be able to preview an estimate of how many miles they will earn before they book.2
“At Airbnb, we’re focused on creating more value for our community. With Delta, the fit is clear. Now, every stay can go further—giving guests the ability to earn Delta miles toward their next trip,” said Dave Stephenson, Chief Business Officer at Airbnb. “By combining Delta’s loyalty program with Airbnb’s global platform, we’re making travel more rewarding. Every trip can now help power the next one.”
Beyond mileage benefits, we’re making the experience smoother from start to finish with clear in-app messaging that highlights which qualifying Airbnb Stays, Experiences, and Services earn miles. Guests need to connect their SkyMiles and Airbnb accounts and make a qualified booking within 10 days. For guests that need more time or want to book another trip, the 10-day window can be easily renewed by visiting through deltaairbnb.com again.
“Delta and Airbnb both understand that travel doesn’t start or end at the airport,” said Dwight James, Senior Vice President — Customer Engagement & Loyalty for Delta Air Lines, and CEO — Delta Vacations. “By expanding how SkyMiles Members earn miles with Airbnb—from where they stay to what they do once they arrive—we continue to extend the value of SkyMiles beyond the flight and give Members more ways to turn memorable travel experiences into future trips.”
Airbnb guests and Delta SkyMiles Members can start earning miles on trips today by visiting deltaairbnb.com, connecting their SkyMiles and Airbnb accounts, and following the prompts to make eligible bookings.
