Exciting news for Delta loyalists who love a good Airbnb: The two travel brands are teaming up to allow guests to earn Delta SkyMiles on stays, experiences, and services booked on the vacation rental platform. Points obsessives, rejoice.
As of May 5, travelers will be able to connect their Airbnb and Delta SkyMiles accounts to seamlessly earn 1 Delta mile for every $1 spent on eligible Airbnb Stays, and 3 Delta miles for every $1 spent on eligible Airbnb Experiences and Services. (In case you missed it, you can now book everything from walking tours to wheel-throwing workshops via Airbnb Experiences, and private chefs, makeup artists, and more using Airbnb Services.) That means you can splurge on a villa in the South of France this summer—plus a cooking class or in-home massage when you arrive—and use the Delta points you rack up to help you fly there (dare I suggest in business class, with the money you save?).
To start earning, you’ll need to link your Airbnb and Delta accounts via deltaairbnb.com. Once they’re connected, you’ll start receiving in-app messaging highlighting which Airbnb Stays, Experiences, and Services are eligible to earn miles, and estimates of how many miles you’ll gain for your bookings. It’s important to note, however, that accounts only stay linked for 10 days, after which you’ll need to visit deltaairbnb.com again to renew the connection for another 10 days. Be careful to book within the window to ensure you’re getting those sweet, sweet SkyMiles.
