Worldwide: Travellers can now earn Delta Air Lines frequent flier miles on Airbnb Experiences and Services through the newest loyalty collaboration between the companies.
The airline has expanded its partnership with Airbnb to allow Delta SkyMiles members to earn miles on qualifying Airbnb Experiences and Services. The new earning capability builds on the companies’ existing agreement, which already awards SkyMiles for stays in Airbnb Homes.
To start earning, travellers must link their Airbnb and Delta SkyMiles accounts on deltaairbnb.com. Once the accounts are connected, travellers will unlock a 10-day booking window and see the estimated number of SkyMiles they will earn on qualifying homes, experiences, and services within the Airbnb platform.
If travellers need more time to book, or are planning another trip, they can relink their accounts to unlock another 10-day booking window.
“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,” said Dwight James, Delta’s senior vice president of customer engagement & loyalty, and CEO of Delta Vacations.
Travellers will earn 1 mile per USD 1 spent on Airbnb Homes and 3 miles per USD 1 on qualifying Airbnb Experiences and Services. (Experiences and services provided by third-parties are not eligible for the offer.)
Highlights:
- Loyalty ecosystems are expanding beyond flights and hotels into experiences and services, with Delta and Airbnb deepening integration.
- Delta is using loyalty as a customer acquisition and retention channel inside third-party travel platforms, embedding SkyMiles visibility directly into the Airbnb booking flow to influence traveler behavior and repeat engagement.
- Airbnb Experiences and Services gain added visibility and conversion incentives through airline loyalty rewards.
