With Delta, the fit is clear. Now, every stay can go further \u2014 giving guests the ability to earn Delta miles toward their next trip,\u201d said Dave Stephenson, chief business officer at Airbnb, in a press release. \u201cBy combining Delta\u2019s loyalty program with Airbnb\u2019s global platform, we\u2019re making travel more rewarding. Every trip can now help power the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The change broadens a partnership that began in 2016, when Airbnb and Delta linked their platforms so travelers could earn miles on qualifying Airbnb stays. Airbnb said guests have earned millions of miles through the partnership since then.<\/p>\n<p>The new structure reflects how travel loyalty programs are moving beyond flights and hotels to capture more of the trip. Airbnb Experiences can include activities such as cooking classes, tours, and other bookable activities, while Airbnb Services are designed around trip-related needs. The expanded earning option means a traveler booking, for example, a pasta-making class in Rome through Airbnb could earn Delta miles on that purchase, in addition to miles earned on an eligible stay.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How to take advantage of the upgraded Airbnb\/Delta partnership<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_890664\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-890664\" class=\"size-full wp-image-890664 wow-me lazy\" alt=\"airbnb app on phone\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/05\/airbnb-delta-2655690847.jpg\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-890664\" class=\"size-full wp-image-890664\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.matadornetwork.com\/blogs\/1\/2026\/05\/airbnb-delta-2655690847.jpg\" alt=\"airbnb app on phone\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-890664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo:  Yarrrrrbright \/Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>To earn miles, guests must connect their Airbnb and Delta SkyMiles accounts and make a qualifying booking within 10 days. Airbnb said travelers who need more time, or who want to book another trip, can renew that 10-day booking window by returning through deltaairbnb.com.<\/p>\n<p>The companies are also adding clearer in-app messaging to identify which Airbnb Stays, Experiences, and Services qualify for mileage earning. That change is intended to make the earning process more visible before checkout, rather than requiring travelers to calculate rewards after booking.<\/p>\n<p>For Delta, the expanded partnership adds another way to keep SkyMiles members engaged outside the airport. Airline loyalty programs have increasingly pushed into dining, rideshare, vacation rentals, credit cards, and travel activities as carriers compete for customer spending across the full travel cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDelta and Airbnb both understand that travel doesn\u2019t start or end at the airport,\u201d said Dwight James, senior vice president \u2014 customer engagement and loyalty for Delta Air Lines, and CEO \u2014 Delta Vacations. \u201cBy expanding how SkyMiles Members earn miles with Airbnb \u2014 from where they stay to what they do once they arrive \u2014 we continue to extend the value of SkyMiles beyond the flight and give Members more ways to turn memorable travel experiences into future trips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For travelers, the practical benefit is straightforward: Those already booking eligible Airbnb stays, activities, or services can add SkyMiles earning to purchases they may have made anyway. The main requirement is account connection before booking \u2014 and attention to whether the Airbnb product is marked as qualifying. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender wow-me lazy\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" style=\"width:15px;height:15px;\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({\"gtm.start\":(new Date).getTime(),event:\"gtm.js\"}),window.GoogleAnalyticsObject=\"ga\",window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)},ga.l=1*new Date,window.allGa=function(){},window.fbq=window.fbq||function(){fbq.callMethod?fbq.callMethod.apply(fbq,arguments):fbq.queue.push(arguments)},window._fbq||(window._fbq=fbq),fbq.push=fbq,fbq.loaded=!0,fbq.version=\"2.0\",fbq.queue=[],window.mnTrack=()=>{},window.enableTracking=()=>{function a(){dataLayer.push(arguments)}if(window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!1,window.dataLayer=window.dataLayer||[],dataLayer.push({eu_c:2}),[\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtm.js?id=GTM-59BP9J\",\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\",\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=G-QKD85ZJNHR\"].forEach(function(a){var e=document.createElement(\"script\");e.async=!0,e.src=a,document.head.appendChild(e)}),window.ua_enabled)for(var e of window.ga_properties)ga(\"create\",e.tracking_id,e.cookie_domain,{name:e.name,allowLinker:!0});if(window.ga4_enabled){var n={};for(var o in window.ga_custom_vars)n[window.ga_dimension_definitions[o]]=o;a(\"js\",new Date),a(\"config\",\"G-QKD85ZJNHR\",{custom_map:n})}for(var o in window.ga_custom_vars)window.ua_enabled&&ga(\"set\",window.ga_dimension_definitions[o],ga_custom_vars[o]),window.ga4_enabled&&a(\"event\",o+\"_dimension\",{[o]:ga_custom_vars[o]});if(allGa=function(){if(arguments.length){var a=[].slice.call(arguments);ga(function(){for(var e=a[0],n=ga.getAll(),o=0;o<n.length;o++)a[0]=n[o].get(\"name\")+\".\"+e,ga.apply(ga,a)})}},allGa(\"set\",\"anonymizeIp\",!0),mnTrack=(e=\"\",n={})=>{if(window.ga4_enabled&&!n.no_ga4&&a(\"event\",e,n),n.no_ga4&&delete n.no_ga4,window.ua_enabled){var o=[\"send\",\"event\"];\"page_view\"===e?(o[0]=\"send\",o[1]=\"pageview\",o[2]=void 0!==n.slug?n.slug:\"\",o=o.concat(n)):(o[2]=e,o[3]=void 0!==n.action?n.action:\"\",o[4]=void 0!==n.label?n.label:\"\",o[5]=void 0!==n.value?n.value:0,o[6]=void 0!==n.nonInteraction?{nonInteraction:1}:{}),allGa.apply(!1,o)}},mnTrack(\"page_view\",{no_ga4:!0}),fbq(\"dataProcessingOptions\",[\"LDU\"],0,0),fbq(\"init\",\"890302741001574\"),fbq(\"track\",\"PageView\"),!window.disableAds){var t=document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],i=document.createElement(\"script\");i.async=!0,i.src=\"https:\/\/securepubads.g.doubleclick.net\/tag\/js\/gpt.js\",t.parentNode.insertBefore(i,t)}},\/(^| )(CONSENT=2|EU=\\(null\\))(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie)?enableTracking():window.isTrackingConsentNeeded=!\/(^| )CONSENT=0(;|$)\/.test(document.cookie);<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matador Network may receive compensation if you make a purchase through these links. \u201cAt Airbnb, we\u2019re focused on creating more value for our community.
