Earn Delta Miles Or Avios When You Book Your Airbnb

I love Airbnb. For my family of 5 (three teens), hotel rooms no longer work for us. Sure, we could get two rooms, but that can be expensive or use a lot of points. We don't tend to spend much time in the room so it's really just a place to sleep. 

Up until now, it's been difficult to earn miles/points for your airbnb stays. But now you can earn Delta miles or British Airways Avios points. Delta miles never expire so that's a bonus. British Airways Avios are easy to use on dozens of different airlines plus you only need about 8,000 points for short haul flights. When we visited Peru, I used Avios for all of our domestic flights saving me $600 per leg for our family of 5. 

Here's how it works:

1. Use this website link  and be sure your cookies tracking is on. to earn Avios. 
2. If you would like to book, click on the book now button. Avios will give you 3 Avios per dollar spend plus a bonus 500 miles for your first travel booking. 
3. If you would like to host, click on the host now button. Avios will give you a bonus 8,000 miles for your first hosting experience. 
4. Enter your Avios member number 
5. Book your Airbnb

You should see a credit within 60 days. I compared rates on this site with airbnb.com and they were the same. Although, the fine print says they could differ. 

Delta's link works the same way. You earn 1:1 when you book through this link  though it will take 8 weeks for the miles to post to your account. 

You will need to create a British Airways Avios account, Delta Airlines account and/or Airbnb account before you begin the process. 

Remember to use a credit card that gets better points/miles for travel like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Preferred or a card with a travel purchase eraser like Capital One Venture.

If you decide to open an airbnb account or apply for a Capital One Venture card, please use my referral links. It helps support this blog. Thank you!
