American Express and Airbnb just announced a major partnership. Here’s what changes for cardholders
For years, American Express has offered cardholders the chance to book stays at some of the world’s most exclusive luxury hotels through American Express Travel. Starting today, Amex is expanding that program to include a new type of stay: Airbnb. The credit card company announced a partnership with Airbnb on Thursday that will bring more than 1 million Airbnb listings to Amex Travel. The deal…
American Express and Airbnb have announced an expanded partnership, bringing over a million Airbnb listings to Amex Travel. U.S. cardholders can now book these properties directly through the American Express Travel website or app, earning Membership Rewards points on prepaid stays. However, the partnership brings significant changes for American Express Platinum cardholders.
Platinum cardholders can now utilize their existing $600 annual lodging credit for Airbnb Luxe properties and gain a new $250 Airbnb Experiences credit. This credit can be used for up to $250 in Airbnb Experiences annually, provided the cardholder has first booked an Airbnb Luxe property through their American Express card. The credit expires at the end of the calendar year, giving cardholders a limited time to utilize it.
While cardholders can view and manage their reservations on American Express Travel, they will still need to use Airbnb's platform for communication and making changes. The partnership aims to provide a broader selection of accommodations and enhance the travel experience for Amex cardholders.
