How I Earned Delta SkyMiles With Airbnb Experiences
Discover how booking Airbnb Experiences can help you rack up Delta SkyMiles without ever stepping on a plane.
Short Answer: By booking Airbnb Experiences through Delta Air Lines’ partnership, you can earn SkyMiles on qualifying tours and activities without flying.
How It Works
Delta Air Lines has teamed up with Airbnb to offer SkyMiles when you book Airbnb Experiences. These experiences include guided tours, cooking classes, and unique activities hosted by locals. When you reserve an experience via the Delta SkyMiles portal or link your SkyMiles account during checkout, you accumulate miles based on the amount you spend.
Practical Steps to Earn SkyMiles
- Create or log in to your Delta SkyMiles account.
- Access Airbnb Experiences through the Delta SkyMiles website or app.
- Choose your desired experience and book it, ensuring your SkyMiles number is linked.
- Earn miles proportional to your spending on the experience.
Example Scenario
Suppose you book two Airbnb Experiences in Rome, each costing $100. If Delta awards 1 mile per dollar spent, you would earn 200 SkyMiles total. These miles add up just like miles earned from flights, helping you get closer to free flights or upgrades.
Alternatives and Next Steps
- Explore other partners in the Delta SkyMiles program to earn miles on everyday spending.
- Use Delta SkyMiles credit cards to maximize mile accumulation.
- Combine miles earned from Airbnb Experiences with miles from flights to boost your balance faster.
Bottom Line
Booking Airbnb Experiences through Delta’s partnership is a simple way to earn SkyMiles without flying. It’s an excellent option for travelers looking to accumulate miles through unique activities and local adventures, adding value to their travel budget.
