What Changed
Regular Airbnb bookings through Amex Travel or its app earn 5x Membership Rewards points when paid with a personal Platinum or Business Platinum card. This provides a points-earning option beyond the separately highlighted Airbnb Luxe credit benefits.
Our Take
This is worth considering if you hold an eligible Platinum card and want to earn points on an Airbnb stay. Compare the value with discounted Airbnb gift cards, which can sometimes offer a better deal, and account for any shopping portal rewards you would forgo.
