Delta Airbnb deal
Hi everyone, I just booked about $1,000 worth of Airbnb stays and then I came to find out that if you book through the Delta link, you get 1,000 bonus miles your first time plus 1 SM/$1 spent. Essentially this means I would get 3,000 miles (because I'll be using my SkyMiles AMEX). Cancellation policy is not flexible at all, is there a way to link it afterward? Thanks!

No way to link afterward, sorry.
You can ask your AirBnB host to allow your cancellation (the policy is up to them), understanding that you will rebook immediately. If it involves foreign currency, the price may change however.

Haha true, contrary to many people on here and probably because I live in Atlanta, I try to accumulate and hoard as many SkyMiles as possible. I tend to get relatively good value out of them although I know there are other programs that I could probably benefit more from.

This has to be one of the lamest integrations since you have to start your booking through a landing page and everything had better match perfectly between your accounts. I rarely received the miles.

Agreed. This is not a serious partnership. And it seems like Airbnb has had trouble sustaining partnerships. Remember when you could pay with Amex MR points for like a year? That's gone.

I used it a while back with success. The property was a nice inn with its own reservation system so they asked me to book directly next time and not go through Airbnb. We use Lyft all the time to gather some SkyMiles.

Just did the same thing and I haven't had anything post in 2018. Everything stopped in Dec 2017, back when everything posted rather quickly. Just sent a request for mileage credit to see how Delta responds.
