Delta and Airbnb have a partnership through which SkyMiles members can earn 1 mile per dollar spent on Airbnb stays after you register and book through a special portal. And, a few months ago, the two companies offered a promotion where members could earn 3 SkyMiles per dollar spent on stays. Now, they're offering this elevated promo once again when you book through the portal. Just like before, however, this will only be valid for a limited time.

This time around, you have to book your stay by October 31, 2017 and complete your stay by October 31, 2018. As an added bonus, if you're a new Airbnb guest, you'll get $25 off your first stay of at least $75 as well as 2,000 bonus SkyMiles for your first stay of at least $150.

The bonus SkyMiles offer for new Airbnb hosts is still valid during this promotion. As a reminder, if you're a SkyMiles member and qualify to be a new Airbnb host, you could earn up to 25,000 bonus SkyMiles according to the earning structure below:

  • 2,500 bonus miles after your first $250 in Host Earnings
  • 7,500 bonus miles after a total of $1,000 in Host Earnings
  • 15,000 bonus miles after a total of $2,500 in Host Earnings

While earning 1 SkyMile per dollar spent isn't typically a great value, this limited-time bonus can be pretty lucrative if you're planning to stay in Airbnb properties soon. The homeshare giant also has partnerships with Virgin America and Qantas which allow you to earn miles or points with each airline for your stays.
