Earn $30 or 5,000 Bonus Points at Airbnb With New Amex Offer [Targeted]

One of the best perks of having an American Express credit card in your wallet is having access to Amex Offers.

Case in point: Right now, some cardmembers can take advantage of an offer that would allow them to earn either $30 back or a bonus of 5,000 American Express Membership Rewards points when booking an Airbnb stay of $250 or more. This offer is targeted, so your offer may vary.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Airbnb Amex Offer Details

Like most Amex Offers, the Airbnb offer is targeted (so don’t be surprised if you don’t see this offer in your account). However, if you have multiple Amex cards, be sure to check each of them all and pick the version that is best for you.

The Upgraded Points team is currently seeing 2 different offers:

• Spend $250 or more and earn 5,000 Membership Rewards points.
• Spend $250 or more and earn $30 back.

If you are targeted, remember to activate the offer by saving it to your card before making the purchase, or else you won’t receive your bonus points or cash back as a statement credit.

You’ll be required to spend at least $250 in 1 or more transactions either online at Airbnb.com or through the Airbnb app (iOS, Android), and you have until May 5, 2026, to book your eligible stay.

Is It Worth It?

If you are planning an Airbnb stay in the near future, using a card with one of these offers absolutely makes sense.

Saving cold, hard cash on an Airbnb booking is always welcome. However, when comparing the offers, one is far more attractive, especially for those in the points and miles community.

We value Amex Membership Reward points at 2.2 cents apiece, meaning those 5,000 bonus points would be worth about $110. That’s a nice return on your spending and far better than, for example, receiving $30 off your stay.

So, if you are lucky, you will have the 5,000-point offer.

Final Thoughts

American Express has rolled out targeted offers for stays with Airbnb, the popular short-term lodging service.

We are seeing 2 versions of this offer. The first is worth $30 back after spending $250 or more, and the second is worth 5,000 Membership Rewards points after the same amount of spend. Since we value those 5,000 points at about $110, this offer could represent significant savings on your next trip.
