There’s an eye-catching new Amex Offer out today that’s giving a $40 statement credit when spending $80+ on Airbnb. However, there is a catch that reduces its utility—it’s only valid on Airbnb Experiences & Services, not on Airbnb stays. It will stack nicely though with a Delta promo through August 6 that’ll also earn you 2,000 bonus SkyMiles.
The Deal
- Spend $80 in one or more purchases of Airbnb Experiences & Services & get $40 back as a statement credit with an Amex Offer.
Key Terms
- Expires September 19, 2026.
- Offer valid only for Experiences and Services online only at US website airbnb.com or through the Airbnb app.
- Excludes Homes and Stays, and gift card purchases.
- “Service” means the services identified and labeled as “Services” on airbnb.com or through the Airbnb app, including, chefs, training, massage, photography, prepared meals, makeup, hair, spa treatments, catering and nails. “Service” does not include services transacted by Airbnb’s third-party partners, including, without limitation, rental car services, rideshare, airport pickups, food delivery, and such other third-party services that may be available from time to time.
- Purchases must be made in USD, and offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
Quick Thoughts
You can search Airbnb Experiences here and Airbnb Services here; those are links via its partnership with Delta (more about that in a moment).
The names of both these Airbnb features are fairly self-explanatory. Airbnb Experiences are experiences similar to those you might book through other sites like Viator and Klook—tours, activities, dining experiences, etc. Airbnb Services meanwhile allows you to book all kinds of services from photography to makeup to catering to spa treatments and much more besides.
As a result, spending $80 in order to trigger the $40 statement credit from this Amex Offer shouldn’t be too hard if you’re interesting in any of these experiences or services, especially seeing as it’s valid on one or more purchases, so you don’t necessarily need to spend $80 in one booking.
You can make this opportunity even more rewarding by taking advantage of Delta’s partnership with Airbnb. For starters, you’ll earn 3X Delta SkyMiles on Experiences and Services (1X on stays). In addition to that, through August 6, 2026 you’ll earn 2,000 bonus SkyMiles when spending $50+ on Airbnb Experiences and Services via this separate promotion. Spending $80 and getting $40 back, as well as 2,000 bonus SkyMiles and 240 additional SkyMiles from the 3X earnings, is a very good return. If you’d otherwise be booking activities through Viator to take advantage of Viator Amex Offers and/or Chase Offers, along with shopping portal rewards, it’d be worth giving Airbnb Experiences a once-over in case this opportunity ends up being even more rewarding.
As mentioned at the start of this post, bear in mind that this Airbnb Experiences and Services Amex Offer isn’t valid when paying for Airbnb stays.

I’ve got the $40 off $80 offer. I guess it’s good enough to make me look for places I’m traveling to? I knew Airbnb was trying this but it felt too needle-in-a-haystack to bother with. Also, I assume there may not be reliable reviews, so you might not know what you’re getting. Does anyone have experience booking these?
I got it and started looking in the app. Great way to get a massage discount or something like that.
My offer is also spend $80, $20 back
All of my offers are 20 back after 80
