Unique American Express Technology Allows Card
Members to Seamlessly Sign Up, Check Out and Verify their Profile
on Airbnb Using Their Existing americanexpress.com User ID and
Password
Card Members Can Also Use Membership Rewards®
Points on Airbnb for All or Part of Their Booking
American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Airbnb announce a
first-of-its-kind tech integration that enables U.S. Card Members
to quickly and seamlessly sign up for Airbnb and book stays at
close to 2 million listings around the globe. Starting today, Card
Members can create an Airbnb account with their existing
americanexpress.com User ID and Password. Card Members will also
have the opportunity to use their Amex login to identify themselves
as an American Express Card Member on their Airbnb profile as an
additional verification. Eligible Card Members can also use
Membership Rewards points to book accommodations directly on the
Airbnb site or check out with Amex Express Checkout in just a few
clicks.
“Our Card Members love one-of-a-kind and memorable travel
experiences, and with this partnership, we're creating a
frictionless and valuable way for them to take advantage of
everything Airbnb has to offer,” said Leslie Berland, executive
vice president, Global Advertising, Marketing & Digital
Partnerships at American Express. “Through our technology, we're
bringing to life our unique assets on Airbnb, delivering the
world-class service, experience and benefits Card Members expect
from their Amex Membership.”
“We welcome millions of Amex Card Members to belong anywhere
with Airbnb,” said Lex Bayer, Head of Global Payments and Business
Development, Airbnb. “Whether staying at a bungalow in Bali with
Membership Rewards points, or a business trip to London with your
Amex Card, this partnership makes booking an Airbnb in over 190
countries seamless and allows Card Members to be verified with
their American Express login within the trusted community of
Airbnb.”
How to Get the Most Out of Airbnb as an American Express Card
Member
Create an Airbnb Account in Just a Few Clicks
For the first time, Card Members can sign up for an account on
Airbnb using their Amex login that they use to check their account
online. Through the “Sign Up with Amex” button on the Airbnb site,
Card Members will enter their Amex login and American Express will
securely auto-fill the Airbnb set-up fields with their account
information and payment details. A Card Member is then set to check
out seamlessly and be verified with a badge on their profile as an
American Express Card Member.
Add Verification for Airbnb Guests and Hosts
Card Members who set up an Airbnb account with their Amex login
will have a badge on their Airbnb profile that shows guests and
hosts that they are an American Express Card Member. This exclusive
feature will allow hosts and guests to build their identity and
learn more about one another.
Turn Membership Rewards Points into Airbnb Trips
Card Members who are enrolled in the Membership Rewards program
can use points to book accommodations directly on Airbnb for the
first time by simply entering an eligible American Express Card at
checkout and adding the dollar amount in points they want to apply
to their booking. Card Members can easily check their points
balance on the Airbnb site before they check out, and use points
for all or part of their Airbnb bookings.
Fly Through Airbnb Checkout
Card Members who do not have an American Express Card on file
can check out quickly with Amex Express Checkout, the fast and
secure way for Card Members to pay online. Card Members will choose
Amex Express Checkout from the dropdown menu on the Airbnb payment
screen and then enter their existing Amex login. American Express
will auto-fill the Airbnb checkout fields with their Card details
and relevant account information in just a few clicks for seamless
bookings.
Spend $100, Get $50
Through Amex Offers, eligible U.S. Card Members can get $50 back
when they spend $100 or more on Airbnb through 12/31/2015. Terms
apply.
About the Membership Rewards Program
The Membership Rewards program from American Express offers more
than a million rewards from more than 500 brands. The program
allows Card Members to earn one point for virtually every dollar
charged on eligible, enrolled American Express Cards, with many
opportunities to earn points faster. Membership Rewards points are
redeemable in a wide selection of reward categories. Points have no
expiration date, and there is no limit on the number of points a
Card Member can earn. For more information about the Membership
Rewards program, visit: www.membershiprewards.com or call
