Heads up, travel hackers! British Airways Executive Club members now have a sweet new way to rack up Avios (British Airways' version of points) through Airbnb. You can earn 2 Avios for every £1 (or equivalent in your local currency) you spend on Airbnb stays and Airbnb Experiences. This is awesome because it basically gives you rewards for something you're probably already doing!

So, why should you care? Well, if you're a fan of using Avios for flights (especially short-haul ones within Europe, or those sweet sweet business class deals), this is a great way to boost your balance without even flying. Just remember to book through the British Airways portal to ensure you get those bonus Avios.

Maximizing your Avios earning potential is key to unlocking cheaper travel, and this partnership with Airbnb gives you a fantastic opportunity to earn faster and travel further!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
