If Airbnb had a loyalty program with points, would you do it instead of hotels?

I'd consider but I prefer less personal experiences for work travel. I don't want to have to interact / figure out an apartment after working. As a tourist, it's added experience and novelty.

I could see them launching Airbnb Business and verified hosts who have a good track record could list on there for loyalty points. Just a thought

Airbnb is still too unpredictable for me. Most of the time I have great stays but if there is an issue I don't want to be stuck.

Because when you think about points redemption, some people like to vacation and have a full service home or apartment and don't like having a hotel which only has a bed

As someone who never stays in hotels and just transfers the points to airlines, I would consider it

Yes. As in delta?

Lol maybe when EY wins an AML case there

The thing is why would any consultant ever do Airbnb when we don't pay for the place? If my company is willing to put me in the W, I'm doing that over a person's apartment any day

When someone else is paying why not hotel. Maid cleans the room everyday. Amenities in house. Often in the best part of town

I would suggest Airbnb credit, not points. Remember some of them are personal homes..
