Since its creation in 2008, Airbnb has taken the travel world by storm and currently dwarfs any hotel chain, with over 2 million properties in 191 countries and 34,000 cities worldwide. The company’s strength comes from its diverse locations and ease of availability often during times when hotels are unavailable or too expensive. It bridges a natural gap in the marketplace for many seasoned travelers. And many seasoned travelers use a mix of hotels and Airbnb stays during their travels. While Airbnb historically did not offer many rewards and tie-in, the company has over time expanded its rewards and perks including a tie-in with Delta SkyMiles.
Airbnb, in conjunction with Gift Card Mall, is offering 20% off the purchase of gift cards. Cards are available from as small as $5 to a maximum of $500. The great news about Airbnb gift cards is that they do not expire, so even if you have no concrete travel plans in the next month or two, this should not present a problem. The offer is valid until December 17, 2016.
To take advantage of the offer all you need to do is head over to the Promotions page of Gift Card Mall.
Selecting the option to pick up the Airbnb gift card, you will be taken to a page where you’ll be able to choose the amount of the gift card, and the quantity of cards you want. To ensure that you get the discount, double-check in the delivery option that the promo code EGIFT is selected.

After selecting the quantity and amount of the cards you want, the following page will prompt you to enter the details of who will be receiving the card, including their email address. You can simply enter your details twice and ignore the optional message.

Finally, after all the details have been added to the cart, you will be taken to the checkout page. You should find that the 20% discount has been automatically subtracted to the bill.

You can see here that I bought a $25 gift card with a discount of $5. And in the card details, I have sent the card to myself. All you need to do after purchase is to head over to your Airbnb account and add the card.
Overall
This deal has no major restrictions, and with historically limited supplies, it is well worth picking up. Moreover, due to the absence of an expiration date, even if you don’t have any immediate travel plans, you can always hold on to them for a future.

While I realize I’m looing at a very old article, imp investigating how to get the best deals with Airbnb. I’m hopeful that it will still be valid. Fingers crossed
What a delight to find this blog entry! After being a bit timid to jump in to the AirBNB pool, I think now is the time.
Thanks for this one, a great tip for some upcoming travel
AirBnB is great. And the discount makes this worthwhile. I got my card. the only downside is that you can’t use this credit for stays over 28 days.
GiftcardMall are they secure, I have dealt with their parent company BlackHawk before and all negative experience
They are. I’ve had mixed experiences, but from a security perspective I wouldn’t have any concerns.
Never used AirBNB, but looks like a good time to try with this offer; thanks!
!!! Even though I don’t use AirBnb often, this is really a great deal. This can finally cover all those processing fees that make rooms on AirBnb more expensive than they seem at first.
Thanks, I think is a very good discount in my future trip stay.
Never used AirBnb before, am I the only one?
It is awesome — I’d give it a shot.
I suppose this is a good deal if you regularly book with AirBNB but I would much rather see gift cards from a major hotel chain like Hilton with 20% off.
Thanks! This is a no-brainer!
Not a bad way to bank and save for a future trip stay. thanks!!
I was about to book an AirNBN reservation and saw this post.
Perfect timing as I get to save 20% now!
Thanks!
Same for me. Thanks!
