Airbnb’s Amex Travel Deal Puts It Inside a Key Expedia B2B Channel
· skift
SCRIPT: Airbnb just slipped in through a door Expedia thought it had locked. This week, Airbnb inked an exclusive short-term rental deal with Amex Travel — a channel Expedia's Vrbo used to own outright. Here's the kicker: Expedia wasn't supplying rentals to Amex anyway, so on paper, nothing changed. But Vrbo's been quietly feeding other B2B partners, and now Airbnb's sitting at the table. Translation? The vacation rental turf war just went corporate. If you book through Amex Travel, expect Airbnb listings where Vrbo used to rule. Bottom line — the platforms are fighting over your booking, and you get more options. Follow Trovlr for more travel news that actually affects your next trip.
