We often talk about the possibility of Accumulate points in airline loyalty programs when staying at certain hotels, and vicecersa. For example. I every time I fly with Air France and KLM I accumulate points on my Accor loyalty card and every time I stay in a Marriott hotel I accumulate points on my Emirates Skywards account.

These opportunities are free of charge and involve no waiver on the part of the member, you accumulate double points without losing anything. I write this because, in the past for example Hilton Honors allowed you to accumulate points from stays in different airline programs, Millemiglia included, but you lost a bonus of Hilton points.
How to earn Avios points with Airbnb
The best bonuses
Each reservation made through the dedicated page allows users to accumulate 3 avios points every euro spent (the conversion is the same even if you pay in dollars or British pounds). To obtain these points, however, one must book via the dedicated page, so past reservations and those made through other channels are not valid.
Before booking, you must enter your executive club number on the appropriate screen. You will then be taken to a dedicated version of the Airbnb site where you can proceed with your reservation.
A Unlike what happens with third-party bookings in hotel chains., here the presence of the account holder is not required in order to credit points. This means that it is potentially possible to accumulate avios points even when booking stays for friends and relatives.
In conclusion
These opportunities to accumulate double points, or rather points on two different programs, is not present on many programs. Here in the case of the British Airways executive club and Airbnb the added advantage is that to accumulate points you only need to be the person who physically makes the reservation, no need to be present at the time of check-in.
