Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Airbnb likely to lose more than 10K listings in NYC under tight new rules by NecessaryMistake9754

If you're good with credit cards and Google, you can get so many good deals on hotels and flights. Airbnb has none of those programs. Coupled with terrible fees I wouldn't bother with Airbnb in any American city.

I was so pissed that Uber got rid of the rewards program with the earning free rides. I used to take it all the time and then when it was gone it was like... well might as well take lyft more often.

Chase Sapphire Reserve with 10x Lyft points and free Lyft Pink (which also includes Seamless +) is the best part of that card. No delivery fees and 15% off every Lyft ride plus the points. If you don’t have, it’s a great card for living here.

This is why I never got into the Airbnb fad.

Between credit card points and direct incentive programs from hotels, you can get some great deals and savings, esp. if you travel somewhat regularly.
