Skift reports that on paper, Airbnb's exclusive short-term rental partnership with Amex Travel didn't change anything for Expedia because it wasn't supplying vacation rentals to Amex Travel.

This travel story centres on the United States. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include the Amex Travel-Airbnb Deal, Means for Expedia and Amex Travel.
