The new policy prevents hosts from asking guests to strip beds, start a load of laundry and other tasks that "require significant effort or time."

The company will limit the chores hosts can require of guests, responding to complaints from travelers who said they shouldn’t have to do housekeeping while paying cleaning fees.

More than 1 million Airbnb listings are now available to book through Amex Travel, allowing customers to earn membership points on prepaid bookings.
