If you ever miss out on a Marriott Homes & Villas promotion, don’t worry as another promotion is almost certainly around the corner. To prove that point, just a few days after the last promotion ended, the Homes and Villas team has launched a new deal in which select bookings will earn triple base Bonvoy points.
The promotion
Reserve a 3+ night stay in a private home rental and earn 3X points on stays made by 31 May 2024.
Key terms
- A “stay” is defined as three (3) or more consecutive nights spent at the same property, regardless of check-in and check-out activity.
- Registration of Marriott Bonvoy Member’s Marriott Bonvoy account is required for this promotion. Members must register by 27 March 2024 (here).
- Registered Marriott Bonvoy Members earn triple points per eligible paid stay at a participating home rental booked by 23:59 EST on 27 March 2024 through the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website (“HVMB Platform”). Payment for stay must be made in cash.
- Stays of three (3) or more consecutive nights must be completed during the promotion earning period, beginning 9 March 2024, up to and including nights stayed on or before 31 May 2024.
- Members earn five (5) base Points for each U.S. dollar, or the currency equivalent, on all Qualifying Charges incurred and paid for by the Member through the HVMB Platform.
- Promotion bonus Points are calculated based on 3X base Points earned per stay within the promotion earning period and do not include Elite bonus points also awarded for the stay.
- Charges that do not qualify for Points include, but are not limited to, taxes, booking fees, cleaning fees, security deposits, and extra add-on services purchased and/or applied to home rentals booked through the HVMB Platform.
- Home rentals booked through third-party online retailers are ineligible to earn for this promotion.
- Marriott Participating Brand Residences may be featured on the HVMB Platform: however, they do not participate in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program and do not participate in this promotion.
- Marriott branded hotels, branded residences, and Marriott Executive Apartments are not included/eligible for this promotion.
- Award redemption stays where Points are redeemed for a portion of, or the entire stay are not eligible for the promotion.
- Provided that the correct Marriott Bonvoy Membership Account Number is added as part of the booking process, Points will automatically appear in the Member’s Account within seventy-two (72) hours following the completion of their stay.
- Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion.

Marriott Homes & Villas potential earnings
Homes & Villas bookings earn all Bonvoy members a standard 5 points/dollar before any elite status bonuses are factored in. This promotion will therefore triple that to 15 points/dollar.
On top of that, we have the Bonvoy elite bonuses which will make the potential earnings look like this:
- Member – 15 points/dollar (no additional bonus)
- Silver Elite – 15.5 points/dollar (includes 10% bonus on base earnings)
- Gold Elite – 16.25 points/dollar (includes 25% bonus on base earnings)
- Platinum Elite – 17.5 points/dollar (includes 50% bonus on base earnings)
- Titanium & Ambassador Elite – 18.75 points/dollar (includes 75% bonus on base earnings)
As things stand, I continue to value Bonvoy Points at 0.6 cents each (based on the value that I know I can get out of them with relative ease) despite the move to dynamic pricing, and that means that I view the latest Homes & Villas promotion as allowing Bonvoy members to earn effective rebates of between 9% and 11.25%.
Anyone booking their stay with a Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card can boost their earnings further, so with some cards offering up to 6 points/dollar spent with Marriott (terms apply), the total effective rebate on offer for select cardholders will rise to between 12.6% and 14.85%.
Bottom line
The Homes & Villas marketing team is now running a new promotion that triples the number of base Bonvoy points that members can earn when they make a booking of 3 or more nights through the Homes & Villas website by 27 March 2024 for stays with a checkout date of 31 May 2024 or earlier.
