Marriott Homes & Villas is the hotel giant’s answer to Airbnb, offering the ability to book entire apartments, condos, homes, villas, and more — ideal for anyone traveling with a group, for an extended period of time, or who just wants a little more space.

With thousands of properties available for booking, it’s possible to both earn and redeem your Marriott Bonvoy points for a stay.

And now, Marriott Homes & Villas has launched a limited-time offer to entice guests to stay — and it’s pretty lucrative. Here’s everything you need to know!

Offer Details

This offer only lasts for 2 days, so if you’re considering booking with Marriott Homes and & Villas, you’ll definitely want to do so during the promotion. Here’s a look at the terms of the offer:

You’ll earn 30,000 bonus points per eligible stay.
You Must book between May 16, 2022, and May 18, 2022.
You Must book a private home rental for at least 5 nights.
The promotion is valid for stays between June 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022.
No blackout dates apply.

This is a pretty decent offer, and if you’re looking to maximize the amount of Marriott Bonvoy points you’re earning, it’s definitely tempting.

Is It Worth It?

The Marriott Homes & Villas portfolio includes a wide variety of properties. They’re typically not cheap, so if you’re looking for budget pricing this promotion isn’t for you. However, many of the homes you’ll find on this platform can also be booked elsewhere.

Here’s a look at a 5-night stay in the Smoky Mountains, where booking for a group of 8 will cost $2,078.

We value Marriott Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents apiece, which means those 30,000 bonus points are worth $210. Also, note that this number doesn’t factor in any additional points you’d earn as a Marriott Bonvoy elite member.

Hot Tip: Stays with Marriott Homes & Villas earn elite night credits at the same rate as hotel stays, meaning you’ll be able to earn elite status with these stays.

However, this cabin is also available via Vacasa, another home-sharing site. The same home, on the same dates, and for the same amount of people, costs just $1,928 through Vacasa.

The cash difference is $150 between Marriott and Vacasa. This isn’t huge, but it could be a deciding factor if there weren’t an active promotion with Marriott.

However, with the promotion, you’ll earn more in points than the cash difference between the 2 sites by booking through Homes & Villas. On other days, however, Vacasa has Marriott beat.

Don’t forget, of course, that you can also choose to redeem your Wyndham points for Vacasa rentals at a rate of 15,000 points per bedroom, per night. In this case, it’d cost you 30,000 points per night to book this cabin.

Final Thoughts

Marriott Homes & Villas has launched its best-ever promotion, tipping the scales into its favor on home-share bookings.

Remember, though, that this offer is only valid for a very limited time — you’ll need to book between May 16, 2022, and May 18, 2022, if you’d like to earn the bonus points.
