Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy has launched a new double points promotion.
The standard Bonvoy earning rate with Homes & Villas is 5 points per $1. This is doubled to 10 points per $1 for all stays booked by 13th February.
Your stay can be for any date in 2025.
A three night minimum stay is required. Existing bookings do not count.
As a reminder, when you make a Homes & Villas rental, you earn points based on your total spend less booking fees, taxes, cleaning fees and extra add-ons.
Elite members of Marriott Bonvoy will earn a status bonus:
- Silver Elite: 5 base points per eligible dollar plus 10% bonus
- Gold Elite: 5 base points per eligible dollar plus 25% bonus
- Platinum Elite: 5 base points per eligible dollar plus 50% bonus
- Titanium Elite: 5 base points per eligible dollar plus 75% bonus
- Ambassador: 5 base points per eligible dollar plus 75% bonus
…. and Gold and above receive additional points as a welcome gift:
- Ambassador Elite, Titanium Elite, Platinum Elite: 1,000 points
- Gold Elite: 500 points
Each night you book counts towards elite status with Marriott Bonvoy but, oddly, does not count towards lifetime status (although some readers have found that it seems as if it does ….)
You can find full details of the double points offer on the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website here.
