Marriott Homes and Villas is offering 4x points for stays at participating home rentals for stays of 3 nights or more.
The offer is applicable for stays with the check-in date on or after February 9th, 2022, and the check-out date before March 31st, 2022.
The booking should be done between February 9, 2022 (12:00 AM EST) – February 11, 2022 (11:59 PM EST).
There are several things wrong with this promotion.
It’s strange that the booking window is so small. I can understand if it was a flash sale like 25% off or 40% off. It would have made sense. Point multiplier promotions are rarely so short-lived.
The other thing that doesn’t make sense is that even if you are staying within the promotion dates but have booked in advance, you won’t be eligible for the promotion.
This is also pretty strange for a point multiplier promotion. It’s incentivizing canceling and re-booking a property.
4x points
Normally, you would earn 5 points per USD spent at Marriott Homes and Villas property.
With this promotion, you will earn 20 points per USD.
You will also get additional bonus points as per your Marriott Bonvoy elite status.
Gold Elite members get another 500 points as a welcome gift. Ambassador Elite, Titanium Elite, Platinum Elite get 1000 points.
Conclusion
If you can fit your stay in the booking window required for this promotion, 4x points is a good deal.
There are certain properties that might not be eligible for earning Marriott Bonvoy points and hence the promotion won’t be applicable on them as well.
