Marriott has launched a new promotion for travelers booking Homes & Villas properties and for some readers, this could be a chance to top up your Bonvoy balance in a meaningful way.
If you register for the offer and book by December 15, 2025, you can earn 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points per stay at participating Homes & Villas properties. Your stay must be at least two nights, completed before December 31, 2025, and have a minimum spend of $2,000 (excluding taxes, cleaning fees, and other non-qualifying charges).
The spend requirement is on the higher side, but Homes & Villas properties are designed for families, groups, or premium stays, where a $2K booking can be relatively easy to reach. If you haven’t locked in your end-of-year villa stay yet, this could be worth considering.
How the Offer Works
To qualify, you must register your Marriott Bonvoy account for the promotion before booking here. Once registered, any eligible stay will automatically trigger the 20,000-point bonus, plus:
- Standard 5 base points per USD on qualifying charges
- Any elite bonus points you normally earn
Points are typically posted within 72 hours after checkout, provided your Bonvoy number and email address are correctly entered during the booking.
Stays booked through third-party sites do not count. Only reservations made directly through the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website are eligible.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
To take part in this promotion, you must first register by December 15. Only bookings made through the official Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy platform are eligible. Each stay must meet the $2,000 minimum spend, though taxes, fees, and cleaning charges do not count toward this amount. Award stays where points are used for any part of the booking are not eligible, and members choosing to earn miles instead of Bonvoy points cannot participate. Note that Marriott hotels, branded residences, and Executive Apartments are excluded, and some Participating Brand Residences displayed on the platform do not earn points. Finally, no points are awarded for cancellations or no-shows.
Conclusion
This promo won’t be useful for everyone due to the $2K minimum spend. But if you already plan a villa getaway with family or friends before the end of the year, picking a Homes & Villas property and registering for this offer could easily net you 20,000 extra points per stay.
And, as always, compare prices across platforms before booking. Homes & Villas listings appear on many sites, and rates are not always the same.
