Quick Thoughts
This promotion certainly isn’t worth a mattress run given the fact that 20,000 points are only worth $140 according to our Reasonable Redemption Values and the minimum spend on your two-night (or longer) stay is $2,000. Realistically, this is a pretty small rebate given the required spend.
That said, it comes on top of the points you ordinarily earn for these bookings, so it’s better to register and take advantage if you’re booking a participating property at Marriott Homes & Villas has the right price (and keep in mind that you’ll earn elite night credit).
Note that you do need to read the terms carefully for some other gotchas. For example:
- 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.
I take that to mean that something like a Ritz-Carlton Residences could be listed but won’t qualify for the promotion.
Also keep in mind that you should comparison shop since you’ll sometimes find the same properties listed on other vacation rental sites like Airbnb and Vrbo and prices can vary. But if you’re getting a good deal, these points could be some icing on the cake.
