Last week we shared about the latest Marriott Homes & Villas promo giving 2x points on stays through the end of the year. You can supercharge that offer by stacking it with a new Amex Offer giving $250 back when spending $1,000.
The Deal
- Spend $1,000 on Marriott Homes & Villas stays & get $250 back with an Amex Offer.
Key Terms
- Expires April 15, 2024.
- Offer valid at participating Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
- Reservations for Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy properties must be made online at homesandvillasbymarriott.com.
- Excludes all other Marriott brands.
- Not valid on gift card purchases, online retail purchases, hotel amenities or purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points.
- Cancellation fees apply and may vary by property. See individual properties for details.
- Offer valid on property rate and charges incurred at time of reservation.
- Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy property made during the offer period with your enrolled American Express Card and which is in an amount totaling at least $1,000 USD as posted to your account.
- Offer not valid for stays that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date (for example, if the final payment that occurs 30 days before your stay falls outside of the promotion dates, it will not count towards qualification).
- Valid only on purchases made in US dollars.
Quick Thoughts
Based on searches of Marriott Homes & Villas I’ve done in the past, the properties don’t come very cheaply for the most part, so it shouldn’t be too hard to spend $1,000 if you’re staying for at least a few nights.
Although there are Homes & Villas all around the world, this Amex Offer only works in certain countries and regions – United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean – so bear that in mind if you were wanting to use this offer for a stay in Europe, Africa, Asia, etc.
As mentioned earlier, you can stack the savings with the 2x promo they’re running through the end of the year if you book by January 31. I wouldn’t be surprised if they run some other kind of promo after the end of January but before this Amex Offer expires though, so if you miss out on the 2x offer, keep an eye out for other opportunities to earn bonus Bonvoy points.
Either way, click through from a shopping portal to earn some cashback – you can check the best current rates here, here and here.

Is there a way to split payment?
Even just between 2 cards, like one for the pay now and one to Pay later?
Not that I’m aware of I’m afraid. You’d need to do two separate bookings, but doing that means you have to pay two sets of cleaning fees and possibly two sets of other fees too. That said, the $250 extra you’d get back from the Amex Offer might more than offset that.
Thank you so much for the response.
when I go to make a booking I see that there is an option to pay in cash And when I click on it, it gives me the option to put in a card to pay half now and half later. Do you have experience with this? Have they not let you switch the credit card for the pay later portion?
I’ve not booked with Homes & Villas before, so I’m not sure I’m afraid. If you were going to be booking a stay anyway, it sounds like this would definitely be worth a try – let us know if you do try and if it does work out.
Amazing how you produce the vast majority of the content on this site, despite being the part time one. Thanks for the analysis and heads up Stephen.
