There’s a new Marriott Homes & Villas Amex Offer out which is giving $250 back when spending $1,000 or more in one or more reservations.
The Deal
- Spend $1,000+ in one or more transactions with Marriott Homes & Villas and get $250 back with an Amex Offer.
Key Terms
- Expires April 13, 2025.
- 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.

- Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a participating 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, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Cardmember Agreement.
- 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).
Quick Thoughts
This offer provides some very nice savings if you’ve been considering a Homes & Villas stay. Even if you hadn’t been looking at one previously, it could be worth checking out your options if you need to book any paid accommodation for the coming year as the $250 statement credit could more than offset any additional cost that comes from booking through this platform.
The final line of the terms suggests that you might be able to pay for some of the stay now and some in the future. If that’s the case, you might be able to pay $1,000+ now to utilize the Amex Offer on one card, then pay the balance of $1,000+ on another card with the Amex Offer loaded to it in order to earn two sets of $250 statement credits. Please let us know in the comments if you’ve been able to do something like that in the past.
Marriott Homes & Villas frequently runs promotions giving bonus points on stays which will stack nicely with the savings from this Amex Offer. For example, you can currently earn double points on stays booked by February 13 (we’ll be posting about that separately later today).
Don’t forget to click through from a shopping portal before making your reservation(s). You can find the current rates here, here and here.
Often times Homes & Villas charges an additional security deposit, which is refundable. I’m curious how this could impact the credit. Say for example if the stay is $750, plus $300 security deposit, totaling $1050. I assume you would get the $250 credit from Amex. But then after your security deposit is returned, would the $250 bonus be clawed back?
