Whether you’re planning a short summer escape or a longer stay in a home-away-from-home, now’s a good time to consider booking through Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott’s vacation rental platform is offering double Bonvoy points on eligible stays—giving you a chance to pad your points balance without doing anything different than you already planned.
Book a minimum of two consecutive nights by July 20, 2025, and complete your stay between July 14 and September 7, 2025 to qualify. This promotion applies globally and is valid on paid stays made directly through the Homes & Villas platform. No registration is required.
For Marriott Bonvoy members, especially those chasing elite status or looking to top up their balance, this offer could be useful.
Here’s what you need to know and how to make the most of it.
What Is Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy?
The Marriott International hotel chain offers a curated selection of over 100,000 vacation rentals around the globe, in addition to its portfolio of hotel properties.
Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, which is Marriott’s answer to compete with Airbnb, launched in 2019, and tends to focus on higher-end rentals in each regional market.
The home rental program allows Marriott loyalists to experience unique accommodations with an elevated travel experience as an alternative to the traditional portfolio of Marriott hotels. At the same time, you still have the opportunity to earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points.
Staying with Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy earns elite qualifying nights towards your Marriott Bonvoy status, so it’s always worth checking the Homes & Villas platform if you’re in the mood to book a vacation rental instead of a hotel for an upcoming trip.
Just like Airbnbs, the Homes & Villas properties are run by individual owners or management companies and not by Marriott; instead, the rentals are simply stamped with the promise to deliver the same standards you can expect while staying at a Marriott property.
To qualify, you need to book a paid stay of at least two consecutive nights through the official Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website between July 14 and July 20, 2025.
Only cash bookings are eligible, and points won’t be awarded on cleaning fees, taxes, or extra services. Redemptions using Bonvoy points—even partial ones—are excluded from this offer.
You can book anywhere in the world, as there are no geographic restrictions. Just make sure your stay falls within the eligible travel window and is booked by the deadline.
Elite members will see even more upside. For example, Platinum Elites will earn a 50% bonus on the base points, and they’ll also receive a 1,000-point welcome gift.
Combine that with the 10x base earn (2x the regular 5x rate) and a Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card earning 5x or 6x points per dollar, and the total return can get quite rewarding.
How to Maximize the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy Promotion
To really stretch this promotion, booking with a Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card is a no-brainer. Canadian cardholders earn 5x points on Marriott stays, while US-issued cards earn 6x.
When combined with the 2x base earn (total 10x), elite bonuses, and the welcome gift, a single booking can easily generate tens of thousands of Bonvoy points.
As per usual, you’ll still earn base points on your stay, as well as elite qualifying nights and bonus points as a Marriott Bonvoy elite member.
If you pay for the transaction with a Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card, you’ll also earn points for your Homes & Villas booking.
Marriott Bonvoy Co-Branded Credit Cards in Canada
For example, if you book at a Marriott Homes & Villas property, for every US dollar spent, you can earn:
- 5 base points as a Marriott Bonvoy member
- Bonus points for having Marriott Bonvoy Elite status:
- 10% bonus with Silver status
- 25% bonus with Gold status, which comes as a perk on the Canadian-issued American Express Platinum Card and the Business Platinum Card from American Express
- 50% bonus with Platinum status, which comes as a perk on the US-issued Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card
- 75% bonus with Titanium & Ambassador status
- Points earned for using a Marriott Bonvoy credit card:
- 5 points for using a Canadian-issued Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card or Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card
- 6 points for using most US-issued Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit cards from American Express and Chase
For a stay of exactly $1,000 (USD) as a Titanium Elite member, you could earn up to 19.75 points per dollar spent, or a total of 20,750 Marriott Bonvoy points: 5 base points, 5 bonus points from the promotion, 3.75 elite bonus points, and 6 points by paying with an eligible US-issued co-branded credit card.
When combined with the 1,000-point welcome gift for Titanium Elite members, you’d be looking at up to 20,750 points for a $1,000 (USD) stay.
Of course, this number would vary if the total cost of your stay is greater than $1,000 (USD). However, it goes to show the amount of value you can extract from this promotion when combined with elevated earning rates through status and credit cards.
Again, while it’s not worthwhile to pursue this promotion solely for the bonus points, if you were going to otherwise make a booking for a home rental, at least you’d end up with a tidy sum of points for your efforts.
Also, keep an eye on Aeroplan eStore, AAdvantage eShopping, or British Airways Avios eStore. Homes & Villas by Marriott frequently shows up on these portals, letting you earn extra airline miles on top of your Bonvoy haul.
And for those with US credit cards, Amex and Chase Offers occasionally dish out sizable rebates on Homes & Villas bookings—just make sure you check your dashboards before you book.
Conclusion
Marriott’s latest Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy promotion offers double base points on paid stays of two nights or more, booked between July 14 and July 20, 2025, for travel through September 7, 2025.
It’s one of the platform’s recurring seasonal promos—and while not as eye-catching as a fixed bonus, it’s easy to access and valuable for anyone planning a summer vacation rental.
If you’ve got a stay coming up, this is an excellent time to lock it in and earn a healthy stash of Bonvoy points along the way.
