15K Marriott Bonvoy points w/ 2-night Homes & Villas stay in April (min spend of $1200)

Marriott Bonvoy is once again offering a bonus for bookings of Marriott Homes & Villas stays in April 2025. This time, the requirements are to book by April 20, 2025, stay a minimum of 2 nights, spend at least $1200 on the stay, and check out by April 30, 2025. That’s hardly mattress run-worthy, but if you need a vacation rental this month, you should take this rebate into account when shopping around.

The Deal

• Marriott Homes & Villas is offering 15,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when you sign in and book a stay of 2 or more nights by April 20, 2025 and the stay occurs between April 1-30, 2025, with a minimum spend of $1,200 for the stay.

Quick Thoughts

The landing page claims that this offer has been “extended”, though it’s worth noting that the details say that this deal runs from March 22nd to April 20th and the deal that expired on March 21st (which was also for April 2025 stays) required three nights and a minimum spend of $1500, whereas this new version of the offer only requires two nights and $1200 spend (which is less spend overall but more spend per night). Note also that this offer will not stack with the offer for double points as that offer is open for registration right now, but is valid for stays starting on May 1st, which will be after this 15K promotion ends.

And that paragraph illustrates my core complaint with Marriott Homes & Villas. They keep running incessant promotions where a “stay” has a different definition every time in terms of the minimum number of nights or amount of spend and registration overlaps but promotional periods do not, etc. That makes it very confusing to follow promotions and frankly turns me off. I’d much rather have a set minimum number of nights and amount of spend for a stay to earn Marriott points and then every stay that earns Marriott points should qualify for promotions. That would make it far easier to stay engaged with these promos. I suppose it makes sense that they may want to incentivize different minimum numbers of nights, but then set a standard minimum amount per night to qualify for promotions!

At any rate, if you have a need for a vacation rental, this could be a decent if not compelling rebate. Our Reasonable Redemption Value for Marriott points is 0.76c per point, which means that the points here are worth around $114. That’s an OK rebate on $1200 in spend, but it certainly isn’t enough to encourage a spontaneous booking.

If you do consider booking a Marriott Homes & Villas property, keep in mind that Capital One Shopping sometimes has great targeted offers (I’ve been targeted for 25% back up to $250 back recently) and the Capital One credit card login has Marriott Homes & Villas as a shopping portal option as well (though usually with a significantly lower rate).
