In this article
Marriott Homes and Villas – Earn 25X on Base Spend (5X Normal)
Marriott Bonvoy members who book a 5+ night stay in a private home rental between June 3-26, 2024, and stay between June 3,2024 – March 31, 2025, will earn 5X points per stay. Details can be found here.
I confirmed that with the usual offer being 5X points per dollar, that we are talking 25X and they did confirm that is the case, so if you were lining up a vacation rental, that’s a pretty nice incentive. Any elite member points bonuses are also earned on top.

Just the normal $5.60 in fees.
