American Express has launched a new targeted offer for Marriott Homes & Villas stays. The offer covers payments made through 15 April 2024 and because the spending needed to trigger the rebate doesn’t have to be made in a single transaction, this rebate may be easier to earn than first looks suggest.
The headline details of the offer state that by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $1,000 USD in one or more purchases on property rate and charges incurred at the time of reservation at participating Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy properties from 1/5/2024 to 4/15/2024, you can get a one-time $250 statement credit. The offer is valid only on USD purchases.
There are a few key terms and conditions to note for this offer. First, you must add the offer to your Card and then use the same Card to redeem. Additionally, there is a limit of 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. The offer is 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, and this offer excludes all other Marriott brands. The offer is not valid on gift card purchases, online retail purchases, hotel amenities, or purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points. Cancellation fees may apply and vary by property. The offer is valid on property rate and charges incurred at the time of reservation. A 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. The offer is not valid for stays that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date, and it is valid only on purchases made in US dollars. There is a limit of 1 statement credit per Card Member, and the statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 4/15/2024, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase.
It is important to see your targeted offer for full terms and conditions.
One positive aspect of this offer is that the spending required to trigger the rebate doesn’t have to be done in a single transaction. This means that multiple cheap stays will trigger the credit in the same way that a single stay of $1,000 or more will trigger it.
However, not all Homes & Villas properties are covered by this offer as Amex is limiting it to bookings in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. While this is not as limiting as some other Amex offers, it does exclude European bookings.
Based on the cards that I hold, this offer appears to be widely targeted to Amex’s membership rewards cards (consumer and business cards) but isn’t being targeted to Amex’s Bonvoy co-branded cards.
If you are considering making the most of this targeted Amex offer, don’t forget to register for the latest Homes & Villas promotion, which is offering double Bonvoy points on select stays consumed by the end of the year. The registration ends on January 31, 2024, and you can earn 2X points on eligible stays when you book 2+ nights in a private home rental.
In conclusion, Amex has published a new offer for a $250 rebate on spending on Marriott Homes & Villas stays made by 15 April 2024. All Homes & Villas properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean qualify for this promotion, and with this targeted offer appearing on a wide variety of membership rewards cards, a lot of people should have access to the savings on offer.
