If you have always wanted to spend a week in the Caribbean or go on a trip to Latin America now is the time to do it. Homes & Villas by Marriott is giving you a reason to book your trip. They are offering 3X Marriott Bonvoy points when you stay at properties in the Caribbean or Latin America for five nights or more. This is a time to book because summer is here and a lot of people are planning their trips.

Here's what you need to know before you book.

What the promotion is about

The deal is simple. If you book a stay of five or more nights at a Homes & Villas by Marriott property in the Caribbean or Latin America you will get triple the points for every dollar you spend. You do not have to spend a lot of money to get this deal. You just have to stay for a time.

You have to book your stay between May 15 and June 26 2026. You have to complete your stay between June 1 and December 31 2026. You do not have to sign up for anything before you book. You just have to make sure you are logged into your Marriott Bonvoy account when you make your reservation. If you are not logged in you will not get your points.

There are some things that will not get you the points. If you use points to pay for your stay you will not get the deal. If you stay for, than five nights you will not get the deal either.

Where You Can Use It

The places you can go are really spread out. There are a lot of countries in the Caribbean and Latin America where you can use this. You can go to beach places or try some other spots that are not as well known.

Qualifying countries include:

• Caribbean islands: Antigua & Barbuda Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Turks & Caicos and the U.S. Virgin Islands
• American countries: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay and Peru

Mexico has a lot of different places to stay from Cabo to the Riviera Maya to smaller coastal towns. Costa Rica and Colombia are really popular with travelers now and this is a good reason to finally take a trip to one of those places.

Why the Five-Night Minimum Is Actually Fine

At first it seems like you have to stay for five nights, which's a lot. If you think about it. If you are going to the beach or taking a long trip five nights is not that long. Most people who rent a villa in the Caribbean or a home in Mexico are not just going for two nights.

The reason you have to stay for five nights is so you can get the 3X rate. Homes & Villas by Marriott is different, from a hotel. These are full homes and private villas that are meant for longer stays. This promotion is meant for how people use the website.

Stacking This With Offers

Here's where it gets interesting for people who love earning points: this deal doesn't have to stand alone. There are ways to get more value out of the 3X earning rate.

If you have an American Express offer for Homes & Villas by Marriott. The current one gives $250 back on $1,000 spent. It works directly with this promotion. That's a boost in return on what might already be a large booking.

You should also check shopping portals before you finalize anything. Cashback rates on Homes & Villas can change. Comparing across portals before booking takes less than five minutes and can add another percentage point or two back in your pocket.

One thing that not many people know: look at the Homes & Villas site with the Capital One Shopping browser extension on. Some users have reported getting follow-up emails with cashback rates like 15%. Which is way more than what standard portals usually offer. It might not work. It doesn't cost anything to try.

Making the Most of Marriott Bonvoy Points

Getting three times the points on a stay can add up fast especially if you're booking a big property for a family trip or group vacation. Marriott Bonvoy points can be used for nights at hotels in Marriotts global portfolio swapped for airline miles or used for future Homes & Villas bookings.

For example Marriott Bonvoy points are usually worth between 0.7 and 0.9 cents each. Earning 3X on a $3,000 villa stay could get you between 9,000 and more points when you use credit card multipliers. That could mean a night or a lot of credit toward a future stay.

The promotion isn't super exciting, on its own. With a shopping portal a stacked American Express offer and the right Marriott Bonvoy credit card it becomes part of a smart strategy that serious points enthusiasts will know right away.

The Bottom Line

Homes & Villas by Marriott often has promotions. The offer of 3X points on stays, in the Caribbean and Latin America really catches the eye. It covers a lot of places you do not need to sign up there is no amount to spend and it works well with other deals. The only downside is you need to stay for least five nights, which is a problem if you just want a quick trip.

If you are already planning a proper holiday in the area this is not a problem. Bookings end on June 26 2026. You must stay by December 31. If you are thinking of a getaway now is a good time to book it.
