Even if the backend for this worked properly, I have noticed that many rentals on Homes & Villas are more expensive than they are on competing websites. Homes & Villas also has a minimum stay requirement while competitors do not.
So essentially, on cash bookings, you are paying extra for a less flexible home-booking that earns EQNs and points. It's even worse than booking SLH cash stays through Hyatt. Pass. No idea what the redemption values are like but I can't imagine they're terribly exciting.
