For each night that is stayed with Homes & Villas by Marriott International, guests will earn 1 elite night toward their account based on the same criteria as Marriott’s long stay hotel brands.- Promotional nights count toward annual elite status
- Promotional nights do not count toward lifetime status
- Homes & Villas by Marriott International earned nights are posted as Bonus Nights/Promotional, on the Marriott Bonvoy account.
As per the above, I was looking into MHV and it seems you get one elite night credit for each night but that they don’t count towards lifetime nights, only annual elite qualification. This is something to consider.
Also, for the places I was looking at located in small UK towns, they have 3-month cancellation policies!
