One year after launching the Marriott Co-Brand Credit Card in India with HDFC Bank, Marriott Bonvoy has finally started focussing on building the grounds to make this card more visible in the market.
Why have the Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card?
The Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card is the first co-branded credit card in the hospitality space in India. For those who still don’t know, Marriott is now the largest hospitality chain in India, with over 150 hotels of all shapes and sizes, covering the nation from north (Kashmir) to South (Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and from East (Meghalaya) to West (Rajasthan and Gujarat).
The card offers great initiation and annual benefits for a small annual fee of INR 3,000 ++.
- Every year you hold the card, you will earn 10 Elite Night Credits, which is excellent for everyone who wants to gain or retain status with Marriott Bonvoy. For instance, ten nights in my bed, but counting for Marriott Bonvoy Platinum or Titanium Status is an excellent flex for that small sum.
- Every year you hold the card, you also get a free night award added to your account, redeemable for hotel redemptions up to 15,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. But you can also club it with up to 15,000 points from your account and get a redemption for up to 30,000 Bonvoy Points. This covers a large swathe of hotels in India. A Marriott redemption for just INR 3,000++ is not a bad deal.
- Marriott’s first elite tier membership is the Silver Tier. Just holding the card in your portfolio automatically enrols you in this tier. This allows you to participate in many promotions that Marriott Bonvoy only runs for elite tier members (such as this)
The card is being issued to people with another HDFC Bank Credit Card as a floater credit card. Apply Online.

Yesterday I was at Coorg Marriot, where I saw on their tv screen 50% discount on buffet against HDFC Marriot Bonvoy card.
Is it applicable in all Marriot?
