HDFC Mariott Bonvoy LTF

Hey everyone. I read a thread few weeks back in which people were not activating their Swiggy card and in turn received call from bank retention team who made it LTF. It's been more than 30 days that I've activated my Mariott card and I received a call today. Upon asking the reason for not activating the card, I told them the fees is too high.

They immediately sent an SMS and told that If I activate my card it'll be LTF. Is this message genuine? I didn't know that HDFC can convert premium cards into LTF as well.

Edit: I initially wanted to pay fees for this card but after looking at all the property offerings from Mariott, I realised 15k points isn't worth paying fees for as most of the good properties charge way higher value in points than in Rupees. So I decided not to activate this card after it was received. But if it gets converted to LTF, it can be good card for domestic and international lounge access and Lounge network of Diners cards is better than Visa, plus no pain of carrying priority pass as well.

Hi guys, there were giving first hotel night free worth 15000 points to all marriot bonvoy cards. But they changed terms and conditions later that they give joining benifits only to paid cards. My card was received before terms and conditions changed and my first spends were also before terms changed. But not they are saying your card is ltf and cannot give you joining benifits

No use of getting Mrriott Bonvoy as LTF except for lounge benefits.

Better choosing paid option
 
I just received my card. Does the Silver Elite valid till Dec 2024 or Dec 2025?
The 10 nights elite nights will be valid till Dec 2024. But, you will be carrying the silver elite status for 2025.
To reach Gold status, you will need to stay 25 nights, the 10 days credited now shall not be counted for next year's gold status. If you have stayed for 15 days before card renewal, then it will be upgraded to gold after paying next year's renewal fees.
 
Hain!!!
I raised rbi omb" for not giving DCB LTF despite submitting all docs, do the guy call and offered mariot bonvoy without any docs and anything but paid. I just needed a core card at that time and asked for millennia LTF to leave. Now i guess he won the deal😅

DCB LTF offeris long gone, hdfc stopped it last year. How can you raise RBI complaint for this?
