HDFC Bank Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card Launched

[Thomas244]

I’ve NOT received the card.

Only the status says delivered.

But I received an email saying they CANT issue the card to me.

So my question is, do I still stand a chance of getting this card given the status and email contradiction?

Like I said, I’m after the RM to get the team to make an exception and get it approved for me.

In my situation my spouse got the card fortunately in hand then they sent email cant issue and will put on hold. So i went to my cards activated it fast set limits changed pin. Then emailed them to release card which they finally did. As quickly as i cud did a transaction also.
They have messed up the bonvoy part. Finally after one month they sent the new bonvoy number. I called bonvoy they added email and phone. Activated account online.now will merge with old account

I also got the same message.

I’ve managed to initiate a floater card application via RM.

Hoping he’ll see it through.
He assured me he would.

PS: Please look out if your office and billing addresses are in different cities.
It was a stumbling block in my case.

Thanks - I have initiated an offline floater application through RM. The offline application had no provision to mention the existing MB membership number. RM made a note of it and also asked to email the screenshot of membership card to him with a copy to his manager. Hopefully the application goes through and the card is linked to the existing MB membership.

this seems a good bet now due to high domestic and international lounge limits. Also for 3500 rs in 15k points you can get 1 day rooms even in international countries. So good add on

I have received the card today with my existing MB membership number embossed on the card. Any idea how long does it take to credit the 10 elite nights?

My card didn't come with the membership number embossed even though I entered it while applying. Now will my existing membership gets linked or a new one would be created?

The welcome email you receive from HDFC mentions the MB membership number. If your have two membership numbers, you will need to merge your accounts. You may like to check the welcome email and the membership number mentioned in that email.

So I activated my card in September, hoping to get 10 ENC credited this year to reach the next Elite level, sadly it won't happen by EOY.

Received my second statement today. Joining fee still not charged.
Also they have categorized my txn at Marriott as travel and posted only 4points/150 instead of 8. So please check your statements.

Yeah received the same response and ENC credits would take upto another 60 days after that. Wish this was clear before applying.

Someone who was silver on these marriott hdfc threads with 15 nights got upgraded to gold. Can we confirm this

My case is even worse. They didn't link my existing membership number even though I mentioned it in the form. Now they are not even telling which membership number is linked to the card.
