HDFC Bank Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card Launched

[snjn]

Do hotels provide free breakfast on marriot gold on points or award night?

Most of the time if you ask for complimentary breakfast during check in they would include it. Tested at Westin Mumbai 🤗

I am new to using Mariott Bonvoy points and membership offers.
Based on the members experience is it worth it to have this card? I have AMEX platinum travel card and I am collecting MR points to be used on Mariot Bonvoy.

Thanks

Amex plat travel + HDFC Bonvoy card is a good combination if you’d like to use for MB points and that’s what I’m doing too.

I don’t know if hdfc has referral program. But if it’s your first hdfc card you can apply directly and get an amazon voucher upon approval. I believe it’s 1000-1500

I applied this MB card on 4th may.. Got mail saying application successful with a reference number.
Now when I'm tracking the status it's showing no records found.
Is this a regular affair.?

Usually happens with HDFC tracker. Try 3-4 times you’ll be able to see.

Okay so finally I got the bonvoy card today but there is no bonvoy membership number printed on same.

PS: I'm new to this hotel redemptions. Have earlier seen membership number printed on cards like jet privilege, vistara etc.

So if anyone can guide do I need to create a bonvoy account, as I don't have any.. Or how to go about it.. As not sure where will be the points earned on this card will be transferred..
Thanks.

I noticed something surprising today. I’ve not activated my bonvoy card yet but my status has been changed to silver elite. And looks like they did not create a separate account which I would have merged after 30 days. Waiting for nights to credit though and the award stay.

Is your bonvoy membership number printed on the card.?

I got my card today but no bonvoy membership number on that.. Also didn't had any bonvoy account earlier.


Don't hdfc just create a new account with the card if there is none with the email /mobile number.?

Read past posts of this thread. The process to know your membership number and other info are shared already.

No membership number printed on mine as well. I already had an account though. They did attach the benefits to my existing membership account but did not print the ID on card.

YES!

I was talking about this only. Very happy to know that you did got all those extra points.

Few hotels in India, the staff don't even bother telling you and not even try to help and tell you whats best offer for you.

Have a neighbor, did both son's and daughter's wedding at marriott courtyard, for 5days+, many rooms, few halls, food etc. They didnt even bother telling my neighbor about the points, was around 200K points each time.

I went with him, talk with manager, sure you will get it. So I register my neighbor with membership, and get got those points after a month. But daughter's wedding was done few years back, so no points for that. He got angry with the manager, told them we will do complaint, but he let it go. He said, its his son's wedding, cannot be bother with all this. Then I told him how much he is missing, after which he listened to me.

Both his wedding went smoothly, but many complaint about bad food. Which cannot be helped, and people forgot about it after few days anyways.

This is informative. Usually people who get their marriages or events done at these 5 star locations are not aware that they can use those spends to get points. I tried to get it done for my friend who got married at Taj. The manager clearly declined saying that these spends cannot be counted and no points will be credited. He had spent around 30-40 Lakhs on the property alone.

Omg jeez..

So many points wasted.

Btw, as for marriott, they clearly say - you get 10 points per 1 usd, if the amount is billed by marriott.

Some properties like shops and restaurants inside a marriott hotel, is not owned by marriott (maybe rented). In that case, if you shop or eat at those restaurants etc, you will not get the marriott bill, so no points for those money spend.

You should email marriott with the bill and ask for points. And do mention that the manager clearly denied you. See what they reply.

Sure thanks a lot.

One query,
Using this card, if someone dines at Marriott restaurant and pays bill via zomato or eazydiner through some deals, then also are we entitled to those points? I am fine with them crediting it later also if not instantly.

Second query -
Can we our MB membership to book rooms for friends and family under their name? Do we still get points for that or only the MB account owner can stay the the room booked and then only points will be credited. Any such nonsense exists? I am not talking about FNA voucher. For that I know only the cardholder can avail that..
