HDFC Bank Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card Launched

Just sharing info with avid readers and participants.
On card renewal, MB posts 1 free night award to account within 7 days of paying renewal fee, i.e. INR 3,540. Also credits 10 Nights to your Bonvoy account. Pretty nifty.
Best is 3 seperate bookings which i usually do. Bcos price is dynamic and u can rebook at lower price for that night if it drops for a particular night. Instead of altering other nights. Only if u booking 5 nights in a row book together
IMO you should be able to do it in a single booking.

Wtf man
 
You are probably the first one in the world to request this.... 🤣

So the bank got confused ..... they may say that their systems are not designed to accommodate once in a year event
Bro I didn't knew that first night wouldn't be applicable on LTF at that time
 
3 nights only . if we make seperate booking at same hotel, do we have to do anything daily to checkin, or it works same as combined booking once you reached hotel?
If you have any spends billed to room on any individual booking, then you may need to settle that before they check you in afresh/give you a fresh key card.

If they’ve taken a pre-auth, then the above may not be applicable.

Good advise by @Thomas244 about separate bookings, especially if you don’t mind the hassle of constantly tracking change in award night requirements, each day of the booking !
 
Have you tried it? I have a big confusion over it as it says redemption only for primary cardholder.
Primary cardholder needs to be there. You can book a room for 2. I stayed at JW Pune and asked for complimentary breakfast they were kind enough to accept my request.
 
We got the card for the free night, spent 150 on it, to make sure it's activated, once they charges the annual fees and we got the free night, we read the TnC and closed the card. 3500 for a Free night credit and status with Marriott is not a bad deal, the reward is pretty abysmal. It has a long way to go.

Wouldn't asking to convert it to LTF at year end make more sense than cancelling right away after paying the fees ?
 
Hi all,

I got the card 2 weeks back. Made 2 transactions after activation. 1st Statement already generated. Payment is due 1st week of next month. Any idea when the free night voucher and elite nights would be credited?

I already have a MB account (points transferred from Amex Pt Travel). However, I didn't submit my MB ID during the application (saved my application in between and could not find the page later). I have the same email for my CC and MB account. Will my existing account get updated or will MB create a separate account?

Thanks

You will get a new MB account, email will be sent by marriott. After 30 days, you can request to merge them.
I provided bonvoy id during application, still I got new ID by marriott.
