HDFC Mariott Bonvoy LTF

[Hisoka]

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.

You need to do a transaction, If not done. I heard people are getting the benefit after transaction occuring.

Cool, I’ll add some balance to Amazon pay and let the statement be generated.

Do let us know if you get that benefit as well. Then if would become amazing LTF card, getting free night in Marriott every year super cool along with silver status.

Update. It’s officially LTF now

Thanks to RBI again, I submitted the proofs after fighting with HDFC bank for a week. Received the response from bank after another 10 days.

You can go to this link. After that it's pretty straight forward, just submit all the proofs and write a clear description

If you are new customer to them then this is normal to do a physical verification

Did you end up with a LTF offer?
I too applied for a marriot card and I am hoping they give a LTF offer if I don't activate it

 

[rojajimmy]

I waited for 30 days and didnt get the LTF offer. The card was not activated. A few days ago I got a call from the team asking me why I didnt activate it and I was to the point because of the fees.
I have 3 HDFC CCs. DCB, tata Neu Infinity RuPay and Rupay Virtual and all of them are LTF for me so I WILL NEVER get a HDFC card which is paid. Simple

Will there be renewal benefits as well ?

I hold 1 core and 3 co branded so I guess that one can have many co branded cards.
