HDFC Marriott Bonvoy Card - Surprise Gift

[PrinceHeart]

Got a surprised gift from HDFC Bank today.





It's a tag8 device. Never heard of this before today. Its a QR based tracking system for your luggage.

Since im not at home, haven't tested it yet. Have anyone else here got this gift from HDFC ?

Its actually a nice surprise. Has been 4 months now that I have used the free night already. So this is a late surprise. Share your story.

(Excuse me for bad quality images, my neighbor accepted the courier and took quick pics to show whats inside the envelop).

For 3500 card + Diners Network Lounges (No spend based access), A very good card. + If we are continuously travelling to Marriott Properties offline swiping using this card at reception for F&B gives decent reward rate. Milestones are waste though.

I use this on marriott properties + lounges only. I have acceptance issues for diners. + the marriott perks is worth it.

For early applicants of this card, renewals will be coming up from Sep/Oct '24.

Has any one got sure confirmation that we get 1 award night on payment of renewal fee as well?

There are conflicting messages for this, some saying YES and others NO.

Only way I will be paying renewal fee is if that benefit is there.

Also any other renewal benefit if you may know of?

Don’t see an issue if it’s written on the official page itself at least for paid cards

I got my 'Tag8" last week. Received paid card in May'24 with silver elite, 10 nights and 1 free night to reedem (up10 15k points).

And to confirm, Silver Elite status is also renewed upon renewal with 10 free elite nights added (at least it seems so from T&C)?

How can I combine my own points with the Free Night award if its above 15000 points ?

I was trying to find that option so I tried in 3 different cities but I am unable to see that option... could you help how to go about it ?

 

[Thomas244]

Sure just do the search then options open up. After u click on redeem 15000 points will go remainder 3000 to be paid

I guess then I would need to buy some points first then I'll be able to book above for above 15000
