HDFC Bank partners with the ‘Marriott Bonvoy’ to launch India’s first co-branded hotel credit card, “Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card”. The network partner for the card will be Diners Club, which is part of the Discover Global Network.
The Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank credit card combines the capabilities of both brands, providing customers with an exceptional choice of travel advantages. Silver Elite Status with Marriott Bonvoy provides benefits such as priority late checkout, exclusive member prices, Marriott Bonvoy bonus points, and more.
The co-branded card comes with a slew of perks, including a free night award of up to 15,000 points, redeemable at selected Marriott Bonvoy hotels for a year, globally. In addition, the card confers Silver Elite Status, which entitles you to 10 elite night credits each year. Cardholders can earn up to three more free nights at the hotels by achieving certain spending limits.
Discussing the potential, Parag Rao, Country Head of Payment Business, Consumer Finance, Technology and Digital Banking at HDFC Bank said, “Post the convergence, we have in excess of 100 million customers across India. We have 17-18 million credit cards and therefore see a massive opportunity to grow. The Marriott Bonvoy will be one of our several offerings to our premium customers, catering to those who are discerning and focused on travel.”
For monthly spending of up to Rs 10 lakh, cardholders would be able to earn eight Marriott Bonvoy points for every Rs 150 spent on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels (excluding Homes and Villas). Furthermore, they can earn four Marriott Bonvoy points for every Rs 150 spent on eligible travel, dining, and entertainment transactions, up to a monthly limit of Rs 5 lakh.
