HDFC Bank and Marriott Bonvoy have unveiled their newest collaboration: the ‘Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card’. Positioned to be India’s inaugural co-branded hotel credit card, this exclusive offering runs on the esteemed Diners Club®, a segment of the Discover Global Network.
Ms. Ranju Alex, Area Vice-President for South Asia at Marriott International, expressed her enthusiasm about the card’s launch in India, post its successful introductions in Japan and South Korea. “This card marks a significant milestone in our journey to redefine travel for Indian explorers,” she noted. “The dual benefits from both brands resonate with our aim to reward our members, taking our hospitality ethos a step further.”
Mr. Parag Rao of HDFC Bank mirrored this excitement. He sees the card as a testament to HDFC’s relentless pursuit of crafting financial solutions tailored for the modern Indian consumer. “This is more than just a credit card. It’s a gateway to unparalleled travel experiences. Our aim is to reshape how our clientele perceives hospitality, making their travels richer and memories more profound,” Rao added.
Chris Winter, VP of International Markets at Diners Club International, acknowledged the card’s potential to appeal to those who prioritize travel rewards. “Our international reach ensures that cardholders will reap benefits locally and abroad, whether they travel for business, leisure or both,” he stated.
The new ‘Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card’ is crafted keeping in mind the modern traveler. Cardholders stand to gain Marriott Bonvoy points on qualifying expenditures, which can be redeemed for a host of enticing rewards – from lavish stays and upgrades across Marriott’s expansive brand collection, to curated experiences and branded products exclusive to Marriott Bonvoy. Moreover, an added perk is the ability to transfer these points to a plethora of airlines worldwide.
