Who should get it
The Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Bank Credit Card is a niche hotel card, not a general rewards workhorse. It makes sense when Marriott stays are already part of your travel pattern.
The card's value is concentrated in Free Night Awards, Silver Elite status, 10 elite night credits and lounge access. The everyday reward rate is average, but the hotel ecosystem benefits can justify the Rs 3,000 + GST annual fee for regular Marriott users.
Skip it if you want flexible cashback or airline miles. Pick it if you can use the welcome and renewal Free Night Awards, and if the milestone Free Night Awards at Rs 6L, Rs 9L and Rs 15L spends fit your annual spending pattern.
