How to Transfer Your HDFC Credit Card Points to Marriott Bonvoy (And Why You Should)

If you hold an HDFC credit card and are a Marriott Bonvoy member (or planning to be one), the recent update is great news: you can now transfer your HDFC card reward points into Marriott Bonvoy points. This offers a fresh route to turn everyday spending into hotel stays across Marriott’s vast global portfolio. 🔎 What This Change Means More Redemption Options: Rather than limiting your rewards to shopping or airline miles, you now have the option to convert points for hotel stays. Better Value for Travelers: For frequent travelers who stay in Marriott properties, this can be a valuable way to leverage your card spend. Selective Eligibility: Not all HDFC cards may support this transfer. Usually, premium or reward-oriented cards are eligible. 🔁 How It Typically Works Check if your card supports the transfer — Often, only certain HDFC credit cards are eligible for hotel transfer partners. Login to rewards portal — Access the HDFC credit card rewards interface. Navigate to “Points Transfer” or “Redemption” — Choose Marriott Bonvoy among the listed partners. Enter your Marriott Bonvoy membership number — Ensure your Bonvoy account is active and correct. Complete the transfer — Your HDFC points will be deducted and Bonvoy points credited, usually within a few hours or days (depending on bank policy). 💡 Tips to Maximize Value Watch the conversion ratio — The points transfer rate may not always be 1:1; check if there’s a premium or bonus transfer offer. Transfer in batches — Instead of small frequent transfers, doing a larger transfer may give better value (if there are lower per-transaction losses). Plan your redemptions — Use transferred Bonvoy points for high-category hotels where you’d get good per-point value. Keep an eye on special transfer bonuses — HDFC or Marriott might run limited-time offers with better conversion rates or extra bonus points.
