There has been speculation about the possibility of American Express launching a Marriott Bonvoy credit card in India. While nothing has been confirmed at this point, there are reasons to believe that this launch may happen sooner rather than later.

The recently launched HDFC Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card is an entry-level card. While it does offer some benefits such as 10 elite night credits and a free night certificate at a low annual fee, it is not considered a premium card.

What to expect from the official Amex Marriott credit card in India?

The anticipated American Express Marriott card is expected to be a premium offering. Drawing from Marriott’s credit cards in other countries, it is likely to include perks such as 15 elite night credits, Gold elite status, and a free night certificate redeemable at properties available for 35,000 reward points. Additionally, users can expect a sign-up bonus ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points.

Bottom-line

There are rumors of American Express launching a Marriott Bonvoy credit card in India soon.

Marriott has already clarified that the partnership with HDFC Bank is not an exclusive agreement.

Meanwhile, American Express has ceased offering Membership Rewards points as a sign-up bonus for their Amex Platinum Charge Card in India. Many users previously transferred these points directly to their Marriott account.

We hope these rumors prove to be true and that we will soon see the introduction of a premium Marriott credit card in India.
