The HDFC Bank Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card shines for frequent Marriott travelers seeking rewards and benefits within the Marriott Bonvoy program. The welcome bonus, free night stay, and potential for elite status can be valuable for those who regularly stay at Marriott properties. However, for individuals who don't prioritize Marriott stays or seek broader travel flexibility, the high annual fee and limited benefits outside the Marriott Bonvoy program make this card less appealing.
