Marriott Bonvoy is one of the most popular and sought-after hotel loyalty programs in India, especially among American Express Credit Card holders. While the program is well-known in credit card circles, the general population in India has largely remained outside its reach. With its latest partnership with Flipkart, Marriott Bonvoy now aims to connect with a wider audience through one of the country’s largest e-commerce platforms.
Under this tie-up, Flipkart shoppers will be able to earn Marriott Bonvoy points on their spends. The move comes shortly after similar partnerships by IndiGo with Swiggy, EazyDiner, and Postcard Hotels.
For regular Flipkart users, this adds extra value to their shopping, while also increasing awareness and visibility of the Marriott Bonvoy program in India. All those who have linked their Flipkart and Marriott Bonvoy accounts and make spends of ₹1,000 or more at the platform shall be eligible to earn bonus Marriott Bonvoy Points.
Although this partnership seems great from afar and offers a good use of the otherwise dormant SuperCoins, it’s best to know that there are several minute terms attached to this points transfer program.
Earn Bonvoy Points and Even Transfer SuperCoins
To earn Marriott Bonvoy Points, customers must make a minimum purchase of ₹1,000 or more through Flipkart. It is essential to link your accounts to be eligible for this earning. A maximum of 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points can be earned each year.
For every eligible ₹1,000 spent on Flipkart, users shall earn 100 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Example of point earning.
| Order Value Range (INR) | Marriott Bonvoy Points | |
| VIP Customers | Non – VIP Customers | |
| 0 – 999 | 0 | 0 |
| 1,000 – 1,999 | 100 | 100 |
| 2,000 – 2,999 | 200 | 200 |
| 3,000 – 3,999 | 300 | 300 |
| 4,000 – 4,999 | 400 | 400 |
| 5,000 – 5,999 | 500 | 500 |
| 6,000 – 6,999 | 600 | 500 |
| 7,000 – 7,999 | 700 | 500 |
| 8,000 – 8,999 | 800 | 500 |
| 9,000 – 9,999 | 900 | 500 |
| 10,000+ | 1,000 | 500 |
There will be updates and changes to these details, as Flipkart VIP is now known as Flipkart Black.
One can not only earn points but also transfer their existing Flipkart SuperCoins to the Bonvoy program. By converting 2,000 Flipkart SuperCoins, users shall receive 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Alternatively, users can also convert 2,000 Marriott Bonvoy points into 1,000 Flipkart SuperCoins, allowing them to shop for over 70,000 products on Flipkart. These SuperCoins can also be used for travel bookings via Cleartrip.
Keep in mind that certain types of spending through Flipkart will not qualify for Bonvoy Points.
- Flipkart Gift Cards

Bottom Line
From JW Marriott to Four Points, there are several popular hotel brands under Marriott Bonvoy. Accumulating these points can be quite handy when booking stays for vacations or work. Veterans of the credit card game know that the points game is a long one, but it is also one of the most rewarding.
Now you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points with your Flipkart purchases, just like many are already earning IndiGo BluChips for Swiggy orders and spending through EazyDiner. This initiative by Marriott will significantly enhance the brand’s visibility in the country.
One of the best aspects of this partnership is not just the ability to earn points, but the option to transfer SuperCoins from Flipkart to Marriott Bonvoy. For those who can’t find an optimal use for their Flipkart SuperCoins, this offers a convenient way to transfer them for future use with Marriott Bonvoy.
This latest partnership has integrated several Marriott Bonvoy features directly into the Flipkart platform, increasing its visibility due to the platform’s popularity. Now, users can book hotels at member rates through Flipkart, which is a significant move for the Marriott Bonvoy program in the country. It is expected that more partners will be added to the hotel loyalty program in the near future.
