This card is great for Hyatt lovers–or for anyone who wants to earn hotel points for free hotel stays around the world.
You’ll earn 9 points total per $1 spent at Hyatt – 4 Bonus Points per $1 when you use your card at Hyatt hotels & 5 Base Points per $1 you can earn as a World of Hyatt member. Plus you’ll have automatic World of Hyatt Elite status for as long as you’re a cardholder.
Every year on your card member anniversary, you’ll receive an award certificate for a free night at any category 1-4 Hyatt property worldwide! This benefit alone outweighs the annual fee for the card.
