1 month ago 10

If you have an upcoming stay at any Hyatt property, the World of Hyatt personal and business cards can help you save a ton of money on that trip and beyond.

And now could be a great time to add one to your wallet, as the business version of this card has a limited-time welcome offer. Note that both cards feature tiered bonuses, and the spending requirement for the second tier is higher on each one.

Let's take a look at the offers on both cards to help you decide whether now is the right time to apply.

World of Hyatt Business Credit Card

Welcome offer: Earn up to 75,000 World of Hyatt points: 60,000 points after spending $5,000 within the first three months from account opening, plus 15,000 points after spending $12,000 in the first six months from account opening. This offer ends Sept. 26.

Based on TPG's August 2024 valuations, this bonus is worth up to $1,275, matching the best offer we've ever seen on this card.

Annual fee: $199.

THE POINTS GUY

Earning rate: Nine points total for Hyatt stays — 4 points per dollar spent at Hyatt hotels and 5 points per dollar spent as a World of Hyatt member — plus a unique adaptive accelerator benefit that earns 2 points per dollar spent on fitness club and gym membership purchases. Cardholders also earn 2 points per dollar in your top three spending categories each quarter with no spending cap. These categories include:

  • Dining
  • Airline tickets purchased directly from an airline
  • Car rental agencies
  • Local transit and commuting
  • Gas stations
  • Internet, cable and phone services
  • Social media and search engine advertising
  • Shipping

The points-earning rates will be adjusted automatically on the categories where you spend the most each quarter, so there'll be no need to select your preferred categories. Beyond your bonus categories, you'll earn 1 point per dollar spent on all purchases.
