Why We Like This Card
This card is ideal for those who frequent Hyatts and provides valuable benefits that make it highly competitive in the hotel market. Cardholders earn 4x points spent at Hyatt hotels, 2x points on several categories (see above), and 1x on all other purchases. This diverse earning structure makes the card valuable for both travel-related and everyday expenses, especially considering how valuable Hyatt points are.
A key highlight of this card is the annual Free Night award (redeemable at any Category 1-4 Hyatt hotel) after each cardmember anniversary, with an additional free night possible after spending $15,000 during the anniversary year. The card also grants automatic Discoverist status, offering perks like late checkout and bonus points. Additionally, cardholders can accelerate their journey to higher status levels with extra qualifying night credits for every $5,000 spent.
The World of Hyatt Credit Card is a compelling choice for its rewards, status benefits, and travel conveniences, offering tremendous value for its annual fee. It’s a must have card for folks deeply involved in the WoH program.
