The recent increased welcome bonus on the business Hyatt credit card has ended and both the business and personal cards are now back to their regular offers.
Here are the best new cardmember welcome bonuses available on the Hyatt credit cards.
World of Hyatt Credit Card welcome offer
Welcome offer: Earn up to 60,000 Bonus Points: 30,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months of account opening and up to 30,000 more Bonus Points by earning 2 Bonus Points total per $1 spent in the first 6 months from account opening on purchases that normally earn 1 Bonus Point, on up to $15,000 spent.
Hyatt card offers offer either World of Hyatt Bonus Points or category 1-4 free night certificates.
Unlike most other cards, which award the advertised bonus in addition to what you’d normally earn, the World of Hyatt Credit Card welcome offer’s $15,000 spending tier includes the points you would normally earn. Keep this in mind when evaluating the value of this welcome offer.
Annual fee: $95
World of Hyatt Business Credit Card
Offer: Earn 60,000 Bonus Points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.
This bonus is awarded as World of Hyatt Bonus Points.
Annual fee: $199
My take: The business bonus is better, but the personal is the keeper card for most.
I appreciate that Chase’s marketing of its welcome bonus offers is usually straightforward…except when it comes to the Hyatt cards.
I don’t like the headline of “60,000 points” on the personal card that is doled out as a bonus, plus an additional point on the first $15k you spend on the card. That makes the bonus look much better than it is.
Okay. Now that that rant is over…
I personally like the business card’s current offer better than the personal card, but the personal Hyatt card is the better card for most… you’d have to be spending your way most of the way to Hyatt Globalist to tip the balance in favor of the business card.
Are you eligible to earn a Hyatt credit card bonus?
With the Hyatt credit cards, generally you’re able to earn a welcome bonus if you don’t currently have the same card and you haven’t received a bonus within the previous 24 months.
Keep in mind that the personal and business cards are seperate products for the purposes of welcome bonus qualification and that the 24-month eligibility clock starts from when you received the bonus. Not when you opened the card, not when you earned the bonus.
Here are the exact terms from the last time we reviewed them on the personal card:
The credit card is not available to either (i) current Cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous Cardmembers of this credit card who received a new Cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.
