If you’re staying at a Hyatt hotel soon, World of Hyatt personal and corporate cards can help you save a lot of money on your trip and beyond.
And now might be a good time to put a card in your wallet, because the business version of this card has a limited-time welcome offer. Note that both cards offer tiered bonuses, and the spending requirement for the second tier is higher on each.
Let’s take a look at what both cards offer to help you decide if 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 of account opening, plus 15,000 points after spending $12,000 within the first six months of account opening. This offer ends September 26.
Based on TPG’s August 2024 reviews, this bonus is worth up to $1,275 and is the best deal we’ve ever seen for this card.
Annual fee: 199 US dollars.
Earnings 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 health club and gym memberships. Cardmembers also earn 2 points per dollar each quarter in your top three spending categories with no spending cap. These categories include:
- Eat
- Flight tickets purchased directly from an airline
- Car rentals
- Local transport and commuting
- Petrol stations
- Internet, cable and telephone services
- Social media and search engine advertising

Points earning rates are automatically adjusted based on the categories you spend the most in each quarter, so you don’t have to choose your preferred categories. Outside of your bonus categories, you’ll earn 1 point per dollar spent on all purchases.

Why should you get a Hyatt card?
Both the World of Hyatt personal and business cards offer numerous benefits to Hyatt loyal customers. In fact, the Hyatt personal card is a TPG employee favorite.
With either card, you’ll automatically earn Discoverist status, which includes benefits like late checkout, preferred rooms, and a 10% points bonus on eligible purchases. You can also earn additional elite nights with spending on either card.
You also benefit from numerous travel insurance options, such as baggage delay insurance, compensation for lost baggage, and trip cancellation and cancellation insurance.
In addition, the personal card comes with a voucher for a free night each year (valid in hotels in categories 1 to 4), which is extremely valuable for every Hyatt fan.
