Annual Fee:
- Provides 1 free night certificate every year on account anniversary (up to a category 4 hotel)
- If you spend $15,000 per year on the card you will earn an additional free night certificate
- Receive World of Hyatt Discoverist status for as long as your account is open
- Receive 5 qualifying night credits towards your next tier status every year
- Earn 2 additional qualifying night credits every time you spend $5,000 on your card
This is a big spend required to get the full offer on this. After that you’d actually earn an additional Free Night Certificate (total of 6) because spending $15,000 in a year on the card always gets you another Free Night Certificate.
Overall, a good offer IF you have a plan to use the certificates and IF you can meet that spend requirement. Even getting just the first tier of the offer is better than the normal offer if you have a specific plan to use the certificates at a Category 4 hotel.
Just keep in mind you can’t use the free night certificates and any other club access or suite upgrade or guest of honor on the same reservation.
We consider this card a long term keeper but the welcome offer is never that exciting. But we keep it because you’ll get a Free Night Award every year on your account anniversary (for a Category 1-4 hotel) and instant Discoverist status (which is helpful for guaranteeing breakfast at Hyatt Places not that it’s not a guarantee).For anyone trying to earn Globalist or trying to earn 20 Elite Night credits to get Club Lounge Access, this card is a also must! You’ll get 5 elite night credits added to your tracker just for holding the card.
The standard sign up offer is 30k bonus points. In January 2025, we saw a small jump up to 35k and then it decreased in July 2025, down to 25k.
