Legacy Hyatt Card Auto-converting to WOH card
On January 11th all legacy cardholders will automatically be updated to the newer card. If your annual fee is before August, you'll still only pay $75, thereafter all annual fees will be $95. Some of our writers are electing to cancel theirs prior and then apply for the new one to receive a new bonus, which based on the age of the card would be beyond 24 month bonus rule.

Bottom Line
This card is a blue chip option for folks who love the Hyatt brand -- and who want their points to stretch far. The Hyatt card will count toward Chase's 5/24 rule, so if you're maxed out there, don't apply. But if you qualify for another Chase card -- and you love Hyatt -- this is a super valuable card. The sign-up bonus and the perks far outweigh the annual $95 fee. And the Discoverist status remains yours as long as you have the card.

About World of Hyatt
Hyatt points are the most valuable hotel points available. Not only are the actual points worth more, but Hyatt is the best hotel transfer partner for Chase Ultimate Rewards. The other great thing about Hyatt points is that they can be used for all-inclusive resorts. We also love Hyatt Hotels in general. They're more universally clean with quality service, whereas many other chains are hit and miss. The drawback to Hyatt is that they don’t have hotels in many smaller cities or more exotic locations.
Hyatt cards are relatively strict on getting second cards, so make good use of your points. We would equate Hyatt Points to dollar bills, Bonvoy to fifty cent pieces, Hilton to quarters and the rest to dimes and nickels.
