Why You Might Want This Card

The Card For All Inclusive Resort Experience

It's no secret that Hyatt has some of the best all-inclusive resort options, making this card super popular with the sign-up bonus, not to mention you'll get 9x points on Hyatt purchases, plus 2x on dining and airfare. If you've never experienced an all-inclusive weekend away -- that didn't actually cost you anything -- you're in for a treat. You almost feel like you're stealing. Ahhh, the joys of points and miles.

This card also puts you on the Hyatt status map level immediately (as a Discoverist). That means early check in, late check out, free room upgrades, complimentary breakfast and waived resort fees, to name a few. An added bonus? This card gets you a free annual night. The $3,000 spend to get 36,000 sign-up points doesn't look great at first glance -- but consider that you can get a room for as low as 5,000 points per night.

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.

Application Rules

You'll be declined if you are a current cardholder, or if you've received a card signup BONUS in last 24 months

Your application will be declined if 5 new cards are reported on your personal credit report in the past 24 months

You'll be declined if you apply for a third Chase card of any kind within 30 days

Chase will decline your application you apply for a 5th Chase card (personal or BUSINESS) in 6 months
