Elevate Your Travel: Exploring the Chase Hyatt Card
I often get asked what the best hotel credit card is to add to someone’s wallet. This is different for everyone, but I can tell you that my favorite is the Chase Hyatt Card. I love the Hyatt Point System. You can get a lot of bang for your points with Hyatt.
How to get more Hyatt Points
I get most of the points I use for Hyatt from my Chase Sapphire card. They are a transfer partner. You do not have to have a Chase Hyatt Card to transfer points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt. You need to have a Hyatt Membership account. You can set this up on their website. All you have to do is select Join World of Hyatt.
Why Hyatt Points are my favorite
I love Hyatt and Hyatt's points when it comes to traveling. Their points system is the best. We booked our upcoming trip to Prague on Hyatt Points. You can read more about that here. We stay at a lot of Hyatts. I am currently writing this from a Hyatt Place in Keystone, Colorado. By using my Hyatt card, I earn points for staying at Hyatt through their reward program. I then get an extra 5 more points per dollar when I put my hotel bill on my Hyatt credit card. This adds up fast!
Benefits I love about Hyatt
I also love that having the Chase Hyatt Card automatically makes me a Discoverist. That is the lowest tier of their generous reward program. This benefited me last month and on the trip, and I am currently on. Since I am a Discoverist, I can request a late checkout of 2 pm. Last month we had a later in the day flight out of Miami. We were staying at the Hyatt Centric Miami South Beach. We were able to spend the morning exploring Miami, head back to the hotel, grab our belongings, and then head to the airport. We saw lots of people walking around with luggage, and we didn’t have to do that.
On this trip, we are skiing in Colorado and staying at the Hyatt Place Keystone. We have an early flight back out of Denver, so after skiing our last day, we will need to head back to Denver and stay the night. Check out is 11, and we won’t be done skiing yet. We were already approved for our late check-out, so we can ski until 1. Come back, gather our belongings, change, and head back to Denver. It will make for a way less stressful day.
Chase Hyatt Card Annual Fee
The Chase Hyatt card has a $95 annual fee. With the $95, you will get an annual free night certificate for Category 1 -4 hotels. We have stayed at some amazing Cat 1-4 hotels over the years. Including our trip to New Mexico last July.
