After the 5K to get the 3 free nights, is 10K additional spend worth it for 3 more nights or is that spend better used elsewhere, i.e. new sub or other card with higher bonus categories?
That’s something that’ll be individual to each person based on how they value those three certificates, how they value the Hyatt points they’ll be earning on the spend, if they’re spending in any bonused categories, if they’ll get value for the four additional elite night credits from two sets of $5K spend, what other bonus categories are available to them, if they have a new welcome offer they’re working on the minimum spend for, etc.
Three free night certificates + at least 10K points isn’t a bad return for $10K of spend, but it would be possible to do better if your spending capacity is limited.
Since the card normally includes a free night certificate with $15,000 spend. With the current sign up offer (as of 2/9/26), does that mean one would earn 3 free night certificates after spending $15,000 (2 from SUP and one from regular card benefit)?
Yes, you would earn a total of three extra certs
Hey FM team, the terms don’t quite match what is on Chase’s website. It says 2 bonus points per dollar in the second part of the offer, while your website says 1 bonus points
It’s due to the misleading way that the offer is presented on the Chase website. On their website, it does indeed say that you’ll earn 2 bonus points per dollar, but 1 of those points is the 1x you earn as standard on the card – with this latest offer, you’ll only earn one extra point per dollar compared to normal which is why we’ve listed the offer that way, otherwise it makes it sound like you’ll earn 3x rather than 2x.
Looks like the sign up bonus increased to 65K points in my Chase app: 35K bonus after $3000 spend and 2x points up to $15K spend
Interesting. We’ve heard that offer would be changing, maybe that’s what it’s headed to. Note that it’s actually 50,000 points, because they’re including the 1x that you would get normally get on the card from the 15K spend as part of the “bonus.” We’ve refused to display it that way because we find it misleading.
FYI, Greg’s link shows up to 30,000 More Bonus Points by earning 2 Bonus Points total per $1 spent in the first 6 months from account opening on purchases that normally earn 1 Bonus Point, on up to $15,000 spent.
Hello! Just a quick heads up: the alternate World of Hyatt personal card offer above includes a Category 1-4 Certificate, not a 1-7. See the terms here.
I am a Globalist and I am thinking of signing up the WOH credit card. I have a question and hope someone can help to answer. If I stay at a property that offers double points rate (I believe it is 1 base point + 1 bonus point) and I decide to pay with my WOH CC. So say my hotel bill is $1000. Then with all the bonus and status I have here, how many points will I get on this transaction?
Since I only travel a few times each year, I am trying hard to see how I can maintain my Globalist status.
Appreciate your help

Base Hyatt earnings w/out credit card: 5 points per dollar
With Globalist 30% bonus: 6.5 points per dollar
With double points: 6.5 + 5 = 11.5 points per dollar
Hyatt cc adds 4 points per dollar = 15.5 points per dollar
$1,000 room rate charge (not counting taxes & fees) x 15.5 = 15,500 points
Only 5 x 1000 = 5000 will be base points though that count towards elite status.
What is a “Resy” offer?
Do not understand why to spend $15K for another Category 1-4 Hyatt room? You get the free night every year after paying the annual fee. That $15K could be better used elsewhere. If needed just spend $100. for a Hyatt room. Or buy Four nights at Hyatt and get higher status….that would still cost less than $15,000. Respectfully submitted. Thank you.
“Resy” has nothing to do with the World of Hyatt card, but to answer your question that refers to the best current offer on the Amex Platinum card. Restaurant reservation website Resy has a better offer for the Amex Platinum card than if you applied for the Platinum card through a referral or affiliate link or if you went directly to the Amex website. It is the standard Amex Platinum card, but the welcome offer is an all-time-high 125K points after $6K in purchases in the first 6 months *plus* 15x at restaurants worldwide and when you Shop Small in the US. That’s better than you’ll find anywhere else and that high offer is only available when clicking through the offer from the Resy site (note that Amex owns Resy and the application link from Resy does bring you to the Amex site to apply, but you have to start at Resy). We have a convenient link to that off on our Amex Platinum card page (as well as more information about the offer and the card): https://frequentmiler.com/amxplat/.
In terms of spending on the World of Hyatt card:
1) $15K spend gets you several things:
-An additional Category 1-4 free night certificate (all cardholders get the annual free night certificate, those who spend $15K on the card during a single year get an additional second certificate)
-6 elite nights (since this card provides 2 elite nights per $5K spend)
-15K Hyatt points (since the base earning is 1x)
Whether or not it is worth putting $15K spend on the Hyatt card comes down to how much you value the elite night credits and the free night certificate.
One could easily use the free night certificate for a hotel that costs $200-$300 per night. During peak travel periods, if you can find availability, sometimes it can be far more valuable (Greg used one a few years ago at a hotel over the Christmas/New Year’s period when the hotel he chose was charging around $1,000 per night).
If you would use the free night certificate on a night that otherwise costs $100, then it certainly would be a poor return on your spend. However, if you value Hyatt points at our reasonable redemption value of 1.5c per point and you value the free night certificate at even just $200, spending $15K on the card can represent a decent return:
-$225 (15K points at 1.5c per point)
-$200 (valuation for a free night certificate)
——–
$425 back on $15K spend = 2.83% back
Getting 2.83% back on otherwise unbonused purchases can be a solid deal. If you would use the points and/or certificate for far more value, spending $15K could be an even better deal. And that’s to say nothing of the elite nights: if those would help you qualify for Globalist status or reach a valuable milestone benefit that you otherwise wouldn’t, that can be icing on the cake.
It’s not necessarily a slam dunk. If you would otherwise put that $15K in purchases toward other welcome bonuses, then you could definitely come out far ahead. But if you aren’t constantly opening other new cards for welcome bonus spend, spending $15K on this card can be a good deal for Hyatt fans.
Almost end of 2021. Regarding Hyatt CC $15,000 in spend yielding a cat1-4 bonus night, two questions: first, how quickly do these bonus nights based on $15k spend hit our account? We don’t have to wait till our anniversary do we?
And…if we did $15k in December and $15k in January, that would yield two nights right? And with P2 involvement that could be four nights, right?
$60k in spend….opportunity costing or knocking???
Greg – the current public offer is better than your affiliate offer above (just thought you should know).
Actually not true – you just do the math correctly as it’s really just 45k “bonus points” over the 15k you’d earn on that spend – but you promoted it differently 🙂

Apparently Chase is planning on converting all old Hyatt cards to the new World of Hyatt card in January. My card is up for renewal soon so I plan to cancel and wait to apply for the World of Hyatt card later in 2021 and get a new bonus (in exchange for a hard pull and a strike against Chase’s 5/24 – both of which I can afford right now.
