Chase Hyatt

pats23 — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:38:09 GMT

Im surprised this card isn't more popular on the forum. I know people hate annual fees but the one free night a year at a 300-500 a night hotel more than makes up for it.

I just learned of this today and immediately got the card. Maybe others don't know or maybe im missing something or people just don't care about staying at hotels.

Anybody with this card already have some opinions good or bad?

All I know is that this card will be in my future wallet. We stay there every year so it would pay off, Can you do a joint app with this card?

Unfortunately, Chase no longer offers joint applications for their CCs.

I have it. They are very generous with credit limits with this card. I'm using the two free nights to celebrate my birthday in a $500 a night hotel for two nights free of charge. Well worth it.

Also, if you go on hyatts website, try booking a room. They will offer a statement credit usually in addition to the free nights that almost completely offsets the fee.

I'll second that. I apped for the card back in October 2012, after I booked a room. Got a $100 credit, two free nights that I used at the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, and a $10k limit, when my first Chase card was only $5k, from the month before.

I feel the card is well worth it, I had no thought of getting this card until I saw the intial 2 free nights and then 1 a year and then it was a no brainer

Nope missed that boat. Do you think I can call before I activate my card and maybe get it waived?

Re: Chase Hyatt

Did you apply online?? If so it should already be applied.

Wow, the annual one free night seems pretty good as its not a one time thing.

So glad there is this knowledge about the card! It is one of my favorite specific card (I should just say co-branded card)!

The 3x Hyatt points is amazing, as is the 2x dining; however, I use my CSP for dining. The best part is staying at a Hyatt, getting 3x the points + 5x with your gold passport number. 8x points each stay!! Absolutely amazing, and great loyalty throughout the brand.

Forgot to mention, that this is also more valuable with Hyatt merging promos with MLife.

The Hyatt card is a nice card to have, but it's not a card that I would recommend people to put most of their general misc. spending on.

If you like Hyatt properties and the nicer properties happen to be where you are travelling, then it's definitely a big plus. For frequent overseas travelers there's no FTF, and Hyatt properties are much better in Asia and Europe as well.

Totally agree. Actually the only spending that goes on my card is Hyatt stays and events I plan through the Hyatt which I get reimbursed for (free points!!!).

The annual fee is not waived if applying on the Hyatt website. The $75 AF is charged right away, and a $50 statement credit is applied after the first purchase.

Other Chase hotel card options are:

IHG - free night, $49 AF

Marriott - free night, $85 AF, metal card
