Chase Marriott Premier or Chase Hyatt?

Thinking about adding either the Chase Marriott Premier or Chase Hyatt to my wallet. Anyone have experience with one or both of these? Which is better? I'd love to hear your experiences with these cards. Thanks!

Re: Chase Marriott Premier or Chase Hyatt?

It honestly depends on which hotel you stay more at, or at least plan to. Like others have said in the other threads, the Marriott card is more favorable towards people whom are frequent patrons of the hotel chains.

If you don't plan to stay that much in hotels and have no preference, other cards such as SPG or Hilton is probably a little better.

I find Hyatt to be better compared to Marriott but latter has much better coverage.

Depends on where you stay most often. Should be a pretty straightforward thing. No point in changing what hotels you frequent just because their card is better. IF you stay at one all the time, pick that card. Smiley Tongue

 

Hopefully this isn't just an "I want a metal card" thing Smiley Tongue

+2. Your choice of CC should be determined by what hotel chain you frequent most, not the other way around. As for general guidelines:

 

If you frequent Marriott hotels already, then it's a decent card to help with that. Also Marriott has a lot wider coverage, so unlike Hyatt you'll find more properties outside major cities/resort areas.

 

However if you're a light traveller, have a decent-sized travel budget (since Hyatts aren't cheap, especially their international properties), and there are Hyatts where you want to go, it's a good choice.

 

The Hyatt card comes with platinum status which at least gets you free internet. Marriott only offers silver with their card, so you'll still be ponying up $10-20 per day for internet when you stay at their properties.
