The World of Hyatt Credit Card has a limited-time welcome offer for new cardholders that could help with travel goals in the next year.

Those who apply and are approved for the card through Oct. 31, 2024, get this sign-up bonus: Earn five category 1-4 Free Night Awards to use at Hyatt hotels after spending $4,000 in the first three months of opening the account. This offer includes domestic and international properties.

Compared with the card's previous sign-up offer, this bonus is much more straightforward and easier to attain — although it's also less flexible. Here's why.

The card's former offer enabled you to earn up to 60,000 bonus points, but in two different tiers: It awarded you 30,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months of opening the account. And then, for the first six months, you earned 2 points per $1 on spending that would otherwise have earned only 1 point, on up to $15,000 spent.)

The new offer of five free nights is certainly less complicated. But depending on how you book at Hyatt, the previous offer might have allowed you to redeem those 60,000 points for even more than five nights, assuming you booked lower-category properties.

Even so, if the Hyatt family is your hotel group of choice, you should easily be able to extract enough value from this new offer to more than make up for the card's $95 annual fee. As a cardholder, you’ll also earn ongoing rewards in a variety of categories:

  • 4 bonus points per $1 spent with your card at Hyatt hotels, including participating restaurants and spas. Properties under the Hyatt umbrella include the Park Hyatt, Miraval, Andaz and Hyatt Place. (On top of that, you’ll earn 5 points per dollar spent at Hyatt hotels by being a member of the World of Hyatt loyalty program.)

  • 2 points per $1 on dining at restaurants, airline tickets purchased through the airline, fitness club and gym memberships, and local transit and commuting.

  • 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.

You can redeem points for hotel stays, room upgrades, eligible purchases at select Hyatt locations and more.

In addition to the sign-up bonus, the card also offers a free night at any category 1-4 Hyatt hotel or resort every year after your cardholder anniversary, and an extra free night in a similar property if you spend $15,000 in a calendar year. As a cardholder, you’ll also get automatic Discoverist status, which makes you eligible for a 10% bonus on points earned on eligible purchases, an upgrade to a preferred room (if available), late checkout (if available) and waived resort fees on Free Night Awards.
