Practical Recommendation

This card is built for people who actually stay at Hyatt sometimes and like simple value. The annual Category 1–4 free night plus automatic Discoverist status and five elite night credits each year do most of the work. If you also put a few restaurant or airfare charges on it, the math gets even easier.

If you never see a Hyatt and do not want to track a free night certificate, skip it. Bottom line: casual Hyatt guests get easy, repeatable value from a low annual fee; points chasers can spend toward extra elite nights if that is your thing.

Perks

  • Earning rates (detail) – 4x at hyatt hotels & resorts; 2x at restaurants, airline tickets purchased directly from airlines, local transit & commuting, and fitness club/gym memberships; 1x on everything else. Use it at Hyatt and for common travel/food spends.
  • Discoverist status – Automatic as long as you keep the card open; think minor upgrades, late checkout where available, and premium internet. Good baseline perks for occasional Hyatt stays.
  • Elite night credits – Get 5 tier-qualifying nights each calendar year, plus 2 more nights for every $5,000 in spend. Helpful if you are pushing for Explorist or Globalist without living in hotels.
  • Annual Free Night Awards – One Category 1–4 free night each card anniversary, with a second Category 1–4 free night after $15,000 in calendar-year spend. Easy value if you can aim one or two stays at eligible properties.
  • No foreign transaction fees – Pay abroad without the extra 1%–3% markup most cards still charge.
  • DoorDash DashPass + $10 quarterly – One year of DashPass when activated during the promo window, plus a $10 quarterly non-restaurant discount while enrolled.
