Best credit card to use at Hyatt.

World of Hyatt is the smallest of the major U.S. hotel programs by footprint — about 1,400 properties — but consistently rates as the most rewarding on a points-per-dollar basis, with award nights starting at 3,500 points at Category 1 properties. Hyatt points are widely valued at 1.7 to 2.0 cents each, the highest in the hotel space, so even modest co-brand earn rates produce strong cashback-equivalent value. Direct bookings at hyatt.com earn points and elite credit; OTA stays earn neither. The Chase World of Hyatt cards are also one of the few flexible-points pipelines into Hyatt, since Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer to Hyatt 1:1 — making Sapphire Preferred and Reserve indirect Hyatt earners as well.
