The offer mentioned below for the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card is no longer available.

For business owners who frequently stay at Hyatt properties, Chase has new and updated promotions on its World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (see rates and fees).

The card has a welcome bonus of 60,000 Bonus Points plus Explorist status through 2/28/26 after you spend $7,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Offer ends 6/30/25.

And instead of letting it lapse at the end of the year, the benefit where you earn an uncapped 2X bonus points in your top three spending categories each quarter is now a permanent feature of the small business credit card.

Below, CNBC Select highlights how to earn a bonus of 60,000 points and Explorist status, plus how to maximize these points and the other benefits that come with having the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card.

New World of Hyatt Business Credit Card users can earn an elevated welcome bonus offer of 60,000 Bonus Points plus Explorist status through 2/28/26 after you spend $7,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Offer ends 6/30/25.

Many points enthusiasts value World of Hyatt points around 1.5 cents each, meaning you'd earn roughly $900 from the 60,000-point bonus.

Whether you're planning a business trip or some time off, you can cash in the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card's 60,000 bonus points for stays at more than 1,350 World of Hyatt properties around the world. To see what your points will get you depends on the hotel category, season and type of room.

If you have business in London, you can use your Hyatt points at the Hyatt Regency London, a five-star luxury hotel where rooms often cost north of $400 per night. Staying during standard dates will allow you up to two nights by using the 60,000-point welcome bonus, with each night costing 30,000 World of Hyatt points. Off-peak dates are 21,000 points per night and peak dates are 29,000 points per night.

You can also find highly-rated hotels that cost fewer points per night, letting you really maximize that 60,000-point bonus. The business- and family-friendly Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach hotel in Hawaii, for example, is a Category 3 property worth only 12,000 World of Hyatt points per night on standard nights, 9,000 points on off-peak dates or 15,000 points on peak dates. So, even if you plan to book a stay at the hotel during a peak season like the holidays, you can enjoy up to four nights with the 60,000-point welcome bonus.

Keep in mind that World of Hyatt also waives any resort or destination fees on award stays.

The World of Hyatt Business Credit Card has a $199 annual fee, which is in the mid-range in comparison to other hotel credit card annual fees. Nonetheless, the annual fee can be offset by the numerous perks that cardholders get. Beyond the welcome bonus, here are the top benefits of the World of Hyatt Business Card:

• Bonus points: Cardholders earn 2X points per dollar spent in their top three spending categories each quarter. Eligible spending categories include gas stations, dining, airline tickets purchased directly with the airline, car rental agencies, local transit and commuting, internet, cable and phone services, social media and search engine advertising and shipping.
• Automatic Discoverist status, plus earn elite credits with spending: Cardholders get automatic elite status in the World of Hyatt program, which grants benefits like room upgrades, premium internet and late checkout. Cardholders also earn five elite night credits for every $10,000 spent on the card.
• Gift Discoverist status to five people: Primary card members can gift Hyatt Discoverist status to five people. They do not need to be authorized users on the card to receive the complimentary status.
• Up to $100 in Hyatt credit: Earn $50 in statement credits, up to two times each anniversary year, after spending $50 or more at any Hyatt property with the card.
• 10% back when redeeming points: Once you spend more than $50,000 on the card in a calendar year, you'll receive 10% of your redeemed points back into your account for the remainder of the calendar year. There's a cap of 20,000 points back per year, so you won't get any more rebates after redeeming more than 200,000 World of Hyatt points in a year.

If this card's $199 annual fee gives you pause, you can opt for something like the Chase Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card (see rates and fees). It has a $95 annual fee and offers 3X points per dollar on the first $150,000 spent in combined purchases on shipping, internet, cable and phone services, advertising purchases with social media sites and search engines and travel each account anniversary year.

Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio, so you could potentially earn more points this way and still have the option to redeem with Hyatt, or any of Chase's other 14 transfer partners.

If you'd like to explore other hotel rewards programs, the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card is also a strong contender. Limited Time Offer: Earn 150,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points plus a Free Night Reward after you spend $8,000 in purchases on the Hilton Honors Business Card in the first six months of Card Membership. Offer ends 1/13/2027. You can redeem these points for complimentary hotel nights at any Hilton properties worldwide, including luxury brands like Waldorf Astoria and Conrad.

You also get complimentary Hilton Honors™ Gold status, offering perks like food and beverage credits at select properties, room upgrades when available, free Wi-Fi, a fifth night free when booking with points, free bottled water and the ability to choose your room. Terms apply. Enrollment required.
