For a limited time, Hyatt’s small business credit card comes with elevated World of Hyatt status. World of Hyatt Business Credit Card has an bonus offer of 60,000 Bonus Points plus Explorist status through February 28, 2026 after you spend $7,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. This offer ends June 30, 2025.

The card earns 4x at Hyatt properties; 2x in your top three spend categories each quarter (from among dining; airline tickets purchased directly with the airline; car rental agencies; local transit and commuting; gas stations; internet, cable and phone services; social media and search engine advertising; and shipping) plus 2x on fitness club and gym memberships (unique accelerator category); and 1x on everything else. And spend on this card can make sense!

The value here is the role the card plays in elite status: 5 Tier-Qualifying night credits toward status and Milestone rewards for every $10,000 you spend in a calendar year along with World of Hyatt Discoverist status for as long as your account is open. Plus, Discoverist status to up to five employees.

Now, Hyatt has by far the best top elite tier of any of the major hotel loyalty programs. But at the mid-tier like Explorist it’s not as strong. But anyone aiming towards Globalist will want to consider this card (it earns status credit faster than the consumer card) and having an elite status head start along the way is really helpful.

• 2 p.m. late check-out (guaranteed at most hotels, but subject to availability at resorts and gaming properties). I find Hyatt the best about late check-out. It’s usually offered to me proactively.

• Room upgrade, albeit not to suites.

I have the consumer card. That earns 2 elite nights for every $5,000 spent. This earns 5 per $10,000 – that’s 25% more (an extra elite night) for each $10,000 charged on the card. And since Hyatt now rewards stays every 10 nights up to 150 nights with incremental benefits that’s really valuable.

First of all, achieving Globalist status at 60 nights.

• Club lounge or breakfast. And Hyatt has the best hotel chain breakfast benefit, literally defining exactly what breakfast means to reduce the likelihood of hotels being chintzy with this. Several even honor breakfast via room service, which I love.

  

  

• Suite upgrades. Subject to availability at check-in, or earned as a Milestone Reward along the way where you can confirm suites at time of booking if a standard suite is available for sale. That’s the killer app in hotel loyalty or me.

  

• Dedicated concierge. At 60 nights (which earns Globalist status) you get assigned a concierge who will help you with all things Hyatt, from confirming upgrades to communicating with the hotel in advance of travel or chasing down missing points or billing issues.

• Plus, since there are additional rewards along the way for every 10 nights from 20 to 150, you can pick up several free nights, bonus points, additional confirmed suite upgrades and more.

You’ll receive up to $100 in Hyatt statement credits – spend $50 or more at any Hyatt property and earn $50 statement credits up to two times each anniversary year.

After $50,000 in spend each calendar year, you’ll get 10% back on redeemed points for the rest of that calendar year (up to 20,000 points rebated annually).

Bear in mind that the card is generally subject to Chase’s ‘5/24’ meaning you’re unlikely to be approved if you have 5 or more new accounts opened in the past 24 months.
