Chase Hyatt Now Requires $2,000 In Spend + Best Offer Available

The Offer

The Chase Hyatt card used to require you to spend $1,000 within three months. This has now been increased to a spend of $2,000 within three months, all offers seem to have been updated. The best offer is two free nights after $2,000 in spend, $50 statement credit after first purchase. I believe this offer also comes with the 5,000 points for adding an authorized user and them making their first purchase, but I’m not 100% sure (Update this comment confirms it, even though the 5k points doesn’t show on offer page). If this isn’t the case and you’d prefer the 5,000 points for adding an authorized user you can use this link, otherwise you need to:

1. Make a dummy booking on Hyatt.com (some people say this needs to not be in a major city or on a weekend, but YMMV)
2. On the check out page before payment you’ll see the offer next to credit card information (see image below)

Card Benefits

• Annual fee of $75 (not waived first year)
• Not included in the Chase 5/24 rule
• Card earns at the following rates:
  • 3 points per $1 spent at all Hyatt properties

Our Verdict

Only a spend difference of $1,000 – but that could matter to a lot of people.
