Our Verdict
Previously the bonus was 75,000 points but required $10,000 in spend. This could be seen as a better offer for those that would struggle to meet the $10,000 spend requirement, but most people will prefer the higher sign up bonus. I’d recommend waiting for a bigger offer to return and because of that we won’t add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
Previous offer was $7500 spend?
Is the chase sapphire higher bonus publicly available now?
can you product change to a different chase business card after 1 year? 200 AF doesnt seem worth keeping compared to the personal hyatt card
You can product change from branded to branded or cobranded to cobranded card. For example, if there was a Chase Hyatt $200 AF and Chase Hyatt $0 AF then you could downgrade. However, you cannot product change from Chase Hyatt $200 AF to Chase Ink Business Cash credit card. Nor can you product change from business to personal credit card. You cannot product change from Business Chase Hyatt $200 AF to Personal Chase Hyatt $100 AF credit card.
they usually don’t let you PC across product-line.
I’d do it but I’m over 5/24. They would just deny me, like with WN. Chase is very good at quashing solid approvals.
I’m over it, Chase. Keep your cards. And I continue to wonder…is it the smart thing to do? Why not GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT?
You should plan out your card sign ups better
Pup, the quadfecta took priority.
I’ve been playing the game for over 15 years and there comes a point…
Gonna agree with Harcourt here on this one. Mr. Jason’s advice is good if you don’t already have a setup, after that it is moot. Most of us did plan the signups better for purposes of getting our chase tri/quad/whatever fectas set up. Once that is done it is silly to leave literally thousands of dollars in cash and points on the table just in the hopes another good chase card comes along that might be worth a free hotel night or a few hundred dollars. It is chase that is shooting themselves in the foot on some of these annual fee cards because they are making customers ineligible for them.
After the initial setup, time to move on and not worry about chase so much. I hear US Bank is bad too, maybe has a 6/24 rule? Totally turned me off tbh.
As a hyatt globalist, I’m inclined to be very interested in all Hyatt credit cards. I currently have the personal one. But there just isn’t enough juice in this offer for the $199 fee. And I don’t really know why I’d want to keep the card. Something like an automatic 10% rebate on all award redemptions (like IHG offers on one of their personal credit cards) would sell this to me. The redemption discount they’re offering is lame.
If you’re Globalist, isn’t the AF only $99 for you, given that the 2x $50 credits you’d be getting right away if you stay at Hyatt a lot? I imagine it even works on room rates if you pay at the property. You could probably even ask front desk to prepay $50 into your folio upon check-in, then do another one on checkout, and you’ll be done in one stay of $100+.
However, even for a net $99 AF, the benefits do seem scarce still, I agree.
is Chase still anti sole prop? I do have that old Marriott Biz with them still
It is not. I applied as sole proprietor and got approved right before offer expiration
I actually like this one more than the old one since I’ve been struggling to keep up with all the amex bonus spending. That said, it may just be me, but the old offer still seems to work at this link:
https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/rewards/business-card.html
I just checked my referral link, looks like through referral link it’s still 75k bonus too.
Honestly this is better than the 75k for $7500 spend. Everytime I thought about getting the WoH Biz I was reminded that I could just open an Ink for the same SUB without an AF.
Hopefully the personal card gets a new SUB (currently 45k + FNC after $15k spend). Been almost 16 months now with no change.
I agree. I was tempted to get the Business Hyatt credit card but went with the Chase Ink Preferred Business. Lower AF, higher return, and can transfer to Hyatt transfer partner. I might product change to Chase Ink Unlimited Business after a year. I had a lot to pay in taxes this year so a lot of spend in one shot. 100K UR points for $15K SUB.
Wasn’t it previously $7,500 in spend for 75,000?
Yes
You are right, I did this bonus.
