World of Hyatt Business Credit Card Benefits

Automatic Discoverist Status

This entitles you to on-property benefits like higher speed internet, daily bottles of water, a preferred room, and a non-guaranteed 2pm checkout.

Discoverist Status Gifts

One unusual benefit that many will appreciate is the ability to give Discoverist status to 5 people.

Assuming that the people you gift to don't have *any* status,  they will definitely appreciate the benefits.

Spending Your Way to Elite Status

For each $10,000 you spend, you get 5 elite nights. This is 25% better in terms of earned elite nights than the personal card (and, for many, high spend on a business card is easier to achieve because businesses have lots of expenses!)

This alone may get you to get and keep the World of Hyatt Business card.

If you already have the personal Hyatt credit card, which gives you 5 elite nights annually, you need 55 more for Globalist. With $110,000 in annual spend on your business Hyatt card, you wouldn't even need to stay a night to earn Globalist. Not a small figure, but not large for many, many businesses.

10% Rebate on Award Nights

Once you spend $50,000 in a calendar year, you will get 10% of all redemptions refunded (up to 20,000 points rebated annually) through the end of the year. That could be a huge boon if the timing works out. Just note that if your stay is in the next calendar year, it won't apply. You have to earn it and redeem it AND complete the stay in the same calendar year and in that order.

Still, for high spenders, it's easy to see meeting this spend in the 1st quarter of the year and then getting 20,000 points rebated on 200,000 points redeemed. You could easily justify the annual fee off this one benefit.

Up to $100 in Hyatt Credits Each Cardmember Year

Earn a $50 statement credit per qualifying Hyatt purchases (folio charges) up to 2 times each anniversary year. Each purchase must be over $50 in one transaction.
