Our Verdict

The signup bonus is nice. You can also spruce it up by having your friend/spouse refer you and they’ll get the referral bonus as well.

Some might find it useful as a keeper card, especially if you can easily use the two $50 Hyatt credits. The categories are a bit better than on the personal Hyatt card, but the free night on the personal version makes it much easier to justify the annual fee. There was a rumor last week about a premium Hyatt card coming out, and apparently that was a misdirected reference to this new Hyatt business card.
