Update: The credit card offer in this post is no longer available. This offer has ended. Check our travel rewards card page for the latest offers.
Currently, you can stay two nights at any Hyatt hotel worldwide for free when you get the World of Hyatt credit card and spend $2,000 in the first 90 days of getting the card. But only if you apply by June 28, 2017. This offer has expired. The current offer is 30,000 Bonus Points after spending $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months. Plus, up to 30,000 extra points on the first $15,000 spent in the first 6 months on purchases that earn 1 point.
Because on June 29, 2017, there’s a new bonus on the World of Hyatt credit card.

You can get 2 free nights at any Hyatt hotel in the world after spending $2,000 in purchases within the first 90 days of card approval. This offer has ended.
The new offer is 30,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchase in the first 3 months. You can also earn an extra 30,000 points by spending $15,000 on non-bonus category purchases in the first 6 months.
So you can stay for free at expensive Hyatt hotels which cost over $1,000 a night like the:
- Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
- Park Hyatt Sydney
- Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome
- Park Hyatt Milan
- Park Hyatt St. Kitts
And there are no blackout dates. So you can travel over the holidays and not pay a penny for your hotel!
We used our 2 free nights to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney. That was one of our favorite trips.
Because we stayed a week in Sydney and only spent $569. And that included our First Class flights, hotels, activities, and food!
World of Hyatt credit card benefits:
- 30,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months.
- Another 30,000 points after spending $15,000 on non-bonus categories in the first 6 months

- A free night at any Category 1 to 4 Hyatt hotel in the world

- 2 points per $1 spent at restaurants, on airline tickets and car rentals
- 1 point per $1 spent everywhere else
- 5 tier qualifying night credits every year
- 2 tier qualifying nights for every $5,000 you spend (unlimited)
- No foreign transaction fees
- $95 annual fee
Bonus Changing
You will only get 1 free night at the Park Hyatt Maldives when you get the Hyatt credit card on June 29, 2017.

But the 2 free night bonus on the World of Hyatt credit card is going away after June 28, 2017.
Starting June 29, 2017, instead of getting 2 free nights to use at any Hyatt hotel, you’ll get 40,000 points. This offer has ended.
The new offer is 30,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. You can also earn an extra 30,000 points by spending $15,000 on non-bonus category purchases in the first 6 months.
Sure 40,000 points is a lot but it’s a lot less than 2 free nights anywhere. Hotels like the Park Hyatt Maldives (where I stayed in October) cost 25,000 points a night.
When the bonus changes, instead of 2 free nights at the Park Hyatt Sydney, you’ll only get 1 free night. 🙁 One free night isn’t anything to throw a stick at. The new bonus means you’re losing half the value of the current bonus.
If you don’t have the Hyatt card or haven’t had this card and received the bonus in the last 24 months, you should apply for the Hyatt credit card now. Definitely by June 28, 2017.
Jeff applied today and was instantly approved. I still have my card because I value the free night certificate. We recently used the annual free night to stay at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina.
40,000 Points or 2 Free Nights

If you don’t stay at expensive hotels, you might prefer the Hyatt credit card’s new bonus of 40,000 points.
With 40,000 points you could stay for 8 nights at a Category 1 hotel like the Hyatt Place Los Cabos.
Or you can get a 5-night vacation at the Park Hyatt Mendoza or a free weekend at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
Depending on where you’re going to vacation over the next year, the 40,000 points might be a better offer for you.
But if you want to stay at places like the Park Hyatt New York or the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, then the 2 free night bonus is a better offer.
Remember you can get the 2 free night bonus on the Hyatt credit card after making $2,000 in purchases in the first 90 days if you apply by June 28, 2017
Can You Get the Card if You’re 5/24
You can get the Hyatt credit card even if you’ve opened 5 credit cards in the last 2 years. Because the Hyatt credit card isn’t subject to Chase’s 5/24 rule (limits approvals if you’ve got 5 new credit cards in the last 24 months).
Conclusion
The bonus for the Hyatt credit card is changing soon. You can get 2 free nights at any Hyatt in the world after spending $2,000 on purchases in the first 90 days of having the card, if you apply by June 28, 2017.
But that is going away on June 29, 2017. When you get the Hyatt credit card after June 28, 2017, the new bonus is 40,000 points. This offer has ended.
The new offer is 30,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. You can also earn an extra 30,000 points by spending $15,000 on nonbonus category purchases in the first 6 months.
The Hyatt credit card’s yearly free night certificate at any Category 1 to 4 hotel makes it worth keeping and is why I’ve kept my card for so many years.
While the 40,000 points are nice, I’m a huge fan of the 2 free night bonus. How about you? Two free nights at any Hyatt or 40,000 points?

Hi Debra,
What a sweet deal. The Maldives place looks beyond mesmerizing. I will take the 1 free night, thank you :) Being right on the water in paradise is a hot deal, almost no matter what you pay. Only because it feels like one of those priceless places to me. Thanks for sharing :)
