Hyatt and Chase launch Hyatt-Branded Credit Card

Hyatt Hotels and Chase Card Services have launched the first Hyatt Card, a Visa credit card.

The introduction of this co-branded credit card, through Hyatt subsidiary HyCard, Inc. and Chase Card Services, provides Hyatt guests with numerous benefits.

After the first use of the credit card, members will receive, courtesy of Chase and Hyatt, two nights at any Hyatt anywhere in the world which are redeemable within one year. Key features of the Hyatt Card include:

- Zero foreign transaction fees: Foreign transaction fees are waived when making international purchases with this card.
- Hyatt stays earn more: 3 Hyatt Gold Passport points for every $1 spent at any Hyatt property, 1 point for every $1 spent on purchases elsewhere and there are no limits to the points you can earn.
- Simple and easy redemptions: No blackout dates, no limit on available standard rooms and no resort fees.

Hyatt Gold Passport Platinum membership:
• 15% point bonus on each stay
• The best room available within the category booked
• Complimentary Internet service
• Expedited check-in at a dedicated area for members
• Guaranteed 72-hour room availability

The card, which has an annual fee of US$ 75, also offers:

- Visa concierge service and acceptance at millions of merchants in more than 200 countries
- Travel protection, including trip cancellation, lost luggage and trip delay.

John Wallis, global head of marketing and brand strategy, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, said, “To further Hyatt’s mission of providing authentic hospitality, we have made significant enhancements and adjustments to our Hyatt Gold Passport loyalty program over the past two years to make it best-in-class. The Hyatt Card is another logical step in deepening relationships with our guests and welcoming new travelers into the fold.”

“Our objective, when working with Hyatt on this card, was to create a product that resonated with the Hyatt guest and provided a differentiated offering that aligned with Hyatt's brand,” added Val Greer, general manager, Chase Card Services. “Having the ability to simply and easily redeem rewards with no blackout dates or limits on available standard rooms, and no resort or internet fees, the card offers unparalleled opportunities to enjoy Hyatt properties worldwide.”
