The World of Hyatt credit card is incredibly valuable and rewarding. While it is quite easy to accrue Hyatt points via Chase Ultimate Rewards cards, as Chase is a transfer partner, the World of Hyatt credit card also makes sense for most award travelers.
We typically recommend most folks to start with Chase cards because of the 5/24 rule. And of all the Chase cards, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is really the best option for most of those starting off in award travel.
Hyatt Regency Coconut Point is perfect for Globalists. It is a nice resort for everyone, but Globalists save $116+ per night (assuming only 2 adults). Free valet parking, free breakfast, and waived resort fees really adds up quickly.
The Freedom Flex currently offers a sign-up bonus of $200 or 20,000 Ultimate Rewards for $500 spend in the first three months. For a limited time, it also includes 5x on grocery store purchases, up to the first $12,000 in the first 12 months.
The Chase Freedom Unlimited will always have a spot in my wallet due to its ease of use, flexibility in redemption and lack of an annual fee. Although there is a solid cash back option, the ultimate value comes from pairing the card with the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve for travel.
One of the best reasons to accrue Chase Ultimate Rewards is transferring those points to airline and hotel partners. One of Chase’s most undervalued partners is the International Airlines Group. For the non-avgeeks among us, IAG is the parent company for British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus.
Honestly, I have ZERO idea what happened today. Was it because I attempted to move money from 2 different business accounts at Brex to the same personal account at Chase? Was it a fraud alert by Chase? Was it a fraud alert by Brex? I don’t think I will ever know.
While it might not be for everyone, the numbers show that a 10 night Marriott mattress run is worth it for me. I will likely pay cash for my mattress run and use just under 33,000 Ultimate Rewards to offset the cost.
