One of the highlights of the The World of Hyatt Credit Card is the signup bonus of up to 60,000 World of Hyatt points.

While 60,000 points aren't in the realm of the 100,000 point bonuses we've seen on other co-brand hotel cards, due to the higher value of Hyatt points, this signup offer holds a surprising amount of value.

Other standout features of the World of Hyatt Card include a free night certificate in a Cat 1-4 hotel each account anniversary, a second free night after spending $15,000 each year, complimentary Discoverist status which you keep as long as you have the card, and the ability to earn 2 elite qualifying nights for every $5,000 spent on the card.

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort – Costa Rica

While not offering the same monetary return on free night certificates as the previous two properties, we’ve yet to see a round-up of Hyatt resorts that doesn’t feature the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort. At only 20,000 points per night, it’s the perfect way to use your points. Now that the Andaz Papagayo is a Category 5 Hyatt property, you can no longer use the Category annual free night certificate at this resort. It is also worth noting you are not required to pay resort fees on free nights!

• World of Hyatt Points – 20,000 per night

Park Hyatt Siem Ream – Cambodia

If we had to nail this list down to just one hotel, the Park Hyatt Siem Reap would be vying for that number one spot. Why? Location, location, location! Exotic, colonial elegance parked right in the heart of downtown Siem Ream, just minutes by foot to the best local food and entertainment, and only 15 minutes away from one of the world's most iconic heritage sites, Angkor Wat. While it offers the lowest financial return on this list, Siem Reap is a destination not to be missed, an experience that ticks all the travel boxes.

Park Hyatt Bangkok – Thailand

Opened in May 2017, the new Park Hyatt is set to offer ultimate luxury and comfort in the center of Bangkok. Perched in the top floors of Central Embassy near to the best food and shopping Bangkok has to offer, the Park Hyatt Bangkok offers some of the largest rooms in the city, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and a variety of intimate dining venues. The hotel is just a short drive from the city’s two international airports and has direct access to the BTS Skytrain. The rooftop pool alone makes this hotel worth a visit.

Final Thoughts

While the minimum spend required is not as attractive as it has been in the past, the 60,000 World of Hyatt points offered on World of Hyatt Card is a valuable signup bonus that provides access to some of the best luxury hotels in the world.

If you don’t have the points required to extend your stay, World of Hyatt is also a transfer partner of Ultimate Rewards, so you can transfer points earned with cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card or the Ink Business Preferred^® Credit Card to Hyatt, and use those points for additional nights or upgrades.

The The World of Hyatt Credit Card carries a $95 annual fee, but the annual free night certificate more than makes up for the out of pocket expense of the card.
