Earn Up to 60,000 Points With the World of Hyatt Card
If you're a new applicant for the personal World of Hyatt Card, you can earn a two-tiered welcome bonus of up to 60,000 World of Hyatt bonus points.
You'll earn 30,000 bonus points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Plus, you can earn up to 30,000 additional bonus points by earning 2X points per $1 spent in the first 6 months from account opening on purchases that normally earn one bonus point — on up to $15,000 spent.

Who's Eligible for World of Hyatt Credit Cards?
As with any kind of card offer, there are a few application rules to keep in mind. First, you're not eligible for the bonus on the World of Hyatt Card if you currently hold it — or if you have received a bonus on it in the past two years. The same is true for the Hyatt Business Card — but you'll need to run a business to qualify for this card (here's what counts as a business).
It's also worth noting that currently holding the Hyatt Business Card doesn't prevent you from earning the welcome bonus on the personal World of Hyatt Card — and vice versa.
And as both cards are issued by Chase, they're subject to the infamous Chase 5/24 rule. This unpublished rule means you won't be approved for a Chase credit card if there are five or more new credit card accounts showing on your credit report within the past 24 months.
