Is the World of Hyatt Card worth its $95 fee?

On $1,000 a month of spending, split evenly across restaurants, travel, groceries and everything else: yes.

27,000 points a year at 2.19¢ = $591, minus the $95 annual fee = $496 a year. The 60,000-point welcome bonus adds $1,314 in year one.

That is a worked example, not a figure about you — we have no idea what you spend. Put your own numbers in and the same arithmetic runs on those.

What comes with it

Credits count for $0 in the sum above — what a typical holder actually redeems, not the sticker value of every credit on the page. No statement credits. The annual Category 1-4 free night is worth more than the fee for most holders and is not counted.
