Notes

Visa Signature; subject to Chase 5/24 (US Credit Card Guide). Hyatt stays effectively earn up to 9x (4x card + up to 5x member Base Points) - the engine only sees the card's 4x. Rewards Program Agreement RPA0456 revised 01/15/2026. 2026 changes: (1) Hyatt restructured its award chart on 2026-05-20 (Off-Peak/Standard/Peak replaced by five price tiers Lowest/Low/Moderate/Upper/Top; 112 hotels moved up a category, 24 down; Category 8 top rate 45k->75k), which changes which hotels the Category 1-4 free nights cover; (2) Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers to Hyatt from Sapphire Preferred (and Ink Business Preferred per InsideFlyer/TPG search results) drop to 4:3 - immediately for applicants from 2026-06-15, and from 2026-10-01 for existing cardholders; Sapphire Reserve keeps 1:1 - making this card's own Hyatt earn relatively more valuable for CSP holders.
