We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Chase Increases Minimum Spending Requirement for the Hyatt Card

    Via The Points Guy, the minimum spending requirement for the Chase Hyatt card has doubled.

    To earn the sign-up bonus, you’ll now have to spend $2,000 within the first 3 months of account opening.

    But this isn’t horrible news.  Because you’ll still earn 2 free night certificates to use at any Hyatt around the world, like the luxurious Park Hyatt Milan!

    Use Your Free Night Certificates From the Chase Hyatt Card at the Luxurious Park Hyatt Milan!

    Here’s more about this change.

    What’s the Deal?

    Link:   Chase Hyatt

    With the Chase Hyatt card, you can earn 2 free nights at any Hyatt after spending $2,000 within the first 3 months of account opening.

    And 5,000 bonus Hyatt points when you add an authorized user and make a purchase within the same timeframe.

    The minimum spending requirement used to be just $1,000 in the first 3 months.

    The $75 annual fee is NOT waived for the first year.  But it’s a card worth keeping long-term, because you’ll earn a free night at a category 1 to 4 Hyatt hotel each year on your card anniversary.  You can read my full review of the card here.

    Should You Still Consider the Chase Hyatt Card?

    While the minimum spending requirement used to be $1,000 within the first 3 months of opening your account, this change isn’t the end of the world.

    The Chase Hyatt card is still a great option for folks, because you can use the free night certificates at any Hyatt hotel.  Including the beautiful Park Hyatt Milan where Emily and I stayed.

    Rooms here cost $700+ per night.  So you can definitely get Big Travel with Small Money with this card!

    Also, Chase’s stricter approval rules don’t seem to apply to this particular Chase card.  So even if you’ve opened ~5+ cards from any bank in the last 24 months, you can still be approved for the Chase Hyatt card!
