Link: Apply now for the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card
The World of Hyatt Business Credit Card is a popular hotel credit card, which can help supercharge the World of Hyatt points you earn. We’ve recently seen a new welcome offer rolled out on this card, with a nice incremental elite status perk, on top of the standard bonus.

World of Hyatt Business Card limited time bonus details
For applications through June 30, 2025, the World of Hyatt Business Card is offering a limited time two-part welcome bonus. If you spend $7,000 within the first three months, you can receive:
- 60,000 World of Hyatt bonus points
- World of Hyatt Explorist status through February 28, 2026
The points are the standard part of this welcome offer, while the elevated elite status is what’s improved compared to normal. Explorist is World of Hyatt’s mid-tier elite status, and offers some valuable perks. Personally, I value World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents each, so to me, the World of Hyatt points are worth $900.
Note that if you care more about points than elite status, we’ve sometimes in the past seen welcome offers of up to 75,000 points on the card, though it’s anyone’s guess when we see that deal return.
World of Hyatt Business Card eligibility requirements
If you’re interested in applying for the World of Hyatt Business Card, the typical Chase credit card application restrictions apply.
Fortunately beyond that, the rules are pretty simple. You’re not eligible for the bonus on the card if you currently have this card, or if you’ve received a new cardmember bonus on the card in the past 24 months.
Eligibility for this card is unrelated to whether you have the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review), which is the personal version of the card, and which has a solid bonus as well. There can be merit to having both cards.

Why the World of Hyatt Business Card is worth it
The World of Hyatt Business Card has a $199 annual fee, and offers a variety of perks that could make it worthwhile:
- The card offers World of Hyatt Discoverist status on an ongoing basis not just for the primary cardmember, but also for up to five employees
- The card offers up to $100 in Hyatt credits annually; these are easy to use, because when you spend $50 or more at any Hyatt property with the card, you’ll get a $50 statement credit, up to two times each anniversary year
- The card offers five elite nights for every $10,000 spent in a calendar year, meaning you rack up elite nights faster than spending on the personal version of the card
- The card offers up to 10% of redeemed points back — this applies when you spend $50,000 on the card in a calendar year, and then you can get up to 20,000 points back for redemptions for the remainder of the same year
- The card offers 4x points on Hyatt spending, 2x points on fitness clubs and gym memberships, and more
The major advantage of this card over the personal version of the card is that you earn elite nights toward status at a faster pace with your spending, and the card also has a more lucrative welcome offer. Beyond that, though, I find the personal version of the card to have an all around more lucrative value proposition.

Bottom line
The World of Hyatt Business Card is offering a great welcome bonus, where you can earn 60,000 bonus points plus Explorist status through February 28, 2026, upon completing eligible spending. This card has some useful perks, and it’s also the most rewarding card in terms of earning World of Hyatt elite nights for spending on an ongoing basis. If you’ve been considering picking up this card, now would be a good time to apply.
Anyone plan to pick up the World of Hyatt Business Card with 60K bonus points and Explorist status?
This was a really disappointing card to have (after the SUB). No opps for free nights, no spend promos…a true dud. And now Explorist status?! Gets you nothing
