🏆 Our Favorite Pick: A year of hotels on one card

I know, I know. We won’t shut up about this card.

But one glance at the annual fee, and your eyes glaze over. And I get it, friends. I truly know how you feel. Cause that’s me.

Or at least it was before this week… 🫣

After years of rolling my eyes and writing this card off, I was finally convinced it could be a good fit for my wallet.

If you’ve been on the fence, its limited-time offer of 150,000 UR points is about as enticing as it gets — and yes, there’s still that big boy annual fee.

But this week, we got word that this offer is ending soon. We wanted to make sure y’all knew exactly how epic this offer truly is, so Mike broke down how much value this one little card can pack.

In addition to those points, this card boasts over $1,000 in hotel and travel credits that can be used to book a multitude of hotels (and that’s before you dive into its other perks).

And Mike — in true Mike fashion — went to extremes, explaining how to book 92 nights with the credits and points this card offers. 👇

Points options galore

By taking advantage of Hyatt’s new award chart, you could book certain hotels for just 3k points a night, which, with those 150,000 UR points, equals 52 nights right there.

Now, realistically, most of us probably won’t be spending 92 nights (or even 52) in hotels this year… cause we’ve got jobs or kids or pets or whatever. 🙄

But that just means we could spend a little more per night and still get solid value.

Take this hotel in Prague that I stayed at during a Christmas market tour a few years ago:

Y’all, that’s 6,000 points a night for a hotel room in Europe during Christmas market season. 🤯

Let’s say you spent 3 nights there, another 3 at the Lindner Hotel Vienna Am Belvedere in Vienna, and 2 to 3 nights at the Lindner Hotel Bratislava…

… and then head over to Germany for another few nights in Frankfurt at one of the several similarly priced options available there, before flying home.

The math: 12 nights x 6k points a night = 72,000 points for a 12-day trip to the Christmas markets in Eastern Europe.

That’s thousands of dollars saved while still banking half of your welcome offer points.

And we haven’t even touched the credits yet. 🤭

The one-time credit worth mentioning

This card also comes with a one-time $250 credit (expires 12/31/2026) for use at select hotel chains, including NH Hotels, IHG, and Pan Pacific.

Mike very kindly invited all of us to visit him in Indonesia, where we could use the credit to book 11 nights at this Holiday Inn down the street from him.👇

But if Indonesia isn’t in your 2026 travel plans (maybe add it?), there are plenty of locations closer to home, even if the rates run a little higher.

Take a quick weekend at Disney World, for example.

While not completely free, you’re still shaving $250 off a 2-night stay right next door to the Magic Kingdom.

Staying in Mickey’s backyard for less than $100 sounds like a great deal to me. 🤷‍♀️

Discounted luxury

This card also includes two annual $250 credits for use at The Edit, the bank’s luxury hotel collection, which can be booked through the travel portal.

Still in Orlando, you could head down the road for a 2-day luxury stay at the Omni Orlando at ChampionsGate (and enjoy perks like free breakfast and a $100 credit to use at the spa or dinner… for $310 after the travel credit).

For this property, you could actually stack one of the $250 The Edit credits with the one-time $250 credit we discussed a few moments ago, and make it an even sweeter deal.

The no-brainer credit

There’s one more $300 travel credit with this card that is suuuper straightforward to use — just book travel with your card, and you’ll be credited $300.

It’s that easy.

If you really wanted to milk this credit, Mike found a neat deal on a $16 hotel in Krakow, Poland.

So for $300, you could spend 18 nights in Europe… which is straight up wild, y’all. 😲

This credit isn’t just for hotels — it’s useful for hotel stays, experiences, rental cars, flights, trains, cruises, you name it. You don’t even have to use the travel portal.

Just pay for travel with the card, and up to $300 will be credited back to you (you just won’t earn points on anything covered by the credit).

Bottom line

Whether you max out with 92 nights or plan a few trips throughout the year, if you play your cards right, you can easily take multiple vacations for the price of that annual fee.

👉 Heads up: this epic offer is ending soon, so don’t wait if you wanna jump on the points train.
