Editorial take: United Club Business Card

Pure United Club access card. Cash equivalent of the lounge membership is $750+/year, so the $695 fee makes sense if you're at United hubs frequently. The 1.5x base earning is the highest catch-all rate among premium business cards.

Editorial take: World of Hyatt Credit Card

The anniversary free night at a Category 1-4 Hyatt easily covers the $95 fee, even a Category 1 Hyatt Place clears it. If you stay at any Hyatt once a year, this card pays for itself.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, United Club Business Card or World of Hyatt Credit Card?
The United Club Business Card has the bigger bonus, 100,000 miles + 2,000 PQP, worth roughly $1,500, versus Up to 60,000 Bonus Points (~$1,020) on the World of Hyatt Credit Card.
Is the United Club Business Card's $695 annual fee worth it compared to the World of Hyatt Credit Card?
Premium cards like the United Club Business Card ($695/yr) earn their fee through credits, travel, dining, lounge access, statement reimbursements. If you'd actively use $695+ of those credits, the math works. The World of Hyatt Credit Card at $95/yr trades some perks for a lower commitment.
Can I have both the United Club Business Card and World of Hyatt Credit Card?
Yes, though both are issued by Chase so the same issuer-specific application rules apply (Chase 5/24 if applicable, Amex once-per-lifetime bonus, etc.). Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
Should I get the United Club Business Card or the World of Hyatt Credit Card first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. United Club Business Card: $5,000 spend in 3 months. World of Hyatt Credit Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
