    Editorial take: PayPal Cashback Mastercard

    Editorial take: World of Hyatt Business Credit Card

    The strongest hotel business card if you actually stay at Hyatts. Five elite night credits + top-3-categories earning + the $100 in Hyatt credits make it pay for its $199 fee for almost any Hyatt-leaning traveler. Underrated.
