Verdict
Our Pick: World of Hyatt Credit Card
With a 4.5/5 rating, the World of Hyatt Credit Card edges out the American Express Business Gold Card (4.4/5). At $95/yr, the value proposition is strong. The World of Hyatt card is the best hotel card for point maximizers. Hyatt points average 2cpp+ in value, the anniversary free night covers its fee, and Discoverist status adds room upgrades and late checkout.
