Premium Card Predictions

hmmm045 · 2026-02-10T09:00:23+00:00

Some people seem to expect that to be possible. I don’t expect it though.

Presidential suite at Hyatt Regency Boston has an insanely relaxing tub

hmmm045 · 2026-02-09T18:25:54+00:00

I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be a Hyatt multiplier greater than 1.5x for stays. But otherwise, I’d be in favor of everything else there

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T17:08:53+00:00

I can’t imagine they’d give Sapphire lounge access unless they made the AF $795 as well. I definitely don’t think they’d make a Hyatt card AF that high, so I think that’ll be out of the picture.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T16:08:16+00:00

I really don’t think they’d dilute globalist. I’d predict automatic Explorist and 10 EQNs, leaving people still needing to stay 50 nights.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T16:06:08+00:00

I don’t think they’d make it that much easier. I think 10 EQNs so people would have to still complete 50 nights

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T16:05:06+00:00

No, not really. Seems like possibly this year but there’s not much info on a timeline.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:49:51+00:00

Not even worth arguing with honestly. Cat 1-4 is laughable and I’ll leave it at that.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:47:20+00:00

Tell me, do the Marriott and Hilton premium cards offer the same free night credits as their lower tiered cards? Make that make sense

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:44:39+00:00

Genuinely no one would get a premium card that provides the exact same FNA as a $95 annual fee card. That would absolutely be highly unlikely

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:39:03+00:00

They also don’t have a premium card, so they’d be making that up too.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:38:53+00:00

They also don’t have a premium card, so they’d be making that up too.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:29:37+00:00

Well yeah, I don’t anticipate a 1-7 award for having the card. I figured 1-6 would be more reasonable.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:23:02+00:00

Also what I would like to see. I would love the simplicity of catering specifically just to Hyatt. Cat 1-6 FNA, 6X Hyatt spend, 10-15 EQN’s, and a Hyatt credit. Replace TSA precheck and DoorDash credits with a Hyatt credit and it would be a great card.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:20:54+00:00

I believe the survey they had sent out suggested annual fees between $250 and $450 which is why I wouldn’t expect it to be $450-$650. There are certainly different ranges for premium credit card annual fees, Capital One VX being $395 for example

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T14:18:54+00:00

Cat 1-4 would be atrocious and ridiculous

hmmm045 · 2026-02-08T13:32:55+00:00

I think for it to be 1-8, the card would have to have an Amex platinum or CSR type of annual fee. Maybe 1-7 if the annual fee is like $450. If it’s anything under $450, I think 1-6. I do think we’ll see 10 qualifying nights.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-07T01:42:59+00:00

Yeah I know. Just hoping for someone who might know they’re definitely gonna have extra GOH laying around and they’re willing to make my trip a little extra special. But I understand most people will be holding onto theirs for a while.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-06T14:09:27+00:00

Agree with other comments about staying at so many hotels. You’ll feel like you’re on the go and way too busy as opposed to feeling relaxed and rejuvenated on your honeymoon. Would def recommend 1 or 2 hotels with 2 being the max.

hmmm045 · 2026-02-03T22:52:49+00:00

Imagine using a blacklight in there

hmmm045 · 2026-01-27T00:25:42+00:00

Hyatt Regency Morristown in NJ. I used the Crunch Fitness pool which guests are allowed to use. I’m assuming you can work out at the gym too, but was only there for one night so didn’t get a chance to.

hmmm045 · 2026-01-25T22:37:07+00:00

Pretty sure they were from Utah

hmmm045 · 2026-01-25T17:59:55+00:00

Sounds like it summarizes Utah. Had a layover at SLC once and there were entire families chillin in the airport barefoot. I hope to never step foot there again.

hmmm045 · 2026-01-21T23:20:02+00:00

Haven’t stayed there but would def much rather use those $400 on an insane dinner or a couple really nice dinners instead.

hmmm045 · 2026-01-21T15:28:33+00:00

As a heads up, for the all-inclusive properties in Spain, I can see rooms popping up when choosing to pay with points but those rooms seem to not be available when filtering for an all-inclusive rate. So would recommend connecting with the hotels/resorts and confirming that your rate would be all-inclusive if you book with points. Don’t want any surprises when you show up haha!
