Is the Chase World of Hyatt Business worth the $199 annual fee?

Only if the value you actually use clears $199. Chase advertises up to $140 across 11 benefits, but 2 require enrollment and 11 expire on a deadline. Here is the math, from the issuer’s own terms.

Most of this card's value is the points or cash back it earns. The WTF Check counts credits only, so weigh what you earn on top.

The short answer

Annual fee

$199

Verified Sep 19, 2026 from creditcards.chase.com

Charged whether you use anything or not.

Break-even

$199

Value you must actually use to come out even.

Auto-counted value

Nothing here counts on its own — every dollar takes action. Use it all and it gives back $140 a year.

What the $140 is actually made of

Auto-counted

Posts automatically. Counted in full.

Capturable

$140

Real credits you must use before they expire.

Earned, not given

Requires spend or a condition. Never counted for you.

Advertised totals assume perfect usage. That is why we separate value that arrives on its own from value you have to chase, and never count value you have to earn.

Chase World of Hyatt Business FAQ

What is the annual fee on the Chase World of Hyatt Business?

Chase lists the Chase World of Hyatt Business annual fee at $199. If you hold an older version of the card at a different fee, you can enter your actual fee in the WTF Check so the math reflects what you really pay.

What is the break-even point on the Chase World of Hyatt Business?

You break even once the value you actually use reaches $199. WorthTheFee tracks 11 benefits worth up to $140 in listed value — that is the maximum, not a guarantee. Unused credits do not count toward break-even.

Do any Chase World of Hyatt Business benefits count automatically?

No. Every tracked benefit on this card requires you to use it or meet a condition, so WorthTheFee starts your net value at $-199 and only adds value as you confirm usage.

Which Chase World of Hyatt Business benefits require enrollment?

2 of the 11 tracked benefits require you to enroll before they pay out. An unenrolled credit is worth nothing regardless of what the issuer advertises, so WorthTheFee flags them separately.

How often do the Chase World of Hyatt Business credits reset?

Credits reset on different clocks: 10 reset once a year, 1 resets quarterly. Unused credits do not roll over — when a period ends, that value is gone.

Do unused Chase World of Hyatt Business credits roll over?

No. Statement credits expire at the end of their period. That is why WorthTheFee counts only the value you confirm you will use, rather than the issuer's advertised total.

Where did WorthTheFee get these Chase World of Hyatt Business benefit values?

From Chase's own published card and terms pages, linked in the Official sources section on this page. WorthTheFee is not the issuer and does not receive payment to change a verdict.

When were the Chase World of Hyatt Business terms last checked?

WorthTheFee last reviewed this card against Chase's official sources on September 19, 2026. Issuers change terms without notice — always confirm on the issuer page before applying.
