MISSION, Kan., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (Family Features) The holidays bring plenty of joy and just as many receipts. Between gift-giving, hosting and travel plans, the season of cheer can quickly turn into a season of spending.
According to the National Retail Federation, American shoppers spent thousands of dollars during the season last year, including approximately $902 per person on holiday gifts, food, decorations and other items that make the season bright.
However, savvy shoppers are finding ways to make their holiday spending go further. One way to do this is by choosing a credit card that rewards your purchases with meaningful perks. Consider a travel credit card like the World of Hyatt Credit Card from Chase, which offers opportunities to unlock benefits including free hotel nights, elite status and points on every purchase.
To maximize spending and reward yourself this season, those who apply for the credit card by Nov. 20 and get approved can earn up to 60,000 Bonus Points – earning 30,000 Bonus Points after spending $3,000 in your first three months from account opening, plus another 30,000 Bonus Points by earning two Bonus Points per $1 spent in your first six months on everyday purchases (up to $15,000). You’ll also enjoy double the progress toward elite status receiving two tier-qualifying night credits per night instead of one through Jan. 31, 2026, plus complimentary Discoverist status with perks like preferred rooms and late checkout.
It’s the ultimate gift that gives back, long after the holidays are over as 60,000 points can go a long way, from 5 nights at a countryside retreat to a weekend beachside getaway. If you’re looking to get the most out of your spending this season, consider these tips to maximize your rewards.
The Joy of Dining Out
Holiday meals aren’t just a break from the chaos; they’re an opportunity to earn your next escape. From brunch with visiting friends to lunch breaks between shopping and festive nights out, every bite can bring you closer to your next getaway. Use the credit card to earn 2X Bonus Points per eligible $1 spent on dining and turn your seasonal celebrations into unforgettable rewards.
Take Advantage of Holiday Trips
If you’re heading home for the holidays or using the season to plan an escape, transportation costs can be just as rewarding as the travel itself. The credit card lets you earn 2X Bonus Points per eligible $1 spent on airline tickets purchased directly from the airline, as well as local transit. Plus, extended benefits like auto rental coverage, extended warranty protection and travel assistance allow you to focus on what matters this season: making memories, not managing mishaps.
Turn Holiday Stays into Future Getaways
Your holiday hotel stay can help offset future excursions and reach elite status, too. With the credit card, cardmembers can earn up to 9X Bonus Points total per eligible $1 spent on qualifying purchases at more than 1,450 hotels and resorts around the world, including participating restaurants and spas. Points can then be redeemed for upgraded accommodations and free nights in standard rooms at hotels like The Venetian Resort Las Vegas for a winter escape or Grand Hyatt Vail for a ski-in, ski-out getaway for the whole family.
Give Yourself the Gift of Future Travel
Holiday shopping doesn’t have to be all about giving. As you check off wish lists for family and friends, every purchase made with the credit card can bring you closer to your own dream getaway by earning Bonus Points on everyday spending. Plus, receive one free night at any Category 1–4 hotel each year after your cardmember anniversary, including beachfront destinations like Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort.
