Quick thoughts

There are three key things to note here:

Based on the wording in the terms and conditions, it looks like the $500 spending target does not need to be met in one transaction. Multiple transactions that add up to $500 or more will end up triggering the statement credit.
Keep in mind that only spending with properties in Canada (and nowhere else) will trigger the statement credit.
Make sure you book directly with Hyatt or an individual property – bookings through 3rd party channels will not count.

Overall, the best Amex card to use with this offer will probably be the card_name which returns 3 points/dollar on travel spending (terms apply), but as that’s a card that I do not (yet) hold, I’m going to have to make do with adding it to card_name which will earn me just 1 point/dollar (terms apply).

Ordinarily and in the absence a card that will earn me a category spending bonus, I would use the card_name for an offer such as this one (it earns me 2 points/dollar on the first $50,000 of spending every year and 1 point/dollar thereafter – terms apply), but as this card charges foreign transaction fees and as I suspect I would be charged in Canadian Dollars by a Hyatt property in Canada, I’m going to have to settle for using card_name.

Bottom line

American Express is currently targeting some cardholders for a $100 saving when they spend $500 or more (in one or more transaction) at Hyatt properties in Canada. Based on how many of my Amex cards are showing this offer this doesn’t appear to be a narrowly targeted deal, so if you have an upcoming stay at an eligible Hyatt property, make sure you check your Amex offers before you decide which card to use at check-out.

One Of The Best Amex Cards Around

The card_name offers the best earnings rates for spending at US supermarkets and on dining out of any American Express Membership Rewards card, and it offers cardholders the opportunity to earn a variety of statement credits which can help offset the annual_fees annual fee (rates & fees).
