I'm crossing my fingers that the June announcement is a credit card. If it is, even at half a point per dollar, I will move my spending to it from my Southwest card.
A Hyatt credit card is one of the least favorite topic of most Hyatt loyalists but IMHO Hyatt will probably introduce one sooner or later to bring in $ like Starwood, Hilton, IC, Marriott, etc. etc. (What it will do to the program is another discussion!) How long can they hold out to the alure of cash in an economy like this? At 0.5 points per $1 I however do not think it will be widely used. Some of us get 0.6 points per $1 currently with Diners Club transfers. (If you don't have a Diners Card......don't get too excited since Diners is no longer taking new applications since the end of last year. Not sure why!
