J rad- think for the Hyatt one, you need to book your 2 nights within a year . this is the reason I didn't apply for this...will wait a bit till I need it for Paris.
Weary of Barclay's habit of offering their top-tier cards with high sign-up bonuses but often approving for the lower-tier card with just 5K bonus. I'm pretty sure I'd have no problems qualifying for the top card (FICO in high 700s) but still... certainly not my top choice. But I may save it for later this month and apply for a hit in US Grand Slam.

The others I forgot to mention are the Chase Priority Club VISA for 60K/80K and possibly the Hyatt one (keep getting offers for it in my email).
