The Chase Sapphire Preferred card currently offers a 50,000 point sign up bonus for spending $3000 within the first three months. If you can meet that spend, those points could be transferred to certain hotel chain programs, including Hyatt, for potential redemption for even more than two nights. (Hyatt's top tier hotels are 22,000 points per night.) This card is $95 a year, first year fee waived.

I would be sure to research the locations if you pick a card for a particular chain. I got that Hyatt card with a trip to Spain or Amsterdam in mind, only to discover later Hyatt has no hotels in either place!
Ack! I've received 3 chase cards in the last 60 days, no way they're going to be ok with a fourth... I'll look instead for Citibank or BofA or something.
