It has a $65 annual fee, but with AMEX Offers I recoup that fee easily. The Cat. 3 and 4 properties may not be as high end as Hyatt but you'd have another Chase card if you apply for the Hyatt CC.
I haven't looked into the Nights & Flights packages yet! Thank you for that info. The SPG is looking more and more appealing but I think my best bet is to wait for the maximum bonus offer when I sign up for it.
