"Easy answer for you: get both cards. Both pay for themselves and then some."

It depends if I can be approved for both automatically . With the rumored 5/24 coming in April (hoping it is the end of April), not sure if I apply for the Marriott today, I will be approved for the Hyatt just b4 the cut off date in April. I am concern about the number of inquires which is 6 presently.

I won't be able to use the 2 free hyatt nights till at least mid june 2017.
