You need to give it a little thought as to whether like
SanDiego1K and me, you want to get to Globalist status but you will need a boost of qualifying nights to get to 60 nights. If you are just looking for a bunch of bonus points, Chase Ink Business will get you 90K bonus after 8K spend. Personal Sapphire Preferred will get you 60K after $5k spend. Either of these cards will allow you to transfer the points to Hyatt.... or UA for that matter. But neither of these cards gets you extra elite qualifying nights.
The Hyatt personal card gets you 60K points but requires $18K spend in 6months. The extra Cat 1-4 certificate and 2 qualifying nights per $5k spend make it a better choice for me. As many do, I have both Chase Sapphire Preferred, Hyatt Personal and I also have the Hyatt Business card, though I am thinking that might be a waste at this point.
If I was starting from scratch, I might get the Chase Ink Business card to start, then get the Hyatt Personal card. The 90K bonus for the Ink card is pretty good so I would lock that down and then put spend on my Hyatt Personal to get the extra 60K. Then, use the Hyatt personal card for all your stays to maximize point accrual when you stay.
