It looks like Hyatt credit card will be launched sometimes later this year according to this FT thread, it will be a MasterCard for sure considering Hyatt had many promotions sponsored by them.
Currently, there are 9 versions credit cards in the survey, but all of them offers the following benefits:
1 3 Confirmed Suite upgrades on both paid AND award stays
2 Signup bonus on most cards was either 2 Free Hyatt Nights at any Hyatt worldwide or else 1k GP pts every EVERY Hyatt stay you’ve made in the past 2 years. That last part was interesting as it would give me over 100k GP pts for signing up for this card!!!!
3 Either 3 or 5 pts per $ spent on Hyatt stays.
4 Airline lounge pass for your trip every time you redeem an award stay at a Hyatt. I wonder how they work this one out?
Also includes, free internet, BF, resort fee, diamond by spending!
If above benefits become true, it will be the most generous credit card ever!

Sometime last year, I purchased 6 Avis $50 giftcard from local Drug store and it turned out to be the worst gift card ever designed!!
1 You have to use Avis.com/Giftcard to book ur reservation
2 you can only use 1 card for each rental
3 No residual will be given, so your rental amount has to be greater than gift card face amount!
4 If you want to cancel giftcard reservation, u have to wait 24 hours before making a new one with this gift card.
5 Sometimes the value doesn’t go back automatically, then a nightmare starts. When u call the CSR number on the back of the card, they have no clue what u r talking about. I had 4 gift cards value did not go back automatically, it took me more than 15 phone calls to finally get a number for Corporate office. Then, a lady in Corporate office was able to reinstate the card.
Not worth the trouble!
