There are a number of ways to get Hyatt category 1-4 certificates. The World of Hyatt card offers a category 1-4 cert each year upon renewal and again when you spend $15K within a calendar year. Additionally, Hyatt offers cat 1-4 certs as Brand Explorer rewards (when you’ve stayed at 5 different brands); as a Milestone Reward (when you earn 30 elite qualifying nights within a calendar year); and sometimes as rewards for miscellaneous promotions.
