Comparison brief
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless vs. World of Hyatt
Both hotel co-brand cards charge an identical $95 annual fee, but they earn in nearly opposite shapes. Marriott Bonvoy Boundless pays a strong 2x on everything by default and 3x on groceries, gas, and dining up to a shared $6,000/year cap; World of Hyatt pays a plain 1x by default but adds an uncapped 2x on dining, flights, transit, and gym memberships. Which wins depends less on hotel loyalty than on how your everyday spend is shaped.

These cards earn different reward currencies, so no highest rate is labeled; a larger multiplier does not necessarily mean more value. Listed rates can still be subject to portal, spending-cap, or category-selection rules; review each card's details before deciding.
