Alternative: Chase Sapphire Preferred.

Same Hyatt transfer at 1 to 1, but the Preferred earns 3x on travel and dining everywhere else and includes primary rental car coverage for trips outside the city. Better all-around card if you do not have hotel-specific loyalty.

Local tip

What to know before you book.

Taipei has excellent street food markets (Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia) where most vendors are cash-only. Hotel ATM withdrawal fees can add up. Use a no-FTF Schwab or Fidelity debit card if you have one for cash withdrawals, and keep your travel card for hotel and meal charges.
