Which credit card to use to pay maintenance fees?

Which credit card would get the most World of Hyatt points when paying your Hyatt Vacation Club maintenance fees? What is the ratio? Thanks!

It's 4 WOH points / $ with the Hyatt credit card. Last year with the website upgrade, there was an issue but it was eventually resolved. Already paid MF for one contract this month, and I can confirm it coded correctly / earned 4 WOH points / $ on my recent statement.

Thanks for responding. Some follow up questions so I'm sure I understand:

1) Is the Hyatt credit card you are talking about the World of Hyatt card put out by Chase?
2) Can you confirm that you paid your Hyatt Vacation Club (formerly Welk) maintenance fees or did you pay your Hyatt Residence Club maintenance fees and got the 4X?
3) The ad I am looking at shows "Earn 4 Bonus Points per $1 spent on qualifying purchases at Hyatt hotels and resorts*" and "Plus up to 5 Base Points from Hyatt per eligible $1 spent for being a World of Hyatt member". So do you not get both when paying maintenance fees?

1. Yes. 2. HVC Legacy (formerly HRC). 3. The 5 base points do not apply when paying MF. These 5 base points are for qualifying stays and eligible charges at Hyatt affiliated hotels (eg generally booked through Hyatt.com), when charged to the folio. It’s an incorrect ad b/c the card also gives you automatic Discoverist status, which technically means you are earning at least 5.5 WOH points/$ at affiliated hotels (so 9.5 total with the card).
