Has anyone who had the old Hyatt CC that cancelled and opened the new card gotten their spend bonus yet? Approaching 1 mo so figuring some spenders have to have some experience now.
Also, I got my FN from my card anniversary in mid April. Haven't redeemed it yet. For those that are close to their anniversary date I can understand waiting til they get the anniversary night. For me, it makes no sense to wait 9 months to forgo the additional benefits. So, my questions are:
1. I presume that if I cancel the old card, the FN in my WOH account is still good and won't be taken away?
2. Will I get a prorated refund on my AF if I cancel? So if my AF was assessed in April, I presume I can get about 75% of that back?
3. Tips on closing my account: I am currently using my CC still pretty actively (staying at Hyatt's weekly). Say I stop spending maybe 1 week before statement close and pay the balance in advance of the statement close (so balance is $0 on last statement). Seems like I can close on statement date and maybe only wait 3-5 days?
