This version of the Hyatt card (with its 2 free nights offer) has been discontinued as of June 29, 2017.
There is a new version.

What are the benefits of the card?
- 3 points/dollar spent at Hyatt
- 2 points per dollar spent at restaurants, airfare, car rental
- 1 point for all other charges
- No foreign exchange fee
- Annually, on renewal, one free night at up to a category 4 hotel and is valid for 12 months
Typically a day or two after the close of the billing cycle in which you reach spend threshold.
When do the signup points from this card offer expire?If you have no activity on your Hyatt account for 24 months your points will expire.
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward.
It's a Chase Card. Does that mean that if I have more than 5 new open lines of credit in 24 months, I will be automatically denied? This card is not currently under the 5 cards in 24 months Chase application restriction.
It looks like the Hyatt website will let me use my anniversary category 1-4 cert for any property, including those above category 4. Is this for real?No. Even if the system accepts your attempted reservation, the property will not honor the cert at check-in. Accept the fact that your cat 4 cert is just that.
Can I use my anniversary category 1-4 cert at a higher-category property with a cash co-pay? By paying the difference in points? By asking nicely?No. No. No.
Can I use my annual free night cert for a suite or Club-level room, possibly with a cash or point copay?Officially, no. But there's no harm in contacting an individual property directly to see what they're willing to do.
If I close my card account, do I lose any unused points or annual free-night certificate?No. Unused points already in your Hyatt account as well as the annual free-night award remain available in your Hyatt account regardless of the status of your Chase card.
Questions related to the (now expired) 2 Free Night card offer:
When do the signup bonus free-night awards for this card expire?
The awards expire one year from the date of deposit (typically the date on which the required spend is met, which may fall in the middle of a billing cycle). All stays must be completed by the expiration date.
When I view my free-night awards, why is the button to start the redemption/booking process missing?You no longer need to go through the My Awards page to book a free-night cert. Simply start the booking process as if requesting an award stay using points.
When I try to book a multiple-night award stay, why does the Hyatt website show availability for points redemptions but not for Free Night Awards?You will need to redeem the free-night certs one at a time in separate single-night reservations if you want to do it online. For example, if you want to book the Park Hyatt Sydney for December 14-16, you will book the night of the 14th to 15th as one stay, and then repeat the process for the night of the 15th to 16th. Otherwise, call Hyatt to make the booking.
If I can't use my free-night award by the expiration date, can I exchange it for points or get the expiration extended?According to the FT Hyatt GP Concierge, as of January 22, 2016, there are 2 options for compensation for the initial (all-category) Free Night Awards: These policies will reportedly remain in effect after the March 1, 2017 transition from Hyatt Gold Passport to the new World of Hyatt program.
Anniversary Awards valid in Category 1-4 hotels are not eligible for extension. (This is the opposite of the old rule, which allowed a one-time 30-day extension.)
Can I use the sign-up free night cert for a suite or Club-level room, possibly with a cash or point copay?- Platinum guests: Hyatt offers 10,000 points per Award if the Member has had 5 eligible stays or 15 eligible nights in the previous 12 months. The 10,000 points per award exchange can only be done after the award night has expired. (This is the opposite of the old rule, which required the award to be unexpired.) Members have up to 90 days beyond the expiration of the unused award night to exchange for points.
- Diamond guests: Hyatt offers 20,000 points per Award if the Member has achieved Diamond status by achieving 25 stays or 50 nights or completing a trial tier offer within the last 12 months. The 20,000 points per award exchange can only be done after the award night has expired. (This is the opposite of the old rule, which required the award to be unexpired.) Members have up to 90 days beyond the expiration of the unused award night to exchange for points.
Anniversary Awards valid in Category 1-4 hotels are not eligible for extension. (This is the opposite of the old rule, which allowed a one-time 30-day extension.)
Officially, no. But there's no harm in contacting an individual property directly to see what they're willing to do.
If I close my card account, do I lose any unused free-night certificates?No. Unused free-night awards remain available in your Hyatt account regardless of the status of your Chase card.

Hyatt 2 free nights without cardholder
My husband has the Hyatt Visa 2 free nights and I will add UR points to his account to make a total of 4 nights. Between the airfare and his work schedule, he'd rather skip the trip and I go with just the kids.
Does Hyatt strongly enforce that the cardholder has to be there?

Question transferred to the Gold Passport forum because the question pertains to a benefit administered by Hyatt.

I assume if it is on there, then you probably can as long as you have that card.
Anyone know who has an authorized user on your Hyatt account?

My authorized user's card does not have a HGP number below the name (my primary cardholder card does).
My SO normally arrives at the Hyatt property before me. The only time they require for me to "check-in" when I arrive is at destinations that the hotel requires a copy of my passport.

I booked a room (using my Hyatt card) for a friend of mine and his wife over the phone and told Hyatt that I won't be staying there. Hyatt sent me a credit card authorization form to fill out and fax back to them for the charge and any incidentals that may arise from the stay (ie movie rentals, room service, etc.--but you can request nothing BUT the room be charged on the card). Here's the form they will want you to fill out if you want to get a head start

Unfortunately, you can not receive points for the stay!

Thank you for the responses. I knew he could use his points for me but wasn't sure about the 2 night credit card award. I'm going to tread lightly...

Hope this hasn't already been asked (I searched, nothing came up): After spending $20,000, does the 2 stay / 5 night credit post along with the credit card points once the billing statement closes? Or can it potentially take another billing cycle? (Trying to plan out my spend but not cut it too close to the end of the year).

Chase hyatt card-No longer offering 2 Free Nights in a suite for diamond members?
I noticed that all of the current offers for chase hyatt visa credit cards have been revised.
No annual fees for the first yr.
2 Free nights in a standard room ( no longer offering 2 free nights+2 suite upgrade for plat / 2 free nights in a suite for diamond)
50dollar statement credit is offered if you apply from the the last page of booking page from hyatt.com
Has anyone found any other links out there that offer differential offers for different tier members?

Card offer changed
I just got of the phone for Hyatt asking about suite availability in case I applied for the Chase Hyatt card with my Diamond status and he said that the offer for 2 free nights in a suite ended on September 12th. I really hope that isn't the case or there is another link out there...
