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.

That will be difficult - spring break time at a us resort location. Once you have the nights you can check for yourself , at this property it's the Deluxe King and Deluxe 2 Queen rooms. If it's available for points award nights it should be available for credit card nights. I just checked early and late in March, it does look like its available for points redemption.
Thanks

Anyone know if the $50 statement credit posts right away or does it take awhile?
Edit: Apparently, it takes as much as 2 days according to 1 person and 2 weeks according to T&C.

Someone asked this question a while back and it wasn't answered. Any update? if I cancel the Chase Hyatt card, will my platinum status be good through next February or will Chase/Hyatt take it away?
Posts #1977~1979 discussed this but there seemed to be no definite answer. Any data point will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi, I just recently received my Hyatt Card. Then I received my Hyatt membership card with Platinum status that states: Expires 2/2016
If I cancel my Chase Hyatt card later, will my Platinum status stay until 2/2016 or will it get canceled because I closed my Chase Hyatt card?
Thanks.

Is it possible to take advantage of the 2 free night bonus by applying for a second Hyatt card, with or without canceling your first Hyatt card before the annual fee is due?
I would think not- the promo specifically states it is for "first cardholders only"- but I recently booked my annual free night, and the phone rep asked me if I was interested in applying for "2 free nights" by opening a Hyatt card. He obviously already knew I had one. I asked him if I would qualify since I already had one and he said I would.

Hi, i have a few questions about the sign up bonus
I just met the spending minimum for the nights. Do I have to pay my account off before receiving the 2 night bonus, or will it post once I spend the $1,000?
Also, will the 2 nights appear in my Hyatt account online?
Thanks

With most Chase cards the bonuses don't post until a day or two after your statement closes ( assuming you met your min. spend during that cycle ), but this card seems to be different (see the WIKI).

Thanks, I am going on a trip to Europe before my statement closes and hope to use the reward while I'm in Paris. I met the minimum spend about 5-6 days ago, so hopefully it posts soon.

Is the offer for 2 free nights in a suite for diamond members or 2 DSU certs for existing Plats an offer that comes back periodically or is there very little chance of it coming back? Trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on this card and would be able to put the DSUs to good use this year.
