Hyatt Card Benefits
 

shbl,

You will receive automatic Platinum tier status, as long as the Hyatt Card remains active. However, you will not receive the stay/night credit that one would normally have to complete in order to receive Platinum.

The 2 free suite nights are for Diamond members, so I don't think you missed out on anything by applying for the card early.

Yes, but it was later clarified that Plats would receive 2 free suite upgrades (like the ones we Diamonds receive each year!;))^

I guess Chase is promoting the two free nights at any Hyatt in the world upon first purchase as their bonus. For some, I think that will be like a bonus; for others, maybe not. I couldn't find any information on expiration for these free night redemptions though...

Check your email and spam folder -- Crack the Case is a targeted promo. Plus, see the extensive thread.

I feel like I missed somethign here. "2 free suite nights are for diamond members"

If I look at the credit card description page on hyatt.com they only reference 2 free standard nights. Is there some different offer of 2 suite nights for us diamonds that I am not seeing?

Yes. The Hyatt Gold Points rep talks about diamond members benefits in the earlier thread.

Yes, for Diamonds the two free nights that come with the card are in suites. It's been posted several times by Hyatt reps in the other credit card thread.

The following posts (nos. 249, 250, 251) confirms that platinum members will receive 2 free suite upgrades (diamonds get 2 free suites, gold gets standard rooms) at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt...l#post14587327.

Feels like the Plat deal is better than the Diamond's. I guess we'll have to wait to see all the details. I'll be losing my Diamond status next year. Would have been nice to have the upgrades instead...

Has anyone actually received the card yet?

Just a quick update, I logged in to Chase today and saw that one of my accounts has closed but no sign of the Hyatt card account number yet. Will keep you guys updated.

I still haven't received my card yet after receiving a "you've been approved email" early this week which said I should receive my card via UPS overnight by now (which is unfortunate since I leave this weekend for a week at various Hyatt's and it looks like it won't arrive before I leave).

But as of last night the following info automatically appeared on my existing chase.com account where I have a savings & checking account:

CREDIT CARD (...[DELETED]) HYATT
Account Summary YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME

Outstanding balance† $0.00 See activity
Payment due date 11/02/2010 See statement
Minimum payment due $0.00 Pay credit card
Balance last statement $0.00
Available credit† [DELETED] Transfer balances
Total credit limit† [DELETED]

The actual credit limit is listed on the page and was a similar limit to what SPG's AMEX gave me. All the links seem to be pretty standard info - no new special offers and nothing of note.

Yep, they closed my Chase Freedom and the previous credit limit of $XX,XXX is now down to $100 :D

I did tell them to move over all limits from Freedom to the new Hyatt card. Let's see if they actually do it.

In my experience, the $100 limit is an interim step towards closure of the account, i.e., in a few weeks or so it will disappear completely.
