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.

I got the same email. Haven't gone through the registration process yet. It seems they really want to encourage more use of the Hyatt VISA and get people to carry it in their wallet (it safely lives in my safe).

I signed up for the "Earn Statement Credits for Your Everyday Purchases" but the only thing of value to me was the Lowes offer (with a rather short deadline). This is no problem for me - I go there every few days it seems. But I wonder if I just agreed to share my transaction history with this program just for a 10$ credit.

Yes, Chase and Visa of course know my transaction history. However, I think during registration there was some box for approval of sharing 12 months of my transaction history. There is a website regarding the privacy policy of this offer, and though I admit this is all outside my area of expertise, it appears that this program (like any other program) collects and shares information to provide 'targetted' offers. https://hyatt.visaoffers.com/privacy
I am not exactly a privacy advocate or anything, in fact, I don't mind targetted ads or offers for the most part either, I am just pointing out that I wonder if I just agreed to sell my data to who knows how many entities for just a $10 credit. I want something for information.
(and I do use my Chase Hyatt card for 90% of my purchases currently, as I am still getting better valuations on Hyatt points than I would on my cash back cards).

I received the email and signed up for notifications about 10 days ago. So far, I've received nothing from them. Are you getting e mails, or is this just on the Chase Hyatt Card website ?

The program just started for the Hyatt card. I wouldn't expect new offers would be arriving just yet.

Has anyone still not got the $30 credit from spending $300 at Supermarkets and Groceries. I've written in 3 times, as my last qualifying purchase was 2/17. Last time they said "6-8" weeks from then, this time they say wait another few weeks until my statement closes (which would be the second statement).

What a joke! Who the hell thinks up of this type of bonus promo? I can get 1,000 points per night right now at Hyatt.
