Hyatt CC Anniversary Free Night
I had signed up for a Hyatt Credit Card last year and my anniversary date is in mid-July. However they already posted a Cat 1-4 Free Night reward (actually a buy one, get the next night free) to my Hyatt account. I was actually thinking of canceling my Hyatt CC before the anniversary date. If I do so, what happens to the free night award sitting in my account? Do they have some way of clawing it back?

This is the first time I've heard of a Hyatt B1G1 award. I don't think this would be the credit card award as it is purely a one night free award. Is it possible this is from something else?

I interpreted that to mean that the free night must be in conjunction with a paid night (hence B1G1 free) - perhaps I misunderstood this? Will be glad to be corrected

9X on hotel spends...I guess this is confirmation that a major points devaluation is coming in the very near future. Other than that, not much here for a 5-10 night/$5k spend per year loser like me. I will stick to my lower AF card, since everything else is the same. Maybe if they had an Explorist card with a cat 5-6 cert at a higher AF, I would bite, but this is an easy pass.
I could be wrong, but I tend to think with all the pieces moving right now, we're at least a year or so from some kind of widespread redoing of point values in WoH (cue me eating my words in a month
)

Spouse has some expiring club access awards. I have an expiring free night. If I book two nights on points in spouse’s account/name and add a club award, is there anyway to extend club to a third cc free night from my account?

Per the T&Cs, club access awards can't be used with a cc free night. If you book a "mixed" reservation, using points and the cc free night, you most likely won't be able to use the club access award. If you book the cc night separately, you may get lucky, but ...

Right! I keep forgetting that they can’t be used with cc night. I’ll do separate rez and ask if they will extend. May end up at a Hyatt Place or Centric instead in which case it wouldn’t matter.
