World of Hyatt Credit Card benefit details and notes


Anniversary Free Night Award (Category 1-4)
  • Issued 10 weeks after cardmember anniversary date
  • Expires 1 year after issuance
  • Ineligible for use with Club Lounge Access Awards and Complimentary Suite Upgrade Awards
Additional Free Night Award (Category 1-4) with $15k spend
  • The spend counter for this benefit tracks total cumulative purchases during the current calendar year (excluding $95 annual fee and any other non-qualifying transactions).
  • The spend counter for this benefit resets at the beginning of every calendar year. Chase does not make this spend counter visible to customers, so interested customers must calculate their own. Note that this is a separate spend counter from the "Two Additional Night Credits" spend counter below.
  • Issued 1-2 days after statement closing date of the triggering transaction (the transaction causing the spend counter to cross $15k)
  • Expires 1 year after issuance
  • Ineligible for use with Club Lounge Access Awards and Complimentary Suite Upgrade Awards
  • Cardmembers are eligible for only 1 Additional Free Night Award per calendar year (e.g., spending $30k does not result in two Additional Free Night Awards
Two Additional Night Credits with every $5k spend
  • The spend counter for this benefit tracks total cumulative purchases since account opening (excluding $95 annual fee and any other non-qualifying transactions)
  • This spend counter never resets. Chase does not make this spend counter visible to customers, so interested customers must calculate their own. Note that this is a separate spend counter from the "Additional Free Night Award" spend counter above.
  • Issued 1-2 days after statement closing date of the triggering transaction (the transaction causing the spend counter to cross a multiple of $5k)
  • For World of Hyatt status qualification purposes, the night credits are associated with the TRANSACTION date of the triggering transaction, not the posting date and not the statement closing date. For example, triggering transactions on 12/31/2022 (transaction date) will result in 2 night credits for the 2022 status year, regardless of posting date or statement closing date. Based on FT reports, transaction date appears to be based on the US Eastern Time Zone.
  • World of Hyatt Credit Card: timing for $5k spend 2 qualifying nights
Other Benefits
  • 4 Bonus Points per $1 spent on purchases at Hyatt hotels
  • 2 Bonus Points per $1 spent on restaurants, airline tickets purchased directly from the airline, local transit and commuting, and fitness club and gym memberships
  • 1 Bonus Point per $1 spent on all other purchases
  • Discoverist status every year
  • 5 qualifying night credits every year
  • No foreign transaction fees
  • Travel & purchase coverage

Other notes and tips


Chase spending tracker
  • The Chase spending tracker is useful for calculating your spend counter for the $15k Additional Free Night Award and your spend counter for the Two Additional Night Credits
  • Chase mobile app: "View all transactions", then switch to the "Spending Summary" tab
  • Chase website: From the main page, on the right hand side, click the "Spending & Budgeting" menu, then choose "Spending Summary"
  • Remember to add spend from prior calendar year(s) as needed (see spend counter notes above), and to subtract $95 annual fee and any other non-qualifying transactions from all years
  • Full list of non-qualifying transactions: returns, refunds, balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee

Another update on delivery timing...

I called today to see if the Hyatt verification had occurred yet. It has not. But the representative did say that she would try to process a manual expediting request. This time "it worked" and the card will be sent overnight. Once printed. Allegedly. I'll report back on how well this actually works. She predicted Wednesday for delivery.

These just aren't premium cards.

Spend $450 on a Reserve and ask for it to be overnighted, and you've got a chance.

For a $95 Hyatt card? No can do.

They can and have overnighted non-Reserve cards depending on your spend level.

Dollars to donuts you can get CSP at $95 expedited as well, it has nothing to do with being 'premium' or spend level. IIRC the Hyatt card is the only one I've been unable to have expedited from Chase.

What is the trick?

Fingers crossed. I'm ending stay at a hotel and would love to be able to use this card.

Thanks for the data point.

Some co-branded cards, like Marriott and Ritz, are handled in house by Chase and can be expedited more easily. Hyatt is not like that. Of course, the Hyatt card could still be expedited, if you knew to ask for expediting the moment it got verified, before it got printed & shipped. Look around the internet, there are stories of people who called Chase every single day to pull that off.

My Timeline

6/28 - Applied for card online and approved
7/5 - Received email confirmation that card was in mail
7/10 - Received card in mail

I missed two Hyatt stays last week and moved another reservation to Marriott last weekend while the card was in transit. At least I have it in time for my next stay on Thursday.

p.s. It works with ApplePay.

I'm not sure if Chase would do this- when my wallet was stolen in NZ a few years back I called Amex and they provided payment info to the Westin I was checking in to (it was an SPG Amex).

Trying to compare two options:
1. Upgrade my existing card (which I've had for years) to the new WoH card, or
2. Cancel my existing card, then apply for new card (to get the bonuses).

I'm leaning toward option 2. Would enjoy hearing from others who faced the same choice and who chose option 2.

I'm thinking it's best to wait for a timeframe when I'm not staying at Hyatt for several weeks.

#2 all the way. That's what I have done. Cancelled last week now waiting for 3-4 weeks and will then apply and snag the 60K points after spend. Super fantastic.

Does anyone know for sure if they can/can't use the old card after a straight up 'product switch'? I am thinking since the account number doesn't change, the old card should work until the new card is activated.

I made a reservation a couple days ago with my old card post-product-switch on Hyatt.com, no problem -- later today I will give to them on check-in for the 'authorization hold'. I'll report if my assumption is wrong.

For sure, you can use the old card still. I had been until I received my new one.

I'd guess that, even so, I can still use my old one.

No activation was necessary for my new one.

Edit: Do have 30k of available credit across those 2 personal cards so hopefully I'll just need to shift some credit around. We'll see.
So, applied on July 5th after cancelling Hyatt Visa on June 29th. My statement date for the old Hyatt was on July 8th. Still getting "30 day" message on the automated line and have a hard pull on my credit file from Chase. Recon rep was not able to give me any additional information.

Thoughts?
