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
- 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
- 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
- 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

I received an e-mail from Hyatt advertising up to 50K points for referrals, 10K points a pop. I am going to try to refer myself when I am ready to reapply.

FYI I have had the Hyatt card for 8 years. Cancelled it on 8/3 and paid it off. My closing date was 8/11 and I applied for the new one on 8/12. Didn't get automatic approval, but screen said that they were looking further into my application. Called the Reconsideration line the next day. They just needed to move some of my credit from another Chase card to this one and then I got approved. Said I should receive it in 5 - 10 working days.

To add to this DP: Cancelled old Hyatt Card 6/30. Applied for new card 7/3. Received Card 7/16. Ready to charge rent and gym with it and ensure Globalist requalification for next year and beyond!

Another DP.
Applied July 6th with instant approval. Qualifying nights posted July 10th. Received my card July 16th.
It's quite disappointing that this card is plastic, like some users have already pointed out. Wonder why this card is plastic while my Marriott Premier Plus is metal.

I registered for the 10% points promotion, which is perfectly timed ahead of a trip in mid-August. However, I'm also planning to cancel my old Hyatt CC and apply for the new one at some point over the next month or so. Will that process, changing CC numbers, etc. somehow impact eligibility for the promotion? Or should my WoH account now show that I'm registered and qualify for the redemption automatically?

When does the Discoverist status post once the account is opened? Is it necessary to call Hyatt to get the status amended?
