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

- 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

No, it gets updated automatically once Hyatt is notified by Chase of the card approval. Usually 3-4 business days after approval. At the same time you get the five nights credited

Yeah, that did not occur. I called this morning and was told the minimum spend had to be met first. That is incorrect. I called back and was told that it could take 4-5 weeks to update. I guess I'll check back again in a few more days.

I received an email yesterday, about 5 days after my online approval saying I had Discoverist status and was credited with the 5 nights. I have not yet received my card.
Update: I just received the following email from Chase (7/17/18):
Dear Dan,
We wanted to let you know that we mailed you a new credit card yesterday, and it should arrive in 3-5 business days. For security purposes, it will be in a plain, unmarked envelope.
Once you receive your card, please visit chase.com/verifycard to confirm that you got it. While you're there, you can also manage your account and personalize your alerts.1
Don't remember why you would be getting a card from us? Here are some reasons:
- Your current card is about to expire
- You were approved for a new account
- You accepted an offer to upgrade to a different rewards program
- You reported your card as lost or stolen, or requested a new card
- We are sending you a new card with updated features or benefits
Thank you for choosing Chase.
Sincerely,
Cardmember Services

I’m curious about folks who had no balance to pay off and had the legacy Hyatt CC: when was your cancelation and new application relative to your normal billing cycle? I canceled 7/16 with $0 balance, but my billing cycle ends 8/12. I’ve had the legacy Hyatt CC since 2014. I wonder when the best time to submit my application might be, especially because I’m over 5/24. Thanks.

I have a corporate offer for fast track to Globalist with 20 nights stayed over 90 days. Any ideas if the 5 days will count towards this? Who can I ask to get an official answer?

For those that upgraded from the old Hyatt card, have you received the 2,000 hyatt points? My statement just closed and theres no points on there at all. Has anyone else seen those yet? My 5 nights posted just fine about 10 days ago. Thanks

I upgraded on the first day and I have had a statement cut since holding the new card.
