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

Congrats, I think it is rare to get both offers; none of my other cards (IHG, UA, Marriott) that qualified for April-June got this new offer. But since they are all getting 5X on any spend up to $1500, it’s not clear to me how Chase would handle the overlapping promo anyway.

1. you weren’t force-upgraded to the WoH card in January like everyone else?
2. I was force-upgraded, but kept the annual fee for another year. Posted on 3/1, and my annual free night posted 4/23. It appears, from posts in the main WoH card thread, that the WoH card free nights take longer to post.

Based on your dates, looks like I'll get the free night posted on 6/23. I guess the delayed free night with this card explains why I haven't gotten it yet, whereas I got it sooner in years past.

Just received this myself. While appreciative of the offer because I have a couple stays coming up, the 3 extra points only apply to the first $1,500 in spend. So effectively 4,500 point bonus. Nice, and I'll take it. Chase seems to have lower maximum thresholds than AMEX.

I don't think they want it to be too lucrative.

I got this offer on both Hyatt (5 total bonus points on gas and other travel) and Marriott (10 total bonus points) for the May-Aug. Bummer as I don't have any travel plans during this time (traveled 1 week before the start and will travel 3 days after the end). Oh well, gas stations here I come!

Bosman, I also got those offers on both Hyatt & Marriott! Too bad on the timing, but remember that the Travel category includes taxis/Lyft/ Uber, rental cars, road tolls, public transit bought directly from the transit authority.
Probably no help to you, but I like that competing hotels are probably also included in Travel, as they are on the Sapphire cards! So maybe you can prepay some hotels of your August vacation !

I have a question about the Hyatt elite nights for those with more expertise/experience with this card. On my last statement a couple of days ago I passed $15k in spend on the card. I was under $5k spend before that so if my understanding is correct I should've received 6 elite nights (and the free night certificate also). About a day after the statement posted, 4 elite night credits hit my account, but I am still waiting for the other 2 and the free night certificate. I guess my question is whether this is normal and the 2 nights + certificate will come in soon or whether I need to call (Chase or Hyatt?). As an additional detail, I know that my spend is over $15k based on the meter related to the card bonus that you can see when accessing the account through the Chase app. Thanks.
