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

So I have been approved for the card (but did have to move credit line from another account which was no big deal. So it's now been three days since the approval and despite being told by the rep that the account is approved, as well as the automated system confirmed that I am approved, as well as the credit limit on the donor card for the credit line being reduced I still do not see the new account in my chase online login? Should I be concerned?

I think you're right. Just appeared this afternoon about 3 days later. I don't really ever having to wait for other co-branded Chase cards (IHG/Marriott or even the old Hyatt card but maybe they have changed something on their back end).

You can apply as many times as you wish.
I applied a total of 8 times. #1 and #2 were rejected due to the fact that I already had a Hyatt credit card (even though I had cancelled it). I called Chase and was told that my account was cancelled, so go ahead and apply again ... which I did ... and which they immediately rejected. Application #3 is the one which eventually went through. Applications #4 thru 8 were rejected because they were "duplicate" applications.
They need you to close your existing Hyatt credit card account . Then wait until a statement cycle hits which shows that you have a zero balance. (You can change your statement date to an earlier date, if you wish). Then wait another 5 days or so. IME, that's the exact moment when they stop claiming that you already have a Hyatt CC. Not one minute sooner.

They told me I needed to wait 5 days after my closing date (of August 16). I asked them to change my closing date to August 1. They did, and my application of August 7 was the one which ended up being accepted. Previous applications were rejected because I already had a Hyatt credit card.

Correct. If you already have a Hyatt Credit Card, all of the following must occur so that you can qualify as someone who does NOT have a Hyatt CC:
- cancel your card.
- pay it off to a zero balance
- A statement must run showing a zero balance. (you can make this step happen sooner, by changing your statement closing date to an earlier date.)
- wait another 5 days after the zero-balance statement.
After all of the above (and not one minute sooner), their system will stop saying that you already have an existing Hyatt credit card.
- cancel your card.
- pay it off to a zero balance
- A statement must run showing a zero balance. (you can make this step happen sooner, by changing your statement closing date to an earlier date.)
- wait another 5 days after the zero-balance statement.

In mid-August, TSMRSRNE upgraded her Hyatt card ($75 AF) to the new card ($95 AF). On her August statement, she received a prorated refund of the old card's AF.
ANNUAL FEE REFUND -43.75
OK. Fine. Next, she should have been billed $95 for her new AF. However, a credit in that amount appeared on 8/30/2018.
ANNUAL FEE REFUND -95.00
Looks like Chase made a mistake, right?
