No, the wiki is correct but doesn't make clear that the extra night at 15k is on cardmember year not calendar. So if you got the card in 2018, you need to look at last year's spending too on the chase website.

that seems to make sense .. and I got the 15k spend/free night email as well.

Thanks,

I've kept a running total of my credit card spend since getting it last year. I recieved one free nights when the Jan bill closed, and just hit 15k again this last statement (on the 24th), and I still haven't received the free night. I did receive the stay credits almost immediately.

I didn't pay attention the last time I got them. How long does it take?

I'm a bit confused by your post. I assume that you haven't had a cardmember anniversary yet? You don't get a free night every time you spend 15k. You get one per cardmember (not calendar) year, if you spend 15k or more that year. So after your anniversary, if you spend another 15k in the following year, you will get another one.

The elite qual nights are 2 per $5k with no limit, though. So you will keep getting those.

Just have to say, I love this card. So much better than the newish Marriott cards.

Got it... I have spent $30k since getting the card and have not yet hit my cardmember anniversary.

No, I changed the date on mine to match the other Chase cards so I pay them all on the same day. My dates have never changed on any of them.

With the new WoH card, your statement close date will only affect when the nights post to Hyatt, but not which year the nights count toward. With 2018 as the only data point we have, all spending that occurred in 2018 counted to 2018 qualifying nights, regardless of whether it was after your Dec statement closed. So if your Dec statement closes early, you still have until the 31st to spend for qualifying nights. From the other perspective, don't spend after your Dec statement closes expecting it to count toward the next year's qualifying.

just had my first billing cycle close , spent $10k ... should I expect to need to wait 60 days for the 4 elite nights to post to hyatt ? my signup bonus posted same day of billing close

Updated:
I counted , they credited me for 2 spend related nights, instead of 4 ... I'm guessing they counted some on my spend as pre-conversion from the previous Chase Hyatt card, so I'll need to make up a bit for next statement

Likely not - should only be a few days IME (brand new card opener who had 2 nights post shortly after first closing date this month)

How long does it take for referral points from Chase to show up from the time the person referred is approved??

A day or two after the next statement closes.

When (if ever) does the 5K for 2 elite night spending counter reset? i.e., how far back do I need to look to determine how close I am to the next $5K threshold?
