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

Question: my closing date in January 7. I have $500 USD left to hit $5000 so I get two night credit. I'd like the 2 night credit to count for 2020 status.
If I spend the $500 between January 1 and 7, will that get counted for 2019 status since it is mostly in 2019 year? Or will it count for 2020? Trying to decide if I should use card for a Hyatt stay currently or just skip until after 7th. Thanks

If you spent $4,500 in December and have $500 left to spend to complete the 5k you may get lucky and have it post to 2019 since 90% of the spend was in 2019.

I called Chase. They told me spend from 12/31 and before even if monthly balances closes on January 7 would go to 2019 spend (and thus 2 free nights) but that anything spent from Jan 1 to 7 would count for 2020 and this 2020 2 night credit. I hope that's true as I'd like the nights for 2020 and would like to use card for a current Hyatt stay

From personal experience, if you spend $4,500 on December and then $500 in January you will get 2 night credits for 2020. At least thats what happened to me last year

That is what I understood happened last year. There were rumors of CSRs giving other information earlier in the year, but the quoted poster's interaction seems recent and wasn't clear what happens to 2019 roll-over spend, just that 2019 spend that qualifies for elite nights goes to 2019.

sorry for being unclear. Yes, rollover.
In my specific case I have $24, 500 USD spent last few months of 2019 as I just got card and pushed for Globalist re qualification. I hit 60 nights and stopped.
I thus have $500 USD left to reach $5k for another 2 nights. I am at a Hyatt now and would like to pay for stay with card and thus get 2 nights credited for 2020 re qualification. I checked in Jan 2 and will check out Jan 5. My statement closes Jan 7.
Agent on phone says there is roll over and my Jan spend would mean I would cross 5k and thus get nights credited for 2020. hopefully he is right.
Incidentally the free night after $15, 000 spend is based on card member year not calendar and not every 15k. I was hoping to get another night for hitting 30k but I won't. I was also told that any spend before my anniversary start which will be in a few months won't count for new 15k. So this card will go back in the drawer until after my anniversary starts in a few months.

I’d just like to say that blindly believing whatever a Chase rep tells you is a recipe for disappointment. They give out wrong advice and info all the time.

Do you have experience on earning credit that is different from what Chase rep told me? I'm still looking for a blind person here
