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

I had the old Hyatt credit card for 3 years. I canceled the card 5 days ago. When I applied for the new card I got the message that I would receive a response in the mail within 30 days. Has anyone else received this response? I have 5 days of Hyatt stays within the next 2 weeks that I really wanted to be able to use the new card.

Cancelled my old Hyatt Card on Saturday. Currently at 7/24 if you count a chase business card (with it becoming 6/24 come August - 2 years of CSR!). Applied today and got Instant Approval, plus my highest credit line with chase.

It's easy to find out when you received your two free nights. If you look on your “my account” after logging into Hyatt online, you’ll see a tab called “past history”. You can keep scrolling down (probably have to click “View More Transactions” a few times) until you see the date you USED your free nights. If you click on the “+” you will see where it says when the award was ISSUED.
Issued June 30, 2016 so I should be good to go. After I cancel, how long should I wait to apply?
My last credit card applied was March 12, 2018 for the Marriot Biz card.
Also, I am over the 5/24. Is data still showing it doesn't count for the 5/24?
I attached my free anniversary CAT 1 to 4 certificate issued 4/11/18 for a free stay in October 2018. Do I lose this or will it be kept intact when I cancel my Hyatt card?

So I did a product change on 6/29. My AF for the old card was going to post July 1. They told me my old AF would not post July 1 if I product change and I would get the new $95 AF within 1-3 cycles. On July 1 my old $75 AF posted. Any chance Ill luck out with a $75 AF instead of the $95?

Has anyone asked about expediting this card? Seriously considering getting this, but I leave on 7/9 for almost 3 weeks with 14 nights in Hyatts. Mixture of Points and P+C so I'd love to put all ancillary spend on the card at 4x plus counting towards min spend

I called today about expediting and the lady I spoke to tried several options, but said "it was not allowing her" to expedite the shipment. The approval from Chase said 7-10 days. She was able to get that to 3-5 days by using a different method, although its still USPS. With tomorrow being a US holiday, I guess we'll see how well that works.
I'm curious to know when my status will update, too.

Called Chase (without applying) about the possibility of expediting. According to them, they can't expedite partner cards which means 7-10 business days which won't work for me. Too bad as my expenditures would have mostly satisfied the min spend (P&C at HR Jeju, Flights+Food at PH Maldives). I guess it will all go on the CSR.

Any suggestions on how long to wait between canceling the old product and applying for the new one? The phone rep said 45 days but that seems excessive- I was hoping to get the product in the next week.
