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
Additional Free Night Award (Category 1-4) with $15k spend
  • 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
Two Additional Night Credits with every $5k spend
  • 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
Other Benefits
  • 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
  • The Chase spending tracker is useful for calculating your spend counter for the $15k Additional Free Night Award and your spend counter for the Two Additional Night Credits
  • Chase mobile app: "View all transactions", then switch to the "Spending Summary" tab
  • 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
  • Full list of non-qualifying transactions: returns, refunds, balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee

Like others, my 5 elite nights posted within about 2-3 days after doing the product change to the new card. I plan on spending my way to Globalist, so I then spent $50K+ in that month's billing period. My statement closed 7/27. It's now 8/6 (10+ days) and the elite nights from spend have not yet posted, whereas the points posted almost immediately (as always). If it truly is 8 weeks before they show up, that would be ridiculous.

Actually, "ridiculous" is being able to get top-level status entirely from spending on a credit card.

Not really. I guess if someone spends $140,000 a year on a single credit card he makes good money and when he is planning his vacations he might be like: hey I have top tier status in this place, I am gonna stay in this Park Hyatt this week instead of on the four season or Ritz I always stay at. And I see no harm done to other elites and a good new client for hyatt. OR he might be an executive travelling for work and hotels are always very expensive last minute or on conventions, so he chooses hyatt and gives them more revenue.

OR a kid who is a churner goes to walmart and buys gift cards and then Money orders in the post office and gets top tier on Hyatt LOL.

Interesting how there are so many different patterns. Possibly the elite nights process faster for an upgraded card vs. a brand new application?

I've heard of it, but no one would ever claim Hilton Diamond rivals Hyatt Globalist, although Hyatt might be working to change that.

The WoH card is barely a month old. No doubt the IT kinks are still being worked out.

Chase has been issuing co-brand cards for decades, I sincerely doubt they are ironing out any `IT kinks` on account of the WoH card.

I think we've only had one poster claim to see elite nights based on spend at this point. So I'm not so sure that there is a lot going on here. When we get more data points, we'll have an idea.

How long has Chase been issuing Hyatt cards that involve elite qualifying nights based on spending?

There are clearly IT kinks on Hyatt's end. The five elite qualifying nights for having the card don't even post as such to one's account. They just appear with a generic "Bonus" label. If I hadn't been looking for those nights to post, I wouldn't have had any idea what that entry was in my activity section.

That sounds more like a Hyatt issue than a Chase issue.

I really doubt Chase has any control over the verbiage on Hyatt's site.

I explicitly said that particular issue was on Hyatt's end.

Ending when? Not in at least the past 5 years or so, if not longer.
