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
- 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

I am in the exact same situation with almost the same dates (Aug 16 and Sep 16) with no bonus yet, waiting for my next statement to close on Oct 16.

Canceled my Old Hyatt Credit card almost 2 months ago. I applied for the new one and was approved online for 19k. Way too high , even my CSP is only at 14k.
Last Chase application was in March 2018 , the same date as my B of A Biz card. Hope I don't end up being approved and my account shut down. Somewhat a little worry even though I only have the Chase Marriot Biz (March 2018) IHG for at least 3 years, and the Chase Sapphire Preferred for 3 to 5 years.

I don't think you should worry about a shutdown. You can always reduce your credit line with Chase via secure message. I typically do that with all the "sock drawer" cards that I know I won't use often. I've also used the secure message feature to shift credit from one card to another.

Anyone else having issues with the free anniv night? I was told i would get it based on my original (old)hyatt cc anniv date when I decided to upgrade. It has past my anniv date for a few days now, still nothing. It used to be pretty spot on loaded into acct on anniv date.

As someone who decided to hold onto the old card through the anniversary date (this month, October), I can tell you that free night posted end-of-September, just as in the past.

First statement closed yesterday. I missed the 6K mark by about $800 and two days (ie had the spend but just needed more time to post).
Anyway, statement listed the 40K bonus. Today account does not show the points posting yet but the 2 days have been added.
Just got to wait another month for the other 20K.

Same issue here. Card anniversary was 10 days ago and no free night. Have not had issues in the past. 10 weeks is a bit ridiculous if that is what they are intending. Wonder if they will start the 12 month free night expiration clock when it actually lands in your account or from the anniversary date.
