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

Correct math or no?
Does the tracker in your Hyatt account say you need 55 or 60 to re-qualify? If it says 55, then your math is correct.

The tracker says 60, which I always thought was strange since I was Globalist (not "Diamond") last year, but I assumed they just reconciled when I hit 55 or at the end of the year or something? Perhaps I should contact Hyatt CS. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

How did you attain Globalist last year? Did you actually stay 60 nights at Hyatt or did you attain Globalist via challenge? The 55-night qualifier is only for people who stayed 60 or more nights the year before.

I asked this question through the Chase Secure Message Center with the answer below:

If I make a $1,000 purchase on December 30, 2018 after my statement closes on December 17, 2018, I assume the $1,000 spend will only count for elite night credit in 2018. So all spending that counts for 2019 elite night credit starts on Jan 1, 2019. Is this correct?


Thank you for contacting Chase regarding your World of Hyatt account.

You are correct. Only purchases posted to the account starting Jan 1, 2019 and on will go towards the spend for 2019. Anything before will go towards the 2018 year.

If you need any other assistance, you can send us a secure message.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Chase.

Makes sense to me. 1/1, the counter just resets.

Right, but it can cause confusion, unless Chase sends a special 12/31 update to Hyatt for everyone, since spending from one's Dec. closing date until 12/31 might end up in no-man's land. I also wonder how returns will be handled. Without a doubt, someone will try to game the system at the end of the year and/or unintentionally qualify for a higher WoH level via late-Dec. spending, only to have it potentially clawed back by Hyatt after a return(s).

I guess it's possible that Chase can update Hyatt on 12/31, but I wouldn't automatically believe what a random CSR answering secure messages says about the benefits of a new card. I think this is the opposite of how they've handled the old Chase Marriott card which had a qualifying night after $3k in spending ...can't find a post on that right now but I'll look.

OK...found this post on MMS blog (although I'm not sure that's completely reliable, either) in which he claims that Dec spending on January statement goes for elite credit the next year: MMS on elite night credits.

Here's a discussion from Marriott Insiders: Marriott Insiders. The elite nights don't post until sometime after the statement closes and the points have posted. But I can't find anything as to whether at year end those elite nights could be backdated.

Seeing something similar here too.

Has anyone had an October statement close and earn points? I usually get points 1-2 days after statement close, but like many here it’s been a week since closing and no points.

Same here. My October statement closed 10/23 and I usually have the points the following day by 4:00 pm PST. This time, I only got 2 nights credit posted and 0 points. This is frustrating!

My October statement is the same as everyone here. Closed on 10/17 and no points to date, and I also received 2 nights credit for spend. I called World of Hyatt and they assured me this is a known problem. Hope they get it worked out soon.
