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

It’s not clear at all that this is true. With the ability to spend one’s way to Globalist, it would make sense for Hyatt to want to weed out churners and manufactured-spending types.

Was denied for the Hyatt card based on "too many credit cards opened in the past 48 months." Closed previous Hyatt 2 weeks ago, current stats are 10/24, 18/48. Hoping this doesn't mean this card is under 5/24. Rep said he is unable to reconsider due to this reason. Not sure if I should just call to reopen my closed account since I do value the free night cert.

We still get one old card and one new card. With the new restriction (if new), not sure what to do with the old one. I think I just miss the 2nd night with $15k spending? We could just pick up the 2,000 points for the upgrade.

I've been Diamond>Globalist for 3 (maybe 4) years at least . I emailed customer service and they said I needed 60 night to re-qual this year? Any thoughts on how I address this?
I have 5K in spend on Hyatt Visa this year, will probably hit another 5K-- for 2 more nights, but if my Hyatt CC closes on Jan 1, 2019 am I screwed on earning extra nights for 2018? As per this thread seems as if I am?

You should do the spend before your dec statement closes. Can you push some of it forward by buying gift cards or something?
Did you get 60 nights (or 100k base) last year? If so you should only need 55. But if you qualified some other way last year (eg between 55 and 59 nights) then yeah, you need 60.

How could I have re-qualified w/out 60 nights? Im pretty sure I hit 60 on the nose b/c I had to do one cheap mattress run at a Hyatt Place in late December as I recall. Do they re-qual folks with less than 60 (e.g. 55-59)?

One of the published benefits of hitting 60 nights or 100k base pts is that you only need 55 nights the next year to maintain globalist.

EDIT: The ToC are actually pretty clear. If you achieve globalist by hitting 60 nights or 100k base pts, you can requalify the following year with 55 nights or 100k base pts.
(a) Requirements To Earn Globalist Status: Members who, in the course of one (1) Calendar Year, record a minimum of sixty (60) Tier-Qualifying Nights or earn one hundred thousand (100,000) Base Points will receive Globalist status after meeting the minimum requirement through February of the second Calendar Year following qualification. Please allow approximately seven (7) business days from the checkout date of the stay during which you qualify for a new elite status to be applied to your membership. A member who, after March 1, 2017, who qualifies for Globalist status by satisfying the minimum Tier-Qualifying Night or Base Point accrual standards set forth above may re-qualify for Globalist status for the following year by either recording a minimum of fifty-five (55) Tier-Qualifying Nights or by earning one hundred thousand (100,000) Base Points during the current Calendar Year.

Will nights hit on or about time spend does (e.g December 19) like Delta Amex or MR Amex does, as opposed to after statement close date? Chase seems kinda crappy about that.

Each of the "reward bonus" 0 are 2 nights from $5k spending.
You need to spend before the December statements closes.

I just called Hyatt CS for the same thing, she dug around and said I had 68 nights in 2017 and this year will only need 55 for both qualification as well as the perks (Suite Upgrades & Free Night).
