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

Mine is still working today. The current WoH bonus offer reportedly goes away on Jan. 9, so maybe Chase isn't generating brand new WoH referral links for people who haven't done so previously.

Thanks for the DPs. Maybe I'm not using the right URL? I'm starting at
https://www.chase.com/referafriend/worldofhyatt?CID=NAV
And getting this error message after putting in my info:

That's the right site. Either the system is down or they've killed (new) WoH referrals, since, as mentioned above, the offer is changing this week.

For those who had the 5 nights posted on Dec 31, 2018, is it safe to assume that we will once again have 5 nights post on Dec 31, 2019 and thus make us whole, or is it better to contact Chase and complain about this?

Called W of H. Chase sent the 5 night credit on 12/31 and it got posted for 2018. Not sure if this is by design, or mistake. If by design, then we should receive 5 night credit each year at year end. So we just do not need that many night credit.
Not sure if Chase can confirm anything. Hyatt has no control on this.

Not sure why people have come to expect errors like this to be honored, but there's no reason Hyatt should allow this error to go uncorrected.

I'm sure that some people have already used these nights or extra points that they got. That would make them harder to claw back.
I suppose they could leave you with a negative points balance. A negative free night certificate balance seems strange though.

I'm sure some have, but that doesn't mean the overall problem can't be corrected, nor would anyone be wronged if that were done. If people had stayed 5 nights past a qualifying threshold and it never posted, people wouldn't shrug and say Hyatt shouldn't bother with it.

This is clearly the mistake or mis-communication between Chase and Hyatt. Chase intended for 2019, but Hyatt credited on the day of the delivery of the 5 night credit. Chase just did not tell Hyatt what this 5 night credit was for.
