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

- 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

Fair question for sure. I travel a decent amount, but just meant i don't have time to go specifically on mattress runs and was wondering what the various avenues are for getting to globalist. I am floating a lot right now so makes sense to try either way, just wanted to be as efficient as I can.

I tried to sort thru this thread and find the info I needed but am having a hard time.
My question is regarding the 2 nights/$5k spend.
I understand that from what we found out at the end of 2018 was that spend counted towards nights in the year it was spent, not based on the statement date. Does that mean the nights are added to you WoH account as soon as you hit each $5k or does it still take until the end of the statement cycle before they post.
I am looking to possibly hit 20 nights for club upgrades before a late July trip but it’s more than likely going to take until after my June statement but before my July statement to get to the next $5k threshold I need organically and need to know if I should plan accordingly.

How much time do you need to have to apply the certs once they’re in your account. Let’s say they show in my my account on a Wednesday, can they be applied to a stay that starts on Friday?

Its a 5 night stay with a family of 4 so the club access would same us some cash for the trip. I guess I’ll have to figure out a way to get to that next level by my June statement...or just find a weekend to get 2 more nights in.

You can then reduce your W-4 withholding so that you don't overpay next year's taxes by too much.
This is not going to raise any eyebrows at the IRS. I've paid estimated taxes for many years, especially by Jan 15 of the next year if my withholding for the previous year was a bit light.
This is just another method of 'manufactured spending'.

Wouldn't you be better off waiting until your anni night posts, then cancelling the old Hyatt and re-applying for the WOH card? Then you can also get the 50K sign-up bonus.
I'm thinking of doing the same myself in June. Is there any reason I can't do that? How long do I need to wait after cancelling the old card to apply for the new one?

Concrete example from a few months back: Free night posted at Hyatt from old Chase Hyatt card. A couple of weeks later, AF posted to Chase account. Waited a couple of weeks, then called in to cancel that card. Card cancelled, AF charge along with it. Waited a few more weeks and then applied for new WoH card. FWIW, the free night is still sitting attached to a reservation.

A lot people would prefer points than free nights. The points do not have hard expiration like the free nights do. You can redeem the points whatever the way you want, from category 1 to category 8 etc.

No. As you say, night posts before AF.
