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

I think I am done with Hyatt credit card after I cancel it, which I will wait until I receive my last FNA. I might keep it for another year if I am offered a retention bonus that would at least make the effective AF $75.

unless the terms changed i want to say the card will renew at $75 until sometime q3 iirc and those renewals are subject to the annual fee of $95

Does anyone know if the 5 elite night credits we received will double or will we just get the 5 this year as a result of holding the cc?

You will receive five in total, unless you applied for and received a new credit card in the 4th quarter of last year. In that case you will have already received ten.

Any bets on when the 5 qualifying nights for converted legacy card holders will post? Cards were converted on 1/11.

My five nights posted today. I also received a email congratulating me to another year of Discoverist status (earned via CC ownership), good through Feb 28, 2023. Anyone know if that status will end early if I cancel the card, say, next month?

Does anyone know off the top of their head how long after approval does your Hyatt status get updated to Discoveriest along with the 5 EQN?

Once the nights post then they won’t be taken away. So you can go ahead and cancel if you want.

Thanks, but I was actually asking about the elite status. Will elite status from the credit card be terminated upon cancellation of the card?

Discoverist is 5 nights. You got 5 nights from
the card. The 5 nights aren’t going to be taken away. Therefore your status isn’t going to be taken away.
notquiteaff and Pocatello like this.

If this is the case, why are legacy card holders reporting prorated refunds of the current $75 AF? I am not doubting your info, but it appears to conflict with what Chase is doing.

In the T&C of the card that explains how to get a FNA for spending $15,000, there's a clause that says "the following types of transactions won’t count: 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, if applicable".

The "foreign currency" part caught my eyes.

Does this mean all purchases that are not in USD will not count towards the FNA?
That sounds a little too restrictive since this is a travel card and many of us stay at Hyatts outside of the US and also buy things while traveling in other countries.
