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

Now that I think of it, the extra night for 15k might make sense if I paid my rent with this card because they charge a 2.5% fee, but I would get another free night plus 15k points (another night at a cat 4) - so would my math be right $375 - $250 [extra free night] - $250 [15k room] = $125?
Plus cash rates on cat 4s are historically quite low

At least around Chicagoland you’d do better burning those 15k points toward three cat 1 nights. More $ saved and the current rebate of 2500 per two nights (and .1 of a cat 4 night on the first 10) applies even on the cheap hotels.

2500 points per two nights
First 10 nights gets a cat 4 cert
(Just added) 1000 AA miles per night
As I tend to stay in cheaper Hyatts (often with lower negotiated rates under $50 ), this seems pretty good to me.

Any suggestions on good value properties where you’ve been able to negotiate a rate?

Edit: it appears to be a separate promo, here is the registration link. Unfortunately it said I wasn't offered this promo, so it may be targeted only.

Is there another place to register for this? Or is it part of the bonus journies promo that originally posted in March? Just curious whether one needs to register again for the AA miles.

Any suggestions on the quickest/easiest/cheapest way to get AA Gold?
Too late for this promo, but i wouldn’t mind picking up the extra 1 AA point per $1 Hyatt spend (I usually have ~$50k hotel spend and this year most of it is going to Hyatt so far). I’ve had AA EXP status in the past but it was always through actual flown miles (which have been cut to practically zero this year, since I’ve ditched airline loyalty for the foreseeable future) so I’m not familiar with any of the other routes out there (challenges, paid offers, etc).
