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'm sure that this is in here, but couldn't find a specific answer with a quick search:

My understanding is that any nights associated with $5K spend boundaries post to the account as of the statement closing date, correct?

We had a case where the statement closed Jan 5. I expected the nights to post in 2022. Instead, I see the nights posted with a Dec. 31 date, i.e. last year when we don't need them. That seems incorrect. Just want to get some data before calling.

Cheers.

Per the Wiki above: "For World of Hyatt status qualification purposes, the night credits are associated with the transaction date (not the posting date) of the triggering transaction, not the statement closing date. For example, December 2020 transactions with transaction dates during billing cycles ending in January 2021 will count toward the 2020 status year, not 2021."

So it sounds like the nights were posted correctly.

Thanks (and sorry for not looking in the Wiki first as an obvious step). Curious as to why the other ones (during the year) always show at the posting date. I guess because it doesn't matter within the year.

Any thoughts on whether it's worth calling for a "one time exception" since we didn't know. Or if the Globalist line can help with an exception in this case? or lost cause? This is 4 nights here, so we'd really like them, if we can swing it.

Also, I see it in the Wiki. Is it documented on Hyatt or Chase sites?

Cheers.

YMMV but speaking from experience last year I had a transaction with a transaction date just after midnight on 1/1/20. By all rights it should have gone into the New Year. It did not because Chase showed a authorization 24 hours earlier, just after midnight on 12/31/19. Merchant documentation supported me, Chase would not budge.

After six months of pursuing it, Chase would not budge, Hyatt deflected back to Chase, I got absolutely nowhere.

In the end all I got from MHC was if the 6 nights in question were needed we can revisit.

In the end they were not needed but it all left a very bad taste.

Thanks for the link. I guess we'll call with low expectations

We were looking forward to these nights. Definitely my ball drop for not looking sooner since it is written clearly

Cheers.

Similar situation when I tried early this year after my Jan statement to get 2021 elite night credit reclassified to 2022. My spending did post in calendar year 2021, so this is my fault (actually, my issue with a vendor charging a large purchase at the wrong time)...

First reached out to Hyatt thinking they could just manually move the nights from 2021 credit to 2022 credit, for which they gave me a "case number" for someone to follow up. I eventually received an email from Hyatt Consumer Affairs that stated this would not be possible, but to try to reach out to Chase. I asked Chase, and they said they would not reclassify the spend from 2021 to 2022. Seemed like a lost cause so did not pursue further at that point

Thanks. Based on now two very strong experiences, I think we'll not bother. It would definitely be an exception and they seem unlikely to grant/ Annoyed that 4 nights ended up in last year (where 67 nights are no more valuable than 63 ), rather than a start on this year, but completely my fault and a learning experience for next year. TS maintenance fees due Jan. 1 can be paid on Jan. 1

Appreciate the experiences and apologies again for writing before doing the proper looking. What I did was ineffective and it was so clearly posted.

Cheers.

I'd say it's worth trying at least. You never know.

And if you get someone who will actually do this, come back here and let us know!

Never seen a single report of success with something like this.

I wonder if changing your statement close/due date would help at least limit this problem? My statements close on the 23rd which at least limits the opportunity (which of course can go both ways - maybe some years you would want those final 2, 4, 6 nights to post in the prior year)

The nights given after each $5,000 are based on transaction date, so statement date doesn't matter.

Cool did you need the 5 nights for 2021 to meet a threshold?

Per se I wasn't looking for them but the 5 EQNs in 2021 with my stays pushed me into Explorer status (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyat...l#post33854073).

Unintended but nice benefit.
