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

Most of my colleagues like to stay at Marriott so every year I put all my 1x spend on WoH card and focus solo/personal stays at Hyatt so I can keep my status renewed without needing to stay at a separate property from everyone else when we have group trips.

I had my annual fee post Feb 1. Will the FNA really take 10 weeks to post? I have a trip in August at a Cat4 and it would be nice to book before April.
Also a DP for anyone that's interested: I paid rent using PayPal Key Feb 26th. Card showed as debit when adding it as a payment method. Charge is still pending, which is unusually long. Will update if it fails to post.

Clawback of $5,000 TQNs?
14-15 month old Hyatt personal card statement 1 week ago, passed a $5,000 increment, 2 TQN’s posted to WOH account the day after statement date, balance slightly overpaid day prior to statement date, statement balance ~$30 credit.
Statement date was in the middle of a 5 night Hyatt Residence Club (HRC) stay for which 2 night deposit (~$1,200) was charged to personal card 4 weeks ago. Applied and approved for Hyatt Biz card 3 weeks ago. Decided to ask the HRC front desk if they would credit the deposit back to the personal card and charge it to the biz card (both get 4 points per $ and would help meet biz card minimum spend).
Expecting a “no way”, I made the request the night prior to check out which was also the day after statement date and day the TQNs posted to WOH. Very pleasantly surprisingly the manager immediately understood (“I made a mistake, I should have used the biz card for the deposit.”) and agreed, he processed the credit and the charge in 3 minutes, I saw the pending credit and pending charge on-line immediately.
My plan is to use the personal card until the end of March (5 points per $ at grocery stores), continue to use the biz card for Hyatt stays, close the personal account in a couple of months and (re)apply for the personal card when it’s been 25-26 months since receiving the last personal SUB. (Only ~$900 other spend on personal card this year so the $14,100 for a FNA is better spent on biz card toward SUB and $10,000 increment.)
Right now I expect my next personal card statement in 4 weeks to show a credit of ~$1,000 which will bring the $5,000 incremental spend down to ~$4,400.
Are the 2 TQNs something that Chase and/or Hyatt are likely to clawback?
Thank you.

I don't always have this much spend, but I hit around $70k so far this year. Between the 33 CC nights I'm getting from the Visa and another 30 I have or will stay by the end of the month I'll get Globalist renewed shortly.

As per the Wiki, the $15K spend FNA should be "Issued 1-2 days after statement closing date of the triggering transaction (the transaction causing the spend counter to cross $15k)." It did for me in December.

Alternatively, I noticed that you get 5 nights of credit per $10k spend on the Hyatt Biz card but you don't get any free night certs as far as I can tell so not sure which way is better for spending your way to Globalist.

I see people put spend on this card to get to $15k for the free night certificate. So if you put $140k you also get 9 free nights which together with Globalist status and all the milestone awards makes it somewhat competitive with putting the spend elsewhere. But I would combine achieving Globalist with stays and spend because I can't see myself reaching 60 nights just on stays.

Darn, as the expression goes “I hate when that happens”. If it’s any comfort, we’ve all probably “been there done that” (something very similar). For those who are managing many cards and programs, it’s challenging to successfully manage every nuanced detail. Better luck this year!
59 days for me, fee on 1/1, FNA posted 2/28, 1 year expiration.

Thank you.
In terms of your EQNs, I don't have a firm answer, but based on the timing of everything, it doesn't really matter if you still have it on your WOH account versus if you have it later? I mean if they do claw it back, it shouldn't be a big deal to just spend back up to the 5K limit to get the 2 EQNs back right?
