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

Checking out on Jan 1 shouldn't net you 6 nights, only one. The remaining 5 would be posted to 2019.

As for my situation... I'll fairly sure that all nights get posted on the day you check out. They don't split stays. All the spend from that stay is showing up as base pts for 2020 too.
I checked my activity and there is nothing about the 5 nights from Chase (that shows up as a separate line item... or, at least, it did last year). I'm fairly sure that all 6 are coming from my Dec 26 - Jan 1 stay. I will confirm when my Chase nights post.

Hyatt is based on when you check out, ie a Dec 12-Jan 2 stay would all count for 2020. Starwood split. I think Marriott splits too but they screwed up everything on my NYE stay that I'm not hopeful anything will post correctly

And yes, the 15k free night ticker starts on your card anniversary. One of those per year.

hmm. anyone else who had 5 EQN already post? i had thought those post mid Jan? when did your statement cut? mine cut jan 1st. but i dont think that matters for the 5 EQN. it better not post for 2019 vs 2020 since i dont need the extra 5 EQN in 2020.
nothing for me either.

Interesting that Marriott posted Jan 1 when I logged into the app they were there already.

my marriott posted already as well. no hyatt. i guess its still too early in 2020 and they post in batches. that would make sense. too much system stress to post all in one day.

No, I have just been following WN and its forum and Chase for about 15 years and have learned that what Chase reps say and what eventually comes to pass do not always align.

That is a very valid point. This past week I asked to get the contactless version of the WOH card. They told me this card was not eligible for contactless, and pointed me to check other Chase products that are. On the list of course is the WOH card. I replied again to the secure message and this time the agent decided to issue the contactless
