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

Yes, I'm sure.
My renewal for my old Hyatt card was May 2019, and I got a free night cert for that. Two months later I upgraded to the WoH version. This resets the anniversary year to July. They subtracted the $75, charged me the $95, and gave me another free night cert because I just had my new anniversary. I then spent $15k and got a 3rd one.

similar to you, my old hyatt anniversary was march 2019. got the cert. then upgraded july 2019. had the +/- AF dance, but no xtra cert. then spent 15k, got the spend cert. not only that, i had already received my new 2020 cert based on my march 2019 anniversary date. no idea what happened. that means i got the cert way before my new AF in july 2020. so many DP about reset date, but not me. maybe next year? who knows. looks like we need more DPs to come in. im sure plenty of people were upgrading from the old card so i hope they chime in.

Anyone else seeing a "courtesy adjustment" line item for WOH points via CC spend?
This month I earned about 2K points (all unbonused spend)...also shows 1K "courtesy adjustment" points also being transferred over. Note it's not exactly 1/2 of my spend, so I don't think it's exactly some 50% bonus or anything.
Any other data points?

I did not have a single dollar of bonused spend this past month...but still got this "courtesy adjustment". Not complaining, just curious.

thats odd. doesnt seem like anyone else is getting courtesy points if its not related to retention offers. is it a clean round number of 1k? does it also show its from chase vs hyatt? what do you see in your chase online rewards summary portal for hyatt? that should give you some clues.

Not complaining - if it was Marriott, the number would likely be negative

hmm. ok. well good for you. if thats what you see on the chase site, then it must be old crap that you never received cuz i dont see chase give out points by mistake too often. usually its citi or amex. not to mention its under "courtesy adj" so something must have triggered it (like an audit) vs your spend.

Usually the Chase Credit Card Nights post the day after. However, it's now late in the day 6/8 and those nights have not yet posted.

I also checked my Chase statement online and confirmed the 1K points were for grocery store bonus.
