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 know they will deduct points earned, but can they take away my free night too? I will make sure to spend extra if that's the case.
IDK whether the Operative Date is Oct. 1 or the closing date of your statement in October. If the refund posts before the Operative Date, you will be OK IF your new spending from now until then brings your net spending (after the refund is deducted) back over $15K. If not? I'll let others answer your question.
If the refund posts after the Operative Date, I bet that it will put your annual spend for 2020--21 into the negative, so you will have to spend the refund amount + $15K before Oct. 2021 to earn next year's free night.

The anniversary date is October 1, but statement cuts in the middle of the month.

Interesting, my offer is a little different - it is 15% on Hyatt charges of greater than $100, up to a maximum of $38 back. Valid until 10/06.

Does anyone know how the 5000$ spend for 2 elite qualifying nights works exactly. I spent 5000$ in 2019, got 2 elite qualifying nights in 2019, only to have those charges refunded in 2020 due to covid. If i now spend 5000$ in 2020, will i still get the 2 elite nights this yr, or will I have to spend 10,000$ to get more elite qualifying nights since I got those in 2019? Thank you for your help.

Shadowlines, I bet you have to spend $10K in 2020, because your refunds have probably put your annual spend into the negative. To be sure, you should call Chase to ask how much they show as your total spend so far this year.

A stay charged to my WoH card at a Hyatt House location in Shanghai was not coded properly and only gave me 1 point per dollar. I called Chase support and was told it would be escalated to get resolved, but then a letter arrived at my US address claiming they "confirmed with Hyatt the location was not a Hyatt property." Must be news to whomever put up all those Hyatt signs at the hotel!

I called again and got ping-ponged between Chase and Hyatt; was told by a supervisor Hyatt would escalate this to their brand partnerships team. The woman I spoke to said there was no indication Chase had "confirmed" anything with them. We'll see if this actually gets handled in the 48 hours I was quoted.

I'll happily eat crow for my indignation over this. Within 48 hours, I received this email:

Dear Mr. Lobster,

I appreciate the opportunity to assist you regarding your account.

We have reached out to Chase and they will be posting the 4x points, for those two stays, in your next billing cycle.

We value your membership and we look forward to your future stays at Hyatt.

Best regards,
Laura Smith
Guest Care Support
Hyatt Global Contact Center
E: [email protected]

Very pleased with how this was handled on the Hyatt side. Less so with Chase.

Any Peloton users out there who have tried to fight Chase to get this coded as Fitness? Sadly the recurring monthly membership isn't getting categorized that way.

Thx...if you look at the official language it's "fitness clubs and gyms" so I get why it's not allowed...maybe that will change at some point

I'm surprised this isn't coded as fitness! I'm really interested in the new Peloton bike since it have Gymkit support now.

So which card should I use to pay for a Peloton membership and the bike?
