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
- 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

you can if you log into your chase account and add it to your Apple Pay. Or if chase gives you a card number (which I don’t they they will), can just app check in with a saved credit card on your profile. Or if you have an extended stay, just checkin with a different credit card and settle your bill with your Hyatt card when it arrives.

but you need to checkout with your apply pay if you don’t have your physical card yet.
the only way to do checkin checkout on app and use your new card is to save the card to your hyatt profile which you can’t without the card number (unless chase gives you the number, not sure if that’s possible, so this option is out)

I recently learned that Hyatt is moving the free night award to calendar year. How will this affect me and is there any possibility I can earn two certificates with $30k of spending in 2021? My AF posted in November.
My statement closing date is the 27th if each month. So does that mean all spending from Dec. 28-31 will count as 2021 spending? I'm assuming my counter will reset to $0 and the next $15k will get me a free night certificate?

That's my understanding as well. Spend 15K from your Anniversary Date in 2020 (Nov 27) until Anniversary Date in 2021 then you'll get a certificate.
Spending another 15K from Nov 27,2021 till Dec 31, 2021 will get you another certificate.

Today is the 28th so my new statement cycle started already. I'm assuming all spending from today will count towards 2021 spending?

It will for the Free Night Certificates purpose. That should be the case also for the rolling spend counter for the night counts (2 nights per $5k spend).

What the heck? I saw blogs advertise the fact that I will earn 10 elite nights for 2020 & 2021. I applied card and got card few days ago but disappointed to see that I only have 5 elite nights in my WOH account today. I reached out to Hyatt and Chase, they pointed at each other and insist on 5 elite nights per year.
They said no such thing as 10 elite nights promotion for new cardholders before 12/31...

my friend recommend me to chill out and wait till late January or February to make noise on 10 EQN if I don't see anything on my account by Jan or Feb. Worst case - find some cheap cat 1 hyatt for 2 or 3 night (double nights promo) before Feb 28 to make up for 2nd "5 night" but prefer to avoid that if possible.

The wiki has been updated to reflect that 2022 is by calendar year. Take a look at the wiki. 2020 is by card member anniversary date, so the statement closing date is not really a factor. It's card member anniversary date in 2020 - card member anniversary date in 2021, then card member anniversary date in 2021 to Dec 31 2021 for a 2nd possible free night cert in 2021, then calendar year in 2022 and beyond.
When this was discussed upthread, it was noted that your card member anniversary date may not have anything to do with the statement closing date or AF posting date. Especially if you converted from a different product. Check with Chase to figure out your card member anniversary date.
Also, the spend counts when it is posted, not by statement closing date.

Has anyone with the soon-to-be-converted legacy card received the promised letter (or any other communication) with additional details? With the switch less than two weeks away, you’d think Chase would have disseminated this info already. But what do I know?

Sigh.... sometimes I wonder if anyone reads anything anymore. The terms and conditions for this offer quite literally say:
