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

- 1 Bonus Point per $1 spent on all other purchases
- Discoverist status every year
- 5 qualifying night credits every year
- No foreign transaction fees

I applied and was approved for the card on December 29, 2020, still don't have my physical card, the first five nights looked like they posted in the past 24 hours, and when I was in my account just now it shows all 10 nights have now posted for the WoH card.
edited to add: The alternative explanation is that I also received five nights credit for the old Hyatt Credit Card I closed on the 22nd or 23rd of December before applying for the new one.

Even before the WOH credit card is physically delivered, it's possible to get the card account activated in the Apple Wallet on the iPhones and to start running up the cards' charges that way.

Looks like others have received the credit so maybe it will show up eventually. Should I keep following up with Chase or just wait for Hyatt to sort it out over the next few weeks? Planning to do a MR for the journeys promo but my plans are currently based on the 10 nights credit so important from that perspective.
New to Hyatt program so appreciate any insights on how this might work in WOH.

My cc statement just closed/posted - Jan 3. The 8 nights I was due for December spend from cc were posted on my Hyatt acct on Dec 31, meaning they don't count toward this year? I thought whatever the closing date was the date of record.
Is that right!?

wiki says posting by transaction date, not statement close date.

As expected, after my Dec spend/Jan 1 CC close, my $15K free night just posted. Also passed a $5K threshold in Dec spend too - can only assume those 2 nights hit 2020 (didn't do anything for me)

Applied for the new WoH in November. Got 10 nights last year and 5 posted so far for 2021. I don't remember if they post as 2 transactions (5 + 5). I believe they do but not sure. Does anybody remember?
TIA!

10 nights from Chase for having the Chase World of Hyatt Visa credit card in 2021
Very interesting, I just got off the phone with Hyatt, on January 1, 2021 I was credited 5 nights for having the Chase World of Hyatt credit card, I asked Hyatt why it was not 10 nights, the Hyatt agent advised me to contact Chase directly to have the additional 5 nights credited, does that sound right, or should I just be patient and wait for Chase to credit the additional 5 nights for 2021?
