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

It doesn’t, and I have combined them with points awards at a HP (Silverton). But as I said, for most of my longer stays I would like/need a higher category property and elite benefits (that I don’t have with Hyatt). Hence the various credit card free nights for me (IHG, Marriott, Hyatt) tend to be one-night-stands at airport properties while traveling.

Great idea and thank you for the reminder. I have an IHG (no status) CC FNA from a CC that I got only for the SUB (it’s an addiction, couldn’t pass up a 160,000 SUB) that I need to use in the next few months. Somehow even though I closed the account 10 days after the AF was billed, the FNA remains on my IHG account.

I believe I posted this question incorrectly in a new thread, and you all may be able to help. Fun issue - husband charged $12,000 today on his WOH personal card at a Hyatt Regency for a business conference. Woo hoo we get reimbursed! Curious how this will get coded for points for the card use. His room charge was a separate bill. The charge is Hyatt Regency... two charges totalling about 12K.
How many points will we get for this?

Usually if I hit an another $5k EQN level, the nights post with the date the statement closed.
However, I've heard elsewhere that these always post in the year you hit them. Is that true? e.g., if I hit the spend marker after my December closes but before the end of the year.

"World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits will be credited to the calendar year in which the spend occurred."
See also the wiki at the top of this thread under "Two Additional Night Credits with every $5k spend" -- "For World of Hyatt status qualification purposes, the night credits are associated with the transaction date (not the posting date) of the triggering transaction, not the statement closing date. For example, December 2020 transactions with transaction dates during billing cycles ending in January 2021 will count toward the 2020 status year, not 2021."
