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

My bill closing date is December 28th. I'm in a race against time to get the required EQNs to requalify for Globalist. How accurate is the spending summary from the app? It said I have spent $9590 this year. I have every incentive to get to $15k before the 28th. I'm assuming I'll get 4 EQNs if I get to $15k? Is it possible to change the bill closing date to the 30th to get a couple of more days so I can be sure I'll get my spending in? I'm assuming my CC EQNs will post in my Hyatt account before the end of the year so I'll requalify for Globalist?

Also, it's likely too late to change your closing date. Those don't take effect until the next billing cycle.
That doesn't matter, though, as all spending through Dec. 31 will count, regardless of closing date. Any additional nights will post retroactively after your Jan. 2023 statement.

Business card spending DOES NOT roll through year end. It resets to zero if you did not make a multiple of $10k.
Personal card spending DOES carry through year end.
This is going to cause a lot of outrage here in a month or so.

You need to add up all spending since you've had the card, as the $5,000 chunks are on a rolling basis and don't reset on Jan. 1. You'll definitely get another two EQN if you spend exactly $5,000 more, but you might be $4,999 away from the other two.
Also, it's likely too late to change your closing date. Those don't take effect until the next billing cycle.

You have to spend $15k per year to get the (extra) FNC. You get 2 EQNs every time you hit $5k in spend from the day you open the card. To find out where you are with EQNs you'll need to add up all your spending (minus the annual fee) from 2019 to now.

Is the Chase spending summary accurate? I selected current year and it said I spent $9590. I'm assuming as long as I put in $5410 and it posts by the 28th, I'll get my FNC? What if it posts on the 29th or 30th, which is the start of the new billing cycle?

might be a bit trickier for those of us who migrated (or were force-migrated) from the original Hyatt card since as far as I recall it didn’t have the 2 EQN/$5k credit.
