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

Correct. If you already have a Hyatt Credit Card, all of the following must occur so that you can qualify as someone who does NOT have a Hyatt CC:
- cancel your card.
- pay it off to a zero balance
- A statement must run showing a zero balance. (you can make this step happen sooner, by changing your statement closing date to an earlier date.)
- wait another 5 days after the zero-balance statement.
After all of the above (and not one minute sooner), their system will stop saying that you already have an existing Hyatt credit card.

In mid-August, TSMRSRNE upgraded her Hyatt card ($75 AF) to the new card ($95 AF). On her August statement, she received a prorated refund of the old card's AF.
ANNUAL FEE REFUND -43.75
OK. Fine. Next, she should have been billed $95 for her new AF. However, a credit in that amount appeared on 8/30/2018.
ANNUAL FEE REFUND -95.00
Looks like Chase made a mistake, right?

Thought I remembered seeing somewhere on FT that if I added an AU at sign up and they made a purchase within 3 mos then the std 5k bonus points would be given. Well, I definitely haven't received those points but also when I went back to look at the terms of the offer I didn't see anything about the AU bonus pts. Anyone experienced getting the 5k for adding AU ? Maybe I'm just presuming all chase hotel cards get that.......but shouldn't.
I met spending and regular points posted.

My statement closed yesterday and the statement reflects only the points from spend and not the bonus, so I sent the following secure message:
This was the response, which is disappointing because I was hoping to have the points before the end of the 10% back promo period, but not unexpected (and at least it affirms that there was no error in the enrollment process):
Can you confirm that I have satisfied the requirements to
earn 60,000 bonus Hyatt points with this card by spending
$6,000? Can you let me know when I might expect to receive
these points. Thank you!

I just had a statement close with:
I had upgraded and never got the upgrade bonus. Given that this is trigger-happy Chase, I had figured I wouldn't pursue it.

I got very lucky with an upgrade bonus! I tried the dedicated web page for the 2k bonus point upgrade, but I was prompted to call Chase directly. Then, I spoke to the rep who asked me, "So, the letter-in-the-mail said you would get 2000 points for upgrading?" I was honest and said yes (a little hesitantly). After my first purchase on the new card, I checked my account and saw a Cat 1-4 award (1 year exp) deposited into my account. I'm not 100% sure if this was intentional, but I got this instead of the 2k points.
