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

I've scrolled through and haven't seen this mentioned.
The card provides 1x, but the extra 10k points at 70, 80, 90 and 100 nights changes the calculation.
I'll hit 60 nights organically. Thus: 25k spend nets 10 qualifying nights which includes 10k extra points. This comes out to 35k or 1.4 points per dollar. It's a nice alternative to the Freedom Unlimited (which I don't have) for non-bonus category spend.
If you value a TSU more than 10k points, then this is an even better deal
Edit: I upgraded my card Saturday and asked for expedited delivery. It arrived today (Monday) and the 5 nights have already posted. I also asked about the 2k upgrade offer and the agent said she couldn't find an email being sent to me about it and thus it wasn't an option.

Upgrade to WoH Card?
I'm still debating on the upgrade of the other old Hyatt card in the family. We already have one main WoH card with status. This old Hyatt card was opened in early 2018 and won't get to 5/24 for quite some time. So the hope to land the new WoH card is pretty remote. I've resisted the urge to upgrade this card for some time since the marginal benefit is just the free night at $15k spend. At $15k spend, it is essentially a 2x spend, which is still quite good.
I do not see any other benefits from holding this 2nd Hyatt card other than the free night. We can cancel this card and hope to get the new WoH bonus, but it is going to be late 2020. Or just upgrade now and get the $15k spend free night and be done with it.

I'd just keep it the same for the free night and then get the new card next year, if eligible. Canceling now seems unwise, since Chase could go to 5/36 or require 48 months between same-family bonuses or something.

The $15k is likely way spent before we hit 60 nights. After that, this card is a $ loser (1.4x) unless you value the suite upgrade more than 10,000, or $160 or so.

But yes, you are absolutely night. This card is much more valuable than a lot of people give it credit for. If I had to go down to 2 cards in my wallet, it would be the CSR and this one.

It really depends on what CCs you carry. After my 60 nights, this card won't see much use any more. Even my CSR spending has gone down quite a lot this year. I carry AmEx BBP, Gold and Plat. Chase Unlimited, Ink+, and all the 5% category cards. Also the CNB Crystal CC for family daily use. 1.4x card is not that attractive any more.

Thinking about adding the Hilton one as well as I use IHG/Hilton only at select properties and the cards help to maintain Platinum/Diamond status without doing anything.
Hyatt & SPG/Marriott are my main chains where I usually clock in ~ 40-50 nights each.
