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

Problems with Hyatt spend points NOT posting
So this month, I racked up near $20,000 spend on my WOH card, and I see that in my account I got the 8 stay credit, a FREE cat 1-4 night cert, but NO points posted for the actual spend (about 20,000) I contacted Hyatt and they told me go talk to Chase. I talked to Chase and they tell me that they've done everything on their end, and that I need to contact Hyatt.
What to do????

When did your statement close? Everything doesn't always post at the same time.
My closing date is the 15th and everything usually posts by the end of the 16th, but nothing has shown up yet. Hyatt or Chase might be having issues.

Same, mine closes on 15th and everything USUALLY posts by end of 16th as well. I thought it strange that everything else (stay night credit, cat cert) all posted except the actual points.

As a side note, this is what Chase has sent me as I pushed further...
"... points earned each credit card statement will post
to your World of Hyatt account within 30 days of the
statement date. We appreciate your patience. "
Have they suddenly changed the way they post the points?

I know the $15k spend for a free night is based on Cardmember year.
Does anyone know if the $5k counter for getting additional 2 night credit is based on cardmember or calendar year? And whether it resets?
I'm about $2k short of the next $5k milestone (and card anniversary is in a few weeks) so wondering if that counter gets reset when my anniversary hits...

The same thing happened with my Chase IHG card that closed in late June. The points took over a week to show up in my IHG account, whereas up until then they always posted by the end of the next business day.

Well ok. At least i know who to point the finger if this doesn’t resolve and now I have some timeline expectation of when it should be resolved as well. Thanks for that!

I have the same issues that some of you are seeing. Statement closed on the 12th, points usually post on the 13th or 14th. Still no points on the 19th. Statement shows 10k points earned last statement period but nothing has made it to my Hyatt account yet. Last year I had a UR to Hyatt transfer that took over a week to show up so will probably wait a few more days before calling Chase

This is my first month with the card and points posted a day after statement close. The large tally is correct, but then there's an extra 5k even and 3 "0" reward bonus postings. Any idea what the 5k is for?
I assume the 3 "0"s are for bonus category spend of which I had none. I upgraded from the old card to new card, but wasn't offered anything to do so. Edit: as informed below, the "0"s are for the 2 qualifying nights.
Quick Edit: I have not hit 40 nights so it's not due to that milestone bonus.

The "0" bonuses are for the qualifying nights - two per bonus. You get two per $5K in charges, so that looks right. Six qualifying nights with this statement.
I don't know what the 5,000 points are.
