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

June statement points not posting
Like some of the other threads here, points for the Hyatt card for my June statement which closes on the 15th of every month aren’t posting. Points for my CSR posted instantly. When do people feel like calling chase is the appropriate thing to do?

They have in the past offered 5000 points for adding an authorized user.
Would not compare these. UR is managed by Chase itself, whereas Hyatt is not and point postings are really immediate.

Has anyone had an issue getting their card anniversary certificates lately?
My husband and I both signed up for this card in late June last year, and we still haven't received them. I keep checking our Hyatt accounts online. I contacted both Chase and Hyatt, and Chase said they have up to 10 weeks to send them to us. That's fine, but everyone else I know with this card gets their anniversary certificates within a few days of their anniversary, even before the next year's annual fee hits.
What has been your experience?
Thanks.

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

My statement closed on 7/21 and points posted the following day. Also got my 2 elite nights for hitting one of the 5k spending thresholds.

My points from my statement on 7/15 still haven’t posted. I called chase, who told me to call Hyatt, who told me to cal chase, who told me to wait 30 days. Frustrating!

Update on the mystery 5k points. In the mail I received an offer to upgrade my old Hyatt card to the new and receive 5k points after first purchase.
Note, I upgraded BEFORE receiving this and the agent told me there were no offers. So, it appears their poor IT worked in my favor here.

5k upgrade has been the standard now for quite some time. I'm still puzzled by what the poster is trying to say as below....

I'm honestly not sure where the disconnect is here.
Poster reported receiving 5K points that he/she couldn't explain.
Now, he/she has an explanation for the deposit.
Does that clarify the situation?

If the poster does not pay attention, it is a technical thing, nothing else. Not sure if this is something to report....

Well, it made sense to me, and I appreciate that he/she took the time to close the loop on the issue.
