That would be awesome. However, is that even an option, once the card gets converted over to the World Of Hyatt card. Even if I cancel, am still eligible for the sign up bonus since now I've actually held WOH credit card?

I received the signup bonus more than 3 years ago. There just seems to be so much unknown on cancelling once it gets converted. I feel it's safer if I cancel before the conversion (reading what LAX and some of the other posts here).

Someone posted today in one of the blogs lamenting that he was just denied.

I'm in the same boat, and decided not to cancel and to keep the new upgraded WOH card.

Sure I'm losing potentially 40K (50K - 1 free night when I cancel) points from SUB, but I really don't want to risk losing any (if not all) Chase hotel cards in my portfolio (denied WOH or getting shut down completely). Chase has been tightening up too with people gaming the system so I'd rather play safe and keep good standing with them. Besides I still want to get IHG Premier later, again, this is a more risk averse approach, YMMV.

Sure, in waiting to cancel you’re risking that the SUB will be inferior to what’s being offered right now. But there’s also some valuable promos running right now which make it worth having *a* Hyatt linked CC (whether it’s The legacy card or the WOH card). Once those promos run out at the end of Q1, and assuming Q2 doesn’t bring an extension or an equally good replacement, then I’ll be looking at cancelling my (by then World Of) Hyatt card and applying again.

I woke up this morning to a shiny new World of Hyatt card account in my Chase app (converted this morning from a Hyatt credit card).

We’ll see how long it takes for the 5 nights to post (assuming we get them on converted cards).

Same here - see the converted product in my Chase profile. Did Chase/Hyatt ever confirm or deny that "convertees" will be getting 5 elite nights? What's the timeline? Thanks!

I messaged them about it a few days ago but haven't heard anything back as yet.

They sold the "upgrade" as having the 5 nights (plus 2 per $5k) and the extra 1 point per dollar spend, I can't see them treating converted cards differently.
