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

had already started with min payments to Metro and EZPass and will switch my Google Fi, but that's all I can scrape up so I hope especially that the latter will code correctly.

For the 2 bonus nights per $5k spend, here's a lesson in what not to do:
I had a charge unexpectedly post early on December 30, 2024 for $2k. This bumped me up to the next $5k level which gave me 2 additional nights in 2024. I had no use for any additional nights in 2024 so these were totally wasted. Then I had to cancel the $2k charge which posted in early January 2025. This effectively put me $2k in the hole to start 2025. I'm not sure one could screw this up much worse than that, but so it goes sometimes... SMH

So this isn't new then? I haven't seen this one before. Anyone know if this is targeted? Also, since I can't see the T&Cs, anyone know if they have to be new recurring payments or if established ones already previously set up will also apply?

Does Verizon Wireless count or it needs to be landline phone provider?

Chase website includes "cellular" under Internet, cable, and phone services
https://www.chase.com/personal/credi...s-category-faq
I would be interested in how this was done also.

The local transit and commuting category includes rideshares so I'm wondering how can that be a recurring charge if it's normally done on demand/as needed? Can you just charge one ride a month to your Hyatt card for 3 consecutive months and that will work?

A commenter on DOC mentioned that making 3 manual payment of $1 each for 3 months worked for them which was a question we had for the member that posted upthread that they did $1 a month.
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase...ring-payments/
I did not receive the email shown in the DOC post, does that mean that I am not targeted for this promotion? I'm not going to waste my time and energy to put on 3 recurring charges x 3 months and then not even get the points.
