Chase World of Hyatt: free night award

What the Chase World of Hyatt's free night award covers as its issuer summarises it, which cards with dated benefits list the same thing for a lower fee, and whether the card's rewards pay its fee before the benefit is counted.

Read this first

This list comes from each issuer's benefit summary, read on the month shown beside each card. Summaries leave out the exclusions, the claim limits per year and the conditions — often that the whole trip or purchase has to go on the card — so read the card's full guide to benefits before you rely on one. 64 of the 118 cards in the catalogue have no benefits recorded here yet and are left out, so a card missing from this list may still have it.

What the summary says

A free night at a Category 1–4 Hyatt each cardmember anniversary, and a second after $15,000 of spend in a calendar year

The summary states no limit for it. That means none was written down, not that there is none — the guide to benefits has the figure.

Who it is worth it for

No card open to applicants with dated benefits carries an annual free night award for a lower fee.

On rewards alone, the illustrative household spending $2,205 a month (the assumption, in full) earns about $522 a year on the Chase World of Hyatt, or $427 once its $95 fee is paid. So the rewards pay the fee before this benefit is counted: for somebody who spends like that household, the benefit comes on top.
