We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Negative Changes to the Chase Hyatt Card!

    Via One Mile at a Time, the sign-up bonus on the Chase Hyatt card is changing.  And I suspect lots of folks won’t be happy with the change.

    On June 29, 2017 (in just a few days!), you’ll NO longer earn 2 free nights at any Hyatt after meeting minimum spending requirements.  Instead, the card will come with a 40,000 Hyatt point sign-up bonus after spending $2,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account.

    If You Want 2 Free Nights at the Park Hyatt Sydney, You’ll Have to Apply for the Chase Hyatt Card Sooner Rather Than Later!

    Here’s more about this news.  And what it means for you.

    New Hyatt Card Sign-Up Bonus

    Link:   My Review of the Chase Hyatt Card

    As of June 29, 2017, instead of the current 2 free nights sign-up bonus, you’ll earn 40,000 Hyatt points after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of opening your Chase Hyatt card.

    The card’s other perks will remain the same:

    And there will still be a $75 annual fee that’s NOT waived the first year.

    Should You Apply Now?

    If you’ve been considering this card, I’d apply before these changes go into effect.  Because the 2 free night certificates you’ll earn with the current sign-up bonus are good for ANY Hyatt hotel around the world!  Including Hyatt’s top-tier Category 6 and Category 7 hotels, which cost 25,000 or 30,000 Hyatt points per night.

    You can read my full review of the Chase Hyatt card here.

    That said, folks who like to stretch their points at lower-category hotels might welcome the change.  For example, with 40,000 Hyatt points, you could get 5 free nights at Hyatt category 2 hotels, like the Hyatt Regency Montreal.

    And don’t forget, the Chase Hyatt is NOT affected by the 5/24 rule.  Plus, Chase usually allows folks to get the sign-up bonus on their cards again as long as you haven’t received the bonus in the previous 2 years AND you don’t have the card currently open.

    Bottom Line

    As of June 29, 2017, the Chase Hyatt card will no longer offer 2 free night certificates after meeting minimum spending requirements.

    Instead, you’ll earn 40,000 bonus Hyatt points after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of opening your Chase Hyatt card.

    I’m happy that Hyatt has given everyone a heads-up!  So you can apply before the changes go into effect.
