New Hyatt Card 2 Free Night Enhanced Offer: No Minimum Spend, Suite Upgrades for Platinum and Smart Chip
Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.
On Friday I wrote that Chase might be changing the Hyatt Visa offering this week, but unfortunately I didn't have the details at the time. The Hyatt Visa was on my "to do" list for a while, so I went ahead and applied because I didn't want to lose out on the sign-up bonus of two free nights in a suite, which to me is worth at least $1,000.
They just updated the card and it looks like it's all positive changes:
1) There's no longer a minimum spend to get the free nights (it used to be $1,000 spend within 3 months for all non-Diamond members).
2) Current Platinum members who apply for the card now get two suite upgrade certificates that will upgrade a standard room to a suite on paid stays of up to 7 days each. Per the offer details these seem like the same upgrade certificates that Diamond members get every year.
"Suite Upgrade Awards are valid for use within one year from issuance on paid nights, each for one stay of a maximum of 7 consecutive nights, at participating Hyatt Hotels and Resorts where suite accommodations are available. Suite Upgrade Awards are not available on all suite types. Awards cannot be combined. Awards are not transferable. After qualifying, please allow 10 days for your Awards to post to your Hyatt Gold Passport account."
3) The card now comes with Smart Chip technology, which makes it more useful for international spend - especially since it doesn't have a foreign transaction fee.
Overall, this is good news, especially if you are looking for a card sign-up that doesn't require any minimum spend. If you don't have Hyatt status, but do with another hotel chain, I'd recommend asking for a status challenge before applying for the card so you can get the suite benefits. All you have to do is email goldpassport@hyatt.com.
If you applied last week and prefer this offer, send Chase a secure message or call them and ask them to switch you to this offer. If you are a Platinum member, those two free suite upgrade certificates are valuable - as a Diamond I get 4 a year and use every single one of them. Since this isn't a new card product, they should be able to switch your account to this offer. Chase has exceptional customer service, so please feel free to report back your experience.
