Hyatt and Chase offered a five-free-night welcome bonus on the World of Hyatt Credit Card from January 15 to February 26, 2026. That offer has ended; check the current World of Hyatt Credit Card terms before applying. 

From January 15 through February 26, 2026, new cardmembers could earn:

  • 3 free nights at any participating Category 1-4 Hyatt hotel after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening AND
  • 2 additional free nights at any of those hotels after spending $15,000 on purchases in the first 6 months.

A Category 4 hotel is as much as 18,000 points at peak times (12,000 off peak and 15,000 standard). If you used the 5 nights at peak, the offer would be worth 90,000 World of Hyatt points (75,000 at standard times). 

Keep in mind that you also get a free Category 1-4 night anyway when you spend $15,000 in a calendar year, so you’d wind up with 6 free night awards.

Caveats:

  • Remember you cannot apply Suite Upgrade Awards to nights booked with certificates. 
  • They expire in a year
  • They cannot be topped off, so there is no way to book a Cat 5+ with these under any circumstances. 

Those caveats aside, it was a pretty fantastic offer! What do you think?

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! Several years ago, I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born. Since then, I've written my book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points (2nd Edition) - (author profile), give seminars on miles and points all over the world, and occasionally write for publications such as Frommer's and Forbes Advisor.
