Chase Hyatt Visa Signature Linky
In August, Chase added an enhancement to the Hyatt card, a free night (excluding hotels in category 5 or 6) on every Anniversary of having the card.
Numerous DansDeals Forum members who opened a Chase Hyatt card since August are now reporting that they have received the free Anniversary night along with the free nights signup bonus at any Hyatt for opening the card!
If you have opened the Hyatt card since August check your Hyatt.com account online under “my awards” and post a comment if you also have a free anniversary night in addition to the 2 free nights for signing up.
More about the Hyatt card:
-Current non-elites earn 1 free night at any Hyatt worldwide without blackout dates for spending $1 and another free night after spending $1,000.

Confirmed. I got the email, and it shows up on my account page.
Confirmed here as well, awesome!
I din’nt get it what can I do to get it? please help:)!
Hmm, just logged in and clicked into My Awards, but don’t see any free anniversary night. BTW, I applied and got my Chase Hyatt card in late September.
@mike:
When did you apply? There’s nothing you can do if you didn’t get it unless you’ve had the card for a year.
@Chuck:
Well the people who got the card in August all just reported getting the anniversary night yesterday, so either it may take another month for you to get the anniversary night, or it may have just been a fluke for those who applied in August?
Keep us posted either way in a month from now!
Aha, so you’re saying that if I just got approved for my Hyatt card (which, in fact, I did!), I’ll prob see the extra night in a coupla months?
Thanks!
@chez:
It’s entirely possible that in about 3 months you’ll get another free night, but as they say, YMMV, your mileage may vary!
So if I don’t use the 2 I have now, the 2 will disappear and a new one will appear? Have there been any reports of getting the original 2 extended?
Dan, I think it was either August or September.
Yay, I got one! What a nice surprise. 🙂
Jamie… I don’t think you can extend them, but I believe the expiration date actually applies to when you make the reservation… so as long as you get the reservation in before expiration (even it it’s a reservation for a few months down the road), you should be golden. Correct me if I’m wrong, folks!
@Dan: thanks Dan, that makes sense. will see what happens and report back. BTW, your site is a true gem! Through your posts and also the invaluable comments from your readers, we’ve learned a lot and benefited plenty (e.g. free Hilton upgrade to Gold via Visa Signature, matching to Hyatt Diamond via Hilton Gold, credit card reconsideration tips, etc). Thanks a ton for all that you do!
@Joyce: if you don’t mind, around when did you apply for / receive your card?
@Chuck: August sometime. The first statement cut Sept. 17, if that helps.
@Dan: I got the card in September and got the email that my reward is on the way today! Looks like September is going to get the same!
I assume that if I cancel the card, my Hyatt gold passport account and current resevations will be UNaffected?
where can I use my free nights as I see they have no hotels in Israel
