I’m reposting this because there is a referral offer for 40,000 points and I want people to be aware of this better offer. Note if you have somebody you know referring you that offer might be better as they also receive 10,000 points (they could give you $50 or more to make up for the difference in offers).
Reposting as offer is available again (h/t to /r/churning). Try using the direct link below (and read the warning) better is to just do a dummy booking and follow these steps:
- Search for any hotel on Hyatt.com
- Select any room
- On final payment screen the offer will appear, click that link
The Offer
Direct link to offer (Note that this might redirect you to the 40,000 offer without the $50 statement credit after clicking apply now, so becareful. Better to do a dummy booking to get the offer to show)

Our Verdict
40,000 points is the new standard bonus on this card, replacing the two free night offer. We have seen a targeted offer of 50,000 points in the past, but that was likely just testing for trying a points based offer. Hyatt’s award chart looks like this:
Also keep in mind that once a year they have been offering a rebate on points for Hyatt cardholders. This year it was a 10% rebate (2016 was 10% also, 2015 was 20%). Hyatt points also do not expire as long as you’ve had some points earning activity within a 24 month period. This is one of the better offers on Chase credit cards that are not subjected to the 5/24 rule. As always please read through this list of things everybody should know about Chase credit cards before applying or asking questions in the comments (as they have likely already been answered in more detail). I’ll be adding this card to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
