Chase Hyatt - Spend increased from 1k to 2k

CreditCuriosity — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 13:45:38 GMT

Not sure if this has been posted, but possibly one of the best sign up bonuses get slightly tougher to achieve. Chase just recently increased the spend requirement from 1k to 2k on the Chase Hyatt card for the 2 free nights at any Hyatt. Not a huge spend still, but just informing people that might not of seen or known this.

edit: also AF isn't waived for 1st year anymore either.

i don't see what the big deal is. Especially for folks that got the $50 from a dummy booking. It would cost you at most $11.30 more to get some gift cards etc. Its not like its 4k or something astronomical.

No big deal at all, just informing peole is all.. 1k was really low spend IMO for what they gave you.

Thanks CC

Yeah I saw this yesterday and while it's not a lot of increased spend..... to me it decreases the value a bit

Example

NY Park hyatt which can go for 1k a night redemption

This gave you incredible value

Now its still not bad as you're basically getting a refund of the 2k you spent minus the AF

However if you don't redeem for say 1k each its less of a return on your money

Verse past history my 1k spend could result in 1k profit and the return of my original 1k investment while testing the card for free the 1st year

When I read the story I actually wondered who's behind this change Chase or Hyatt?

Things that make you go hummmm

My guess is Chase wants Hyatt to obide by the 5x24 rule and Hyatt isn't agreeing to the change thus Chase might be raising the spend requirements and not waiving first year AF? As most cards are under 5x24 rule with exception of about 6ish. Only speculation though. Many other card companies would love to have the Hyatt card! I really wish Chase didn't have a 90% monopoly on all the awesome airline/hotel cards. Of course this comes from someone that loves sign-up bonuses are quite frankly stinks at gardening (myself)

Lol

See I thought the other way.....

Hyatt certs are being redeemed in all the high end locations

Beaver creek Co

NY Park Hyatt

Maldives (guilty)

Paris Vendome

Australia Sydney

etc etc

So if Hyatt is behind it and since they've rolled out points + cash

You may have to fork up a few dollars with the cert now to redeem

Or there's always the Cat 1-4 Hyatt in some less traveled area with a view of the train and no spa.....Lol

My vote Hyatt did it

Sorry was kind of parroting a post from another forum, didn't mean to come off a little harsh! You are right, 1k over 90 days should be effortless for almost anyone, but the change is a big surprise especially since they are backdating.

I wonder if they are informing anyone about it? At least chase should be kind enough to let the person get the bonus post 90 days if they werent informed after they meet the spend.
